Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

What Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center does

Gurwin Healthcare System, Inc. is a not-for-profit Life Plan Community (Continuing Care Retirement Community / CCRC) based on a 36-acre Commack, Long Island campus, founded in 1988 as the first nursing home with a Jewish ambiance in Suffolk County. It operates the full continuum of senior care on and around this campus: a 460-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center (Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center), a 201-apartment assisted living community (Gurwin Jewish ~ Fay J. Lindner Residences, in service since 2001), a resort-style independent living community for adults 62+ (Fountaingate Gardens, opened 2022), and adjacent service lines including adult day health (medical and social models, ~140 participants six days/week), a home care agency, on-site 12-station dialysis operated by Fresenius, a 12-bed Advanced Care Unit, a 28-bed respiratory and ventilator unit with VOCSN 5-in-1 mobile ventilators (a tri-state-area exclusive for long-term adult care as of 2019), a 60-bed memory care unit, a 12-station dialysis center, and an award-winning Immersion Room using immersive virtual experience technology for memory care residents.

The organization expanded in 2020 by acquiring Island Nursing and Rehab Center, a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Holtsville, bringing total skilled nursing capacity to approximately 580 beds across two Long Island campuses. Revenue is generated through subscription/recurring payments from a payor mix spanning Medicaid (long-term skilled nursing and Medical Model Adult Day Health), Medicare (up to 100 days of skilled nursing post hospital discharge), and private pay (Fay J. Lindner assisted living, Fountaingate Gardens independent living, and Social Adult Day Care), supplemented by philanthropic donations through the Gurwin Jewish Healthcare Foundation.

Customer acquisition is referral-led — primarily through discharge planners and physicians at Preferred Provider-partnered health systems (Hospital for Special Surgery, Stony Brook, Northwell Health Huntington, Catholic Health Services) and through direct family inquiries — supported by sustained brand recognition including multiple Newsweek America's Best Nursing Homes designations (2020, 2022, 2023, 2025, 2026), Fortune Magazine's 2018 #1 Best Place to Work in Aging Services, and recurring Best of Long Island awards.
