Queen of Peace Residence

Queen of Peace Residence, located on 221st Street in the heart of Queens Village, is a distinguished skilled nursing community rooted in a profound tradition of compassionate elder care. Operated by the Little Sisters of the Poor — a Catholic religious congregation founded in 1839 with a global mission to serve the elderly poor with love and dignity — Queen of Peace Residence stands as a beacon of faith-based, mission-driven long-term care in southeastern Queens. The Little Sisters of the Poor have dedicated nearly two centuries to ensuring that older adults, regardless of financial means, receive respectful and dignified care. At Queen of Peace Residence, this spirit is felt in every aspect of daily life — from the attentiveness of the nursing staff to the warmth of the residential environment. Skilled nursing services include 24-hour nursing coverage, post-acute rehabilitation, wound care, palliative care, and support for residents with complex chronic conditions. Queens Village is a stable, family-oriented neighborhood that offers seniors and their visiting families a wealth of conveniences and community resources. Jamaica Avenue, one of southeastern Queens' primary commercial corridors, is easily accessible and features grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and retail shops. Green Acres Mall in nearby Valley Stream provides additional shopping just across the Nassau County border. For cultural and spiritual enrichment, the area is served by numerous houses of worship, community organizations, and cultural centers reflecting the neighborhood's rich diversity. For medical needs, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and Long Island Jewish Medical Center (Northwell Health) in New Hyde Park are both accessible from Queens Village, providing residents and families confidence that specialist care is within reach. Alley Pond Park — one of Queens' largest natural preserves — and the Springfield Lake area offer peaceful green spaces for family visits and outdoor enjoyment. Queen of Peace Residence is more than a skilled nursing facility; it is a community built on love, respect, and the conviction that every elder deserves to live and be cared for with the utmost dignity.
