Caring for Caregivers
Take a Break, Knowing They're in Good Hands
Our Respite Care program is designed to provide temporary relief to families who are caring for a family member at home.
North Queens Nursing Home has one bed available where a loved one can be admitted, for up to 60 days per year. This service is especially useful when families are taking a vacation, during illness, or at other such times.
