Are You Searching for the Best Home Care Agency to Provide Care After Sands Point Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation

This guide is offered by 7 Day Home Care to assist families planning in-home support following a stay at Sands Point Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation, located at 1440 Port Washington Boulevard, Port Washington, NY 11050. As a boutique-style skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility on Long Island’s North Shore, Sands Point combines luxury amenities with clinical expertise. Their rehabilitation, respiratory care, and therapy programs are designed to support patients’ return to independence. 7 Day Home Care is a fully licensed, independent, private-pay home care agency (not affiliated with Sands Point) dedicated to ensuring a safe and effective transition from facility to home.

Does 7 Day Home Care Provide Post-Rehab Home Care After Discharge from Sands Point?

Yes - we offer RN-supervised, certified home health aide services for patients discharging from Sands Point. We coordinate with the facility’s discharge planners and social workers to understand every detail of your care plan. Our process includes conducting a thorough nursing assessment (including home safety evaluation) and crafting a personalized care plan. We then match you with a caregiver whose skills, personality, and cultural understanding align with your needs — available hourly, live-in, or 24-hour. We accept private pay and work with major long-term care insurance carriers to help ease financial burdens.

Why This Guide Is Important

The first 30 to 90 days at home are the most vulnerable period for readmission, complications, and setbacks. Although the discharge day feels like an endpoint, it really marks the start of a delicate recovery phase. This guide helps replicate the structure and support of rehab, adapted for your home, routine, and family environment.

About Sands Point Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation

Sands Point sits comfortably overlooking Manhasset Bay in a resort-style setting. Its clinical team offers rehabilitation, respiratory care, skilled nursing, and therapeutic services with a 1:1 therapy model to support recovery. With a reputation for combining high-end comfort and comprehensive care, Sands Point is known for client-centric attention, clinical excellence, and an environment that emphasizes dignity and well-being. Understanding the services provided at the rehabilitation center helps families prepare for what comes next.

How 7 Day Home Care Coordinates Your Discharge from Sands Point — Step by Step

1. Pre-Discharge Coordination
   We engage with Sands Point’s social work and discharge planning offices early, reviewing medical condition, equipment needs, therapy progress, and the projected discharge schedule.
2. RN-to-RN Handoff
   A registered nurse from our team reviews discharge summaries and rehabilitation goals to anticipate what home support will be needed — whether for orthopedic protocols, stroke recovery, pulmonary precautions, or wound care.
3. Same-Day Nursing Assessment at Home
   Once home, our RN visits to assess home safety, access, mobility challenges, and support needs. This evaluation is critical for tailoring the care plan.
4. Personalized Plan of Care
   The RN creates a detailed and understandable care plan covering daily living support (bathing, toileting, meal prep, mobility), therapy carryover tasks, medication reminders, hydration, and safety measures.
5. Patient–Caregiver Matching
   We select caregivers not just for clinical competence but for personality match, language, cultural understanding, and communication style to foster trust and continuity.
6. Scheduling Continuity
   We strive for consistency — same caregiver, same shift times — and can scale services up or down over time. Options include hourly support, overnight, live-in, or 24-hour coverage.
7. Ongoing RN Supervision
   Our RN continuously monitors client progress, updates care as needs shift, communicates with medical providers, and ensures goals are met.

Home Safety Risk Assessment Guidelines

As part of our service, we provide a written home safety evaluation, flagging areas like:

• Bedroom layout for safe transfer to bathroom
• Medication setup and access to emergency tools

We offer vendor referrals for modifications if needed.

Adjusting Care Hours Over Time

We urge families to let us know when changes are needed. Hours may increase if there is new confusion, near-falls, therapy regression, fatigue, or caregiver strain. Conversely, hours may decrease when the client becomes more stable, meets therapy benchmarks, or no longer needs night supervision. The RN makes all adjustments.
