Long-Term Care & Skilled Nursing Facility

Our Community Has Everything You Need

When you are choosing a skilled nursing provider or long-term care facility, what is important to you? It is our job at Gurwin to make sure we provide a community to exceed all expectations and deliver everything you need. The best way to learn about our New York nursing home is to schedule a tour.

What sets our skilled nursing community apart from other long-term care facilities in New York is our ability to provide for most of our residents’ needs “in house.” This is an important distinction — it means you can be cared for right at Gurwin, without needing to go offsite to handle routine needs such as dentistry, ophthalmology, specialty physician services, x-rays and dialysis.

Our skilled nursing pavilion has 460 beds, providing comprehensive long-term care and short-term rehabilitation services. Besides short-term rehabilitation, we provide sub-acute medical and post-surgical care including: IV infusion therapy, wound care, parenteral nutrition, and renal and peritoneal dialysis.

In addition to outstanding medical care, our long-term care community offers many other perks that make our residents’ lives even more comfortable and enjoyable: Our beauty salon keeps our residents looking their best; we have a well-stocked gift shop; three beautifully-landscaped patios are available for enjoying the outdoors; and an on-site synagogue.

Our 36-acre Gurwin campus in New York is a Life Plan Community, designed to enable residents transition comfortably over the years, aging in place as their medical needs change. In addition to an impressive nursing home & rehabilitation facility, Gurwin also offers independent living for active older adults at Fountaingate Gardens, assisted living and memory care at our Gurwin Jewish ~ Fay J. Lindner Residences, social model and medical adult day health program, home care, on-site dialysis, and palliative and hospice care.
