It provides assisted living and skilled nursing with 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, medication management, therapy services, and meal service three times daily.

The New York State Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care inspection record documents persistent compliance gaps across multiple care domains.

The June 12, 2025, complaint investigation identified 11 deficiencies spanning general provisions (one), resident services (two), food service (two), personnel (two), environmental standards (three), and admission and retention standards (one). The May 30, 2024, relicensure inspection revealed 19 deficiencies including general requirements, admission standards, resident protections, resident services (two), food service (two), environmental standards (eight), disaster and emergency planning (three), medication management, and structural/environmental standards. Earlier complaint investigations on February 26, 2025, found three deficiencies for resident services and environmental standards; October 1, 2024, found one for resident services.

Deficiency rates average 7.6 per year, 49% worse than the New York average of 5.1 per year. Recurring violation categories include environmental standards (cited in 6 of 8 inspections), resident services (5 inspections), food service (3 inspections), general requirements/provisions (2 inspections), and personnel (2 inspections). All violations resulted in approved plans of correction.

Complaint investigations on December 15, 2023, January 18, 2023, September 1, 2022, and September 4, 2021, identified isolated deficiencies; January 11, 2023, resulted in zero violations. The facility reported 5 complaints, equating to 6.3 per 100 occupied beds, below the New York average of 49.9. No enforcement actions were recorded.

The facility provides skilled nursing, 24-hour staffing, nursing services, medication management, case management, transportation coordination to medical appointments, physical and occupational therapy, lab and pharmacy services, and special dietary accommodation. Meals are served three times daily in two newly remodeled dining rooms. Amenities include recreation kitchen, screened porch, outdoor patio, entertainment room, library, laundry facilities, beautician services, call systems in rooms and bathrooms, religious services, and daily activities including crafts, cooking, and games.

The concentrated deficiencies in environmental standards and food service spanning nearly five years of inspections indicate systemic issues that have persisted despite approved correction plans.

Families should request detailed documentation of corrective action implementation status, with focus on environmental safety, resident services, food services, personnel credentialing, and disaster planning.
