Silvercrest Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation provides quality in long-term care is a true challenge. Needing to do the same in rehabilitation and in the care of ventilator-dependent patients might quite naturally be expected to magnify that challenge. However, Silvercrest Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Queens, New York has harnessed the resources and created the spirit and environment that are needed to excel in all three endeavors. It is, in fact, the synergy that has developed between our three patient care systems that allows us to deliver a level of quality for each that would be hard to achieve for individual services existing on their own. Just as our long term care residents benefit from the presence of a vibrant, on-site sub-acute rehabilitation program, and from the sophisticated medical resources needed to run our award-winning ventilator and respiratory care unit, so the lives of our ventilator patients are enriched by the recreational and pastoral resources of our long term care program. Silvercrest has chosen to meld three missions into one, and that mission is... "Giving Quality to Life."
