Overview of Massena Rehabilitation & Nursing Center

At 89 Grove Street in Massena, Massena Rehabilitation and Nursing Center operates a 160-bed skilled nursing facility owned by MARNC Operating, LLC. The for-profit operator, affiliated with Personal Healthcare Management, serves Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries at 90% occupancy. Family council participation and automatic sprinkler systems are confirmed infrastructure elements.

Overall performance and health inspection both score 1 star; staffing and quality measures each score 2 stars. All ratings fall below benchmarks.

Daily nursing totals 3.18 hours/resident against the standard of 3.6 hours.

Licensed nursing hours at 0.9/day fall materially short of the national benchmark of 1.4 hours. Registered nurses work 34 minutes daily (19% below state); licensed practical nurses, 27 minutes (41% below state). Certified nursing aides provide 2 hours 12 minutes/resident (in line with state).

Weekend registered nurse presence drops to 21 minutes; 25% below the average. Nurse staff turnover reaches 69.8%, far exceeding the average of 40.6%.

All nine inspections since 2017 generated citations; a 100% citation rate versus the average of 44%. Fifty-six citations appear in the cumulative record (331% above average).

The August 15, 2025 complaint-triggered survey documented 65 citations and 41 deficiencies, surpassing averages substantially. Violations encompassed bedrails, behavioral health service adequacy, food procurement and safety, infection control protocols, resident rights, and multiple safety systems.

Prior inspections revealed recurring themes: quality of care deficits, nutrition and hydration lapses, and documentation failures in reporting to national health surveillance networks.

Two enforcement actions are recorded (June 2023 and June 2017). Complaint filings total 235 (236% above state per year), representing 1.82/occupied bed; 264% above state density. The composite inspection score of 54 out of 100 (F) ranks substantially below the average of 74 (C).

Only 42.2% of short-stay residents meet expected functional improvement at discharge (21% worse than state); 43.2% achieve return to home or community (15% worse). Emergency department visits among short-stay residents total 19.6%; more than double the state rate of 9.7%.

Long-stay residents encounter emergency visits at 5.61/1,000 resident-days, exceeding the baseline by 316%. Four concurrent lawsuits remain active (scheduled June 1, 2026).

On-site services span clinical laboratory, dental, dietary, housekeeping, mental health, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physician oversight, podiatry, physical therapy, social work, speech pathology, and therapeutic activities.

Massena Hospital proximity is five minutes by car.

Massena Rehabilitation and Nursing Center carries substantial documented risks: pervasive regulatory deficiency patterns, two formal enforcement actions, complaint volume 235% above state averages, poor short-stay clinical outcomes, and staff turnover of nearly 70%.

Families must obtain the complete August 2025 inspection report, request corrective action documentation, verify staffing ratios and employment stability, and understand the four pending lawsuits.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.

Hours per resident per day — compared to New York state averages

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 34m per day ▼ 19% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 27m per day ▼ 41% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 12m per day ■ Avg State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 2h 36m per day ▼ 18% State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 6m per day ▼ 14% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 21m per day ▼ 25% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day
