Respite Care
It is important to recognize that taking a break from care-giving can be a positive step for both the caregiver and their loved one. Respite care is an excellent option for family caregivers who would like to take a vacation or business trip or just need a short break from care-giving to regroup and relax. Short-term stays are also a great option for seniors who want the extra security of additional assistance during an illness or while recuperating.
Short-term stay patients are invited to participate in a range of social, educational and recreational programs to ensure that the respite stay is stimulating and enjoyable for each individual.
The respite care services at East Neck Nursing & Rehabilitation Center allow families time to relax and reenergize, knowing that their loved one is in the hands of dedicated, well-trained team members in a quality-focused, safe and secure environment .

Welcoming Patients, Visitors and Friends
At East Neck, we perform in-house laboratory testing that often eliminates the need to send patients outside of the facility for necessary medical tests. We routinely screen patients for strep throat, mononucleosis and influenza and perform basic blood sugar, urinary and other laboratory testing as needed. Our practitioners will collect blood samples and send them out to outside laboratories for tests we do not perform in-house. For patients requiring x-ray imaging, East Neck conveniently performs in-house radiologic imaging using our digital x-ray system.
