Because the Care is There, When You Need it Most

Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation (CNR) has developed a specialized program that provides a comprehensive, holistic approach to HIV/AIDS care. Our experienced team of nurses, therapists, social workers, and nutritionists works closely with each patient’s primary care physician to create an individualized plan of treatment that best meets his or her needs and lifestyle.

Our HIV/AIDS Home Care Program is the largest in New York State, allowing CNR patients to have access to a wide range of continuing healthcare services such as rehabilitative care, social work services and respiratory therapy. The AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), in conjunction with Medicaid, allows us to provide home care for individuals who would otherwise have been ineligible.
