Short-Term Sub-Acute Rehabilitation
Subacute care is defined as comprehensive inpatient care designed for someone who has an acute illness, injury or exacerbation of a disease process. Premier Nursing and Rehab Center of Far Rockaway provides a completely renovated and beautiful sub-acute unit to complete inpatient care for someone suffering from these conditions. Our brand new unit features its own physical therapy gym, along with dining and recreation space.
Long-Term Rehabilitation
Designed to address the needs of patient populations who require different levels of care, whether they function with a greater degree of independence, need assistance with activities of daily living; or require medical attention for conditions that are clinically complex.
IV Therapy
Premier can administer therapy intravenously, preventing air from diluting medication as it enters the bloodstream. It is the fastest way to deliver important pharmaceuticals to the body, and it is used for certain patients as deemed appropriate by our medical team.
Palliative Care
Patients with a variety of more long-term, chronic illnesses will discover tremendous support as part of our palliative care program. Our goal is to make our patients as comfortable as possible, doing what we can to relieve stress and pain so that quality of life can be optimized.
Speech Therapy
For patients who have experienced a diminished ability to communicate due to their condition, we use a variety of exercises, audiovisual aids, and cutting-edge treatment protocols to empower our patients with speech.
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists tailor their approach to each person, helping residents develop skills for activities of daily living and self-care tasks such as feeding or dressing.
Physical Therapy
Our staff members are trained to work with residents with various mobility related issues: residents recovering from stroke and other brain injuries, fractures and amputations and residents with neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease or Multiple Sclerosis.
Respiratory Therapy
Acute and chronic breathing conditions can be managed effectively by our respiratory therapists, who use respirators and medicine to ensure that our patients can breathe as effortlessly as possible.

At Premier Nursing and Rehab Center of Far Rockaway, wounds are cared for with proper dressing and medication to mitigate risk of infection. We watch wounds closely and use techniques to expedite the healing process if possible.
Pain Management
We use an interdisciplinary approach to managing pain, always with the goal of developing a treatment plan to improve quality of life. Patients may require pharmaceuticals, or may benefit from massage therapy or mental health services or something else.
Respite Services
Respite services allows individuals with special needs to enter the facility for a temporary stay (from several days to three weeks) while their caregivers are away or taking temporary relief from the emotional and physical stresses which are often associated with caregiving.
Therapeutic Recreation
Our therapeutic recreation program helps our patients work on mobility and other skills outside of their other speech, physical, or occupational therapy sessions, and it also gives them a chance to develop friendships essential to feeling joyful and self-confident.
Nutrition Therapy
We monitor the nutrition status of our residents and gives the right foods or nutrients to treat any conditions they may have. It may involve simple changes in their diet, or intravenous or tube feeding.
Elder Plan
The clinical staff comprised of nurse practitioners or physician assistants work directly on-site and coordinate with other care providers such as primary care physicians, hospital doctors, and specialists. Through this model, patients get care rapidly and ultimately prevent and reduce hospitalization and unnecessary ER visits.
