Health Central Park

Health Central Park sits as a non-profit senior living community where people find both inpatient rehab and post-acute care, and when walking through the halls you notice they've set things up for comfort and security, with staff on hand all hours, and more than 225 beds available for those needing extra support, and what stands out here is you can see the staff includes a full-time Nurse Practitioner, alongside licensed nurses, aides, and medical staff, all working together, probably making sure every resident's unique care plan gets attention whether it's therapy, medication, or help with meals. You often hear about their Family and Resident Councils, which give families and residents a voice in daily life, and there's always a mix of activities-like games, music, field trips, and even pet therapy-that make days brighter, and even folks with memory needs get help since they have services for Dementia and Alzheimer's care. Health Central Park deals in quite a few therapies, like physical, occupational, speech, cardiac, and diabetes management, and if someone's working on stroke recovery or needs pain help, they cover that too, with special programs like the Digestive Health Institute, Diabetes Education, Colon and Rectal Care, Bariatric Surgery, and joint replacement care, and they're hospital-based with a smoke-free campus and a Patient Portal system. There's no Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) level here, but you'll find adult day care and long-term care, plus professional medical care from doctors, nurse practitioners, and a range of therapists and aides, often going above the state standards for nurse-to-patient ratios. People who need help with things like diabetes management, orthopedic rehabilitation, lymphedema care, pharmacy needs, and nutritional counseling find services on-site, and the dining program helps residents with meal prep and serving. Health Central Park takes Medicare, Medicaid, and most other insurance, and they do accept donations, which isn't so common. What sets it a bit apart is how it's built services and programs you don't always find together-like social activities, arts and crafts, physical exercise, reminiscing, and structured field trips-all in a setting designed to feel peaceful and safe.
