Alpine Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is an 80-bed for-profit facility in Little Falls, Herkimer County, established in 1977. It provides short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and skilled nursing services. Medicare and Medicaid certified with 95 percent occupancy averaging 76 residents, it maintains family and resident councils.
Alpine Rehabilitation received a two-star overall CMS rating, placing it among the lower 20-40 percent of New York nursing homes. Health inspection rating is two stars; staffing rating is one star; quality measures rating is two stars; RN-only rating is three stars. The most recent health inspection on May 3, 2024 documented 33 deficiencies, 94 complaints, and 33 total citations. The one-star staffing rating reflects inadequate nurse hours per resident and documented turnover challenges. Notably, Alpine’s quality measures rating of two stars significantly underperforms state average of 4.19 and national average of 3.62, indicating gaps in clinical outcomes, resident safety measures, and care quality relative to comparable facilities. Automatic sprinkler systems provide fire safety infrastructure.
Alpine Rehabilitation offers physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, dental care, psychiatry, and skilled nursing services with physician oversight. The facility emphasizes customized rehabilitation planning with measurable outcomes and community engagement for long-term residents. Clinical laboratory and pharmacy services support clinical care.
The facility’s small size (80 beds), below-state-average occupancy trends, weak quality measures, and one-star staffing rating create significant performance concerns. The recent May 2024 inspection with substantial deficiencies and complaints indicates ongoing operational challenges requiring family verification before placement.
Alpine is suited only for families who can directly verify May 2024 deficiency corrections, confirm current staffing meets medical needs, and understand the facility’s below-average quality measures and safety record in the state.
