About Eger Health Care and Rehabilitation Center

+
Eger Health Care and Rehabilitation Center, located on Meisner Avenue in the New Dorp neighborhood of Staten Island, offers expert skilled nursing and rehabilitation services under the compassionate stewardship of ArchCare — the health care ministry of the Archdiocese of New York. As one of Staten Island's most established care communities, Eger has deep roots in the borough's South Shore, serving generations of local families with a mission grounded in dignity, community, and clinical excellence. New Dorp is one of Staten Island's most vibrant and accessible neighborhoods, offering residents and their families a rich local environment. New Dorp Lane, the neighborhood's beloved commercial strip, is lined with family-owned restaurants, bakeries, specialty shops, and cafes that have served the community for decades — giving families a welcoming backdrop for visits. The nearby New Dorp Beach area and, just to the south, the expansive Great Kills Park — a stunning unit of Gateway National Recreation Area featuring beaches, nature trails, and marina access — offer exceptional outdoor destinations that speak to Staten Island's underappreciated natural beauty. For medical care, Staten Island University Hospital's South campus, one of the borough's principal acute care centers and a Level I trauma facility, is located in close proximity. This ensures that residents requiring hospital-level intervention can receive rapid, coordinated care with minimal transition disruption. ArchCare's network also facilitates specialist consultations and continuity of care across their broader system of New York City health care facilities. ArchCare's mission — rooted in Catholic social teaching — is to provide compassionate, high-quality care to vulnerable New Yorkers regardless of their background or means. At Eger, this translates to a care culture that treats each resident as a whole person: attending to physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs through an interdisciplinary team of nurses, therapists, social workers, and chaplains. For Staten Island families, Eger Health Care represents the assurance of a trusted, mission-driven organization with a long-standing commitment to the communities of New York City's most residential borough.
