Two hundred beds make Buffalo Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing a large operation, with 190 of them occupied at the last count. Size brings more residents, more staff, and the programming a big building can carry. Nursing home and skilled nursing care run in Buffalo, New York, with licensed nursing on site and staff working overnight as well as daytime.
Five specialized programs carry names: Cardiac Care, Pain Management, Stroke Care, Orthopedic Care, and Short-Term Rehab. The distinctions are practical ones. Coming back from a cardiac event means a supervised climb back to ordinary activity, which is not something anyone should attempt alone in a living room.
Respite is on the list as well, covering the weeks when one adult child takes over from another who has been carrying it. Nursing time works out to 4 hours and 18 minutes per resident daily.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted: Medicare toward eligible short-term skilled care after a hospital admission, Medicaid for residents who qualify, and private funds paid straight across. Delaware Operations Associates operates the community.
