Far Rockaway Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing

Located at 13-11 Virginia Street in the established residential core of Far Rockaway, Queens, Far Rockaway Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing provides skilled nursing and comprehensive rehabilitation services to the Rockaway Peninsula and surrounding communities. Operating as a for-profit partnership, the center brings together experienced healthcare professionals united by a shared mission: helping residents regain strength, independence, and quality of life. Virginia Street sits close to the heart of Far Rockaway, giving the facility easy access to the neighborhood's full array of services. Families visiting loved ones can take advantage of the shops and restaurants along Mott Avenue, the area's main commercial hub, and enjoy the proximity of Rockaway Beach and the expansive Gateway National Recreation Area — ideal for a restorative walk before or after a visit. St. John's Episcopal Hospital, located on Beach 19th Street, is the closest full-service hospital and serves as a critical resource for residents requiring acute medical attention or specialized diagnostics. The facility's care team maintains strong collaborative relationships with area physicians and hospital discharge planners to ensure smooth, coordinated transitions into and out of skilled nursing care. Far Rockaway's location on the Rockaway Peninsula means residents experience the calming coastal atmosphere that defines this unique Queens enclave. Jamaica Bay borders the community to the north, offering wildlife refuges, open water views, and a slower pace of life that benefits patients focused on recovery and rehabilitation. Families traveling from Nassau County suburbs such as Lawrence, Woodmere, and Valley Stream find Far Rockaway conveniently accessible via Rockaway Turnpike and Peninsula Boulevard. The A train's Far Rockaway branch provides direct subway access for family members throughout the city. The center's partnership model ensures accountability and a commitment to delivering skilled, attentive care at every level.
