South Shore Rehabilitation And Nursing Center Description
South Shore Rehabilitation & Nursing Center proudly leads the way as Long Island’s premier facility for sub-acute services and long-term care for over 60 years. South Shore has consistently provided outstanding quality care while staying updated with medical advancements and the changing needs of their patients. Over the years they have developed close relationships with most Long Island hospitals and has also maintained referral relationships with health facilities nationwide.
​South Shore expanded services within a traditional nursing home setting and was among the very first to offer sub-acute rehab services on the East Coast. This offered residents an option for short-term services at South Shore such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, IV therapy, wound care, pain management and more after a hospital stay.
​South Shore also opened one of the first dedicated sub-acute respiratory and ventilator-weaning units. This unique 40-bed program has since returned hundreds of patients, many of whom were thought to be ventilator-dependent for the rest of their lives, home completely vent-free. There is careful placement of in-wall oxygen and suctioning throughout the building which gives respiratory patients nearly full access to the facility’s buildings and grounds, allowing them an opportunity to enjoy activities and greater mobility during their stay.
