Our read on Sands Point Center For Health And Rehabilitation

Sands Point runs 180 beds in Port Washington under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The turnover picture is genuinely better than most: 26.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers are more likely to stick around. On inspections, 16 deficiencies are on record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score 5/5, staffing and inspections both 3/5, a home that's steady on care outcomes but merely average on the floor and in survey history.
