Queens Boulevard Extended Care Facility has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: highly skilled and dedicated physical and occupational therapy teams and warm, attentive, and professional nursing and cna staff. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Queens Boulevard Extended Care Facility receives high praise for its professional, compassionate, and attentive nursing and therapy staff, with many families noting significant improvements in their loved ones' health. However, there are recurring reports of understaffing leading to delayed call bell responses, inconsistent food quality, and occasional lapses in basic hygiene or laundry services. While many visitors find the facility clean and welcoming, some families suggest that the building's infrastructure is dated and in need of renovation.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff and team were attentive and diligent. Special shout out to Alicia Roberts (social worker) who was so responsive to all our requests and questions and extremely clear in her communications.”
“My mother was transferred to this rehab facility after being at another one, and the difference has been incredible. From the moment she arrived, the staff welcomed her with kindness, patience, and genuine care.”
“The nurses, CNAs, PTs and other staff are very compassionate, kind and helpful. They do the best they can in spite being overworked and sometimes overwhelmed.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
