University Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing

University Nursing Home and University Center

The 2015 city inventory records University Nursing Home at 2505 Grand Avenue as a residential healthcare facility with 46 beds. The historical Centers for Specialty Care Group address list uses the same name, street address and telephone number.

CMS identifies University Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing at that address, with 46 certified beds and University Nursing Home LLC as the legal business. The state profile gives the same operator and location. The facility’s own website places University Center within the Centers Health Care network.

Nursing, therapy and recovery

University Center describes short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. Its health services include physical therapy for mobility and strength, occupational therapy for everyday activities, and speech therapy addressing communication and swallowing. The speech therapy description specifically includes recovery after stroke.

The published subacute care programme lists wound care, diabetes management, respiratory care, postoperative orthopedic care, IV antibiotics and amputee recovery. Cardiac therapies combine exercise with dietary and resident education components. These programmes sit alongside nursing care and individualized rehabilitation planning at the Bronx facility.
