Buena Vida Continuing Care and Rehabilitation Center

Information may not be reliable

Opened in February 2001, Buena Vida Continuing Care and Rehabilitation Center is a state-of-the-art 240-bed residential healthcare center providing long and short term care including rehabilitation. Planned and built in cooperation with local community groups, Buena Vida was sponsored by the Ridgewood Bushwick Senior Citizen Council, and was designed to complement its residential neighborhood.
Comfortable modern amenities are provided in a home-like environment. Spacious sun-filled rooms and lounges are ideal for social visits, recreation, or solitary activities. Buena Vida's environment is designed to promote the clinical, social, and spiritual healing of its residents. To assure that our services remain in touch with these needs, Buena Vida has an active resident and family council.
Continuing Care at Buena Vida is provided in a supportive, clinically supervised environment designed for the care of the frail elderly or disabled adult requiring a level of health care services that cannot be provided at home. Buena Vida is staffed by highly skilled professionals who are committed to the health and welfare of the residents.

Looking Forward to Our Future
Buena Vida has already developed an outstanding reputation for quality resident care in the communities we serve. To meet the growing demand for high quality service and care, the facility has initiated an expansion and renovation program which was completed in 2005. The project created a new and expanded clinical services center on the eighth floor with breath-taking views of the New York City skyline.

The Center houses an expanded Rehabilitation Department including Physical and Occupational Therapy, Audiology, Speech Therapy, Dentistry, Ophthalmology, and Employee Health. The Resident Care Units were also reconfigured to provide "restaurant-style" dining (instead of tray service), and expanded space for medication administration and storage. New administrative spaces include a Board Room and conference spaces, the consolidation of Nursing Administration, and upgraded facilities for Social Work, Admissions, and Finance.
