Astoria Place Living & Rehab Center, connected with Legacy Healthcare, offers senior living and skilled nursing care with 164 certified beds, and there's usually about 155 residents each day. The facility provides short-term rehabilitation, orthopedic rehabilitation, wound care managed by certified specialists, pain management, and a secured memory care unit for residents dealing with Alzheimer's and Dementia. There's around-the-clock nursing care with staff including experienced nurses, certified nurse assistants, social workers, activities staff, and rehabilitation specialists, though nurse staffing levels average 3.07 nurse hours per resident per day, which is below the state average. Nurse turnover at 44.9% is just under the typical state rate.
Residents can use amenities like a beauty salon, a barbershop, laundry, a grand library with a fireplace, and family dining rooms. Suites and accommodations come with comfortable furniture, flatscreen TVs with cable, and personal storage space. There's also access to hospitality rooms for quiet time or social visits, a movie area, and enrichment activities such as dominoes, bingo, puzzles, card games, and bowling. Special programs include a Russian & Cantonese Program and regular activities like Shabbat candle lighting, Sunday programs, and monthly birthday parties. The center offers dietary services, housekeeping, and maintenance as well.
Astoria Place keeps a HIPAA policy for privacy and supports both in-person and virtual tours, which folks can schedule if they're interested. The building is described as inviting, with earth-tone colors and plenty of natural light in the hospitality rooms. Clinical services are on-site with therapy equipment ready, personalized rehab, strength-building, neuromuscular therapy, and speech or occupational therapy offered to meet individual needs. The memory care unit has safety features and programming specifically for residents needing extra supervision.
While Astoria Place was named to America's Best Nursing Homes 2025 by Newsweek for the second year running, state inspection reports list eight deficiencies as of November 2024, including infection control issues and problems with food procurement and preparation, plus a quality of life and care deficiency for not keeping the environment free from accident hazards. There've been 27 documented deficiencies over time, two related to infection, and one from March 2025 tied to insufficient supervision to prevent hazards.
Staff and administration focus on maintaining dignity and respect, but the inspection records and staffing figures can give families important information to consider when looking at this facility.
