Peninsula Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Peninsula Nursing and Rehabilitation Center occupies a prime location at 50-15 Beach Channel Drive in Far Rockaway, Queens — situated along the scenic corridor that traces Jamaica Bay on the northern side of the Rockaway Peninsula. Managed by Cassena Care, a respected multi-facility operator with a long track record of skilled nursing excellence throughout the New York metropolitan area, Peninsula combines the strength of an experienced management organization with the warmth of a community-rooted care environment. Beach Channel Drive is one of the peninsula's defining roadways, running parallel to Jamaica Bay and offering residents and families a sense of the open, coastal character that makes the Rockaways unlike any other neighborhood in New York City. The Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge — a protected federal sanctuary within Gateway National Recreation Area — is a short distance away, providing unspoiled waterfront habitat and a tranquil natural backdrop that benefits residents seeking a restorative recovery environment. Cassena Care's management philosophy centers on evidence-based clinical protocols, consistent staffing, and individualized care planning. At Peninsula, this translates to skilled nursing services including post-acute rehabilitation, orthopedic recovery programs, cardiac and pulmonary care, wound management, and memory care support. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work alongside nursing staff to deliver goal-oriented therapy that maximizes each resident's potential for recovery and independence. St. John's Episcopal Hospital on Beach 19th Street provides close acute care support, while families from Nassau County communities including Lawrence, Inwood, and Five Towns find the Beach Channel Drive location easily accessible via Rockaway Turnpike and Sheridan Boulevard. The A train's Far Rockaway branch serves the broader peninsula, connecting residents and their families to the rest of the city. Local amenities along Mott Avenue, the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk, and the commercial areas of nearby Nassau County ensure that families visiting loved ones at Peninsula have every convenience within reach. Under Cassena Care's stewardship, Peninsula Nursing and Rehabilitation Center stands as one of the Rockaways' most trusted destinations for skilled nursing care.
