respite care

At Glen Island Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, our respite service provides home-based caregivers a much deserved break and the confidence that their loved ones are being well taken care of, with the utmost compassion and dignity.  
 
At Glen Island Center, a single short-term stay may last up to 30 days. Additional stays are possible, for a maximum of 42 days in any given year. The respite service is open to adults with subacute, chronic or terminal illnesses who require supervision, monitoring and medication management.  
 
Prior to staying with us, we bring seniors and family members together to conduct an assessment. This assessment helps determine the appropriate services and care for each individual. 

Patients are admitted under several financial programs, including Medicare/Medicaid or private insurance.  A deputized Medicaid worker is on premise to provide information and/or assist in the Medicaid application process.

If you have questions about our long-term care services, or would like to schedule a tour, please call us at (914) 636-2800 or toll free (866) 614-4398.
