Central Island Healthcare Prioritizes Support Systems for Well-Being

PLAINVIEW, N.Y. - Aug. 2, 2023 - PRLog -- Central Island Healthcare reaffirms its dedication to the safety, comfort, and dignity of all who step within its esteemed walls. The facility is unwavering in its commitment to nurturing an environment where families, residents, and staff find solace in robust support systems.

An integral part of this framework is the Cona Elder Law, PLLC-operated help desk. Available bi-weekly on Tuesdays from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm, this resource offers specialized aid in intricate Medicaid eligibility and guardianship concerns. It facilitates informed decision-making during the placement process.

Families benefit from extended visiting hours from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, seven days a week. Beyond facilitating more flexible visitations, this extension alleviates parking congestion issues. For families unable to visit in person, the Recreation Department orchestrates FaceTime calls, bridging distances and fostering connections. Additionally, private family parties are accommodated to celebrate special occasions, fostering togetherness.

Central Island Healthcare warmly welcomes pets, understanding the positive influence of furry companions on residents' well-being. Vaccination proof for pets is mandatory, ensuring a safe and harmonious living environment.

Family engagement is actively promoted through an array of on and off-unit programs and events, with the activity calendar accessible at the front lobby. Open communication is prioritized, with Administrator David Goldman and Director of Nursing Marly Bastien readily available around the clock to address concerns.

Resident voices are amplified through monthly family forum-style meetings, attended by an Ombudsman, ensuring their rights are upheld. Formal grievances are channeled through the Grievance Officer, Kameca Balan, Director of Social Work, empowering residents in their care.

Community engagement is integral to Central Island Healthcare's ethos. Sponsorship of local events like the Spring and Fall Fest by the Jewish Community Center in Plainview underscores their commitment. Collaboration with the AsaMai Hindu Temple allows South Asian residents to partake in Indian Culture programs, fostering inclusivity.

The motto "Feeling is Healing" encapsulates the facility's approach, treating each individual like family. High-quality services have garnered returning residents and visiting spouses seeking medical care, drawn by the compassion exhibited.

Staff welfare is equally paramount, acknowledged through sign-on bonuses, competitive salaries, and comprehensive benefits. Weekly BBQs, ice cream truck events, award ceremonies, and holiday parties bolster team morale and foster better care provision.

Central Island Healthcare embodies exceptional care, robust support systems, and active community participation, cultivating a home-like haven. It invites all seeking a nurturing environment for their loved ones or themselves.
