Union Plaza Care Center sits in Flushing, Queens, serving one of the largest areas of Asian Americans in New York City, New York. Rehabilitation programs are designed using a multidisciplinary approach designed to factor a patient’s cognitive and physical needs and ensure a seamless and safe discharge to transition home. This transition back home includes social service team consultations with the patient and their families to schedule in-home services as necessary.
Union Plaza is extremely sensitive to the diverse cultural needs of this community and is very much aligned with local religious, civic and cultural organizations. Of the 328 employees, 100 of them, or 30.48% are fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, Fujianese, Vietnamese or Korean which allows for ease of communication with residents and their families.
