Every breath we take is a gift;
at Long Island Care we don’t take that for granted.

Having your loved one on a ventilator is an emotionally stressful experience; we view this as a transitional stage. Our  round-the-clock team of Respiratory Therapists are here to provide and ensure the utmost of care and maximum results.

Our major objective is to wean our patients off the ventilator, provide them with rehabilitation therapies and to return them to their optimum level of health. That level is attained when patients are breathing on their own once again and have reached their highest level of function.

We look forward to returning them back to their homes to lead normal lives.

Our ventilator unit is staffed by an expert team of specialists. A dedicated RN and Respiratory Therapist are on hand 24/7, and a Pulmonologist oversees the care and weaning process of our residents.

Our NY State Certified Ventilator unit consists of state-of-the-art machinery & the latest technology – the very same equipment found in most hospital intensive care units.

Our Respiratory Therapist, Speech Pathologist and Registered Dietician work together to return our vent patients to a normal diet whenever possible.

We provide specialized recreational activities to stimulate our vent patients on a one-to-one basis.
