I just spent the last four weeks at Central Island healthcare for rehab for a total knee replacement. I have nothing but good things to say I immediately noticed how bright and crisp the linens and bedspreads were. I had a windowsill with the view! The entire staff was very accommodating and respectful. They even anticipated my need for a raised toilet seat and had it waiting! Everyone came to introduce themselves personally by the next morning & it began awesome as my meds were on time and to my surprise, bacon for breakfast! The kitchen was also very accommodating with their wide selection of substitutions delivered personally! The hallways were clean and quiet beds were made fresh daily while at PT. the entire Rehabilitation team was wonderful, OT& PT. I enjoyed riding the bikes & walking outside.The atmosphere was cheerful and residents were helping and inspiring to each other. I looked forward to going each day. The recreation team was terrific! They came to your room each morning chipper as can be with the flyer of the daily activities and entertainment. I experience the hula luau and singers on two occasions, but I must say my favorite was the patio where the “regulars”would meet to catch some sun & conversation. I’m looking forward to returning for my next surgery shortly!

My husband was at Central Island Healthcare for 3 months and received great care, The PA’s, nurses and CNA’s were very kind and considerate to his needs. The PT, OT and Speech Therapists were patient and understanding. The recreation dept was remarkable trying to engage him in activities he likes. Also, the social workers gave us direction in care in the future. Central island is very clean and cordial atmosphere.

The first thing I noticed when visiting my dad the parking lot where the handicap spots were broken asphalt . Taking my dad out on July 4th we could not wheel the wheelchair. The doors and windows entering the facility were filthy for a health care system. Poor air conditioning. The day hours the aides were good. The 11-7 shift my dad sat in his feces up to 3 hours after pushing the button they would come he would tell them his issue and they would say “I will be back “. This happened 3 times in his 7 day stay. His last night there the ceiling tile fell out of the ceiling on to his leg. HORRIBLE!

Our mom just spent the last seven weeks at this facility. The care was outstanding. It’s very difficult and emotional to put a parent in a facility when you’re uncertain about what they’re walking into. Central Island really pulls out all the stops for an ailing parent. The staff was very professional, and in particular Stephanie in the front office, who did a great job managing my mother’s care. Dawn K in the physical therapy office worked tirelessly and was a true advocate to ensure the best possible outcome. The day to day care from all the aids was extremely attentive, and in particular, Christine was upbeat and helpful at all times. I would highly recommend Central Island for your rehabilitation needs.

My name is Jeffrey Raymond. I was a resident at Central Island Healthcare this past summer for short term rehabilitation following an operation. I have since moved out of state and today i am visiting family on a short trip to new york and couldnt pass up the opportunity to visit the facility. I would like to thank therapy, dietary and recreation staff for going beyond the call of duty to help me get on my feet again. I can take my dogs on walks again and have restored my prior level of functioning thanks to the therapy team. I wanted to personally thank Ian Rousseau, the director of food service for always going out of his way to accommodae my food substitutions and personally delivering them to me. Last but not least, a shout out to the recreation department lead by Dorothea Schiller. Her team visited me everyday with escorts and invitations to delicious bbqs, music performances, trivia on the patio and personal visits daily to see if i needed any books, magazines, a phone charger or assistance with a facetime call. Central Island made me feel welcome, important and delivered quality nursing care.
