Welcome from Our President

Stuart B. Almer, FACHEPresident and Chief Executive Officer Gurwin Healthcare System

Since 1988, Gurwin has been a leader in providing the highest quality care and caring to our Long Island community. As we celebrate our 35th year of service to our community, it’s a good time to reflect on our many accomplishments, and to celebrate the staff members that make Gurwin so special.

What began as a small “mom and pop” nursing home has now grown to include a full continuum of healthcare services under the Gurwin Healthcare System umbrella. The System now operates a Life Plan Community on our Commack, NY campus, which is comprised of Fountaingate Gardens, our new Independent Living Community; Gurwin Assisted Living (Gurwin Jewish~Fay J. Lindner Residences; and Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. In addition, we also offer Adult Day Care programs, Home Care and added Island Nursing and Rehab Center to the System in early 2020. A variety of specialty care services are also offered, including ventilator and respiratory care in a 28-bed Respiratory Care Unit, an Advanced Care Unit for medically complex patients, Memory Care, hospice and palliative care, and on-site dialysis.

At Gurwin, we have always been proud to provide comfort to those who entrust their loved ones to us. Our outstanding staff provides the highest quality care and constantly demonstrates compassion to those we serve. In every program, each staff member is imbued with a commitment to treat the members of our communities as if they were their very own family members, and that feeling of genuine caring is part of what makes Gurwin unique.

As you peruse our website, you will notice many unique and remarkable people, programs and services. Enjoy your visit! If you have questions or need additional information, feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,
