Overview of North Country Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Located on Highland Road in Massena, New York, North Country Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a 140-bed skilled nursing facility operated by Highland Nursing Home, Inc. under owner Blimie Perlstein.

Families can choose from Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay to cover care costs.

The facility has an occupancy rate of 96%. Residents stay an average of 180 days, which is a mix of post-acute rehabilitation patients and those receiving longer-term care.

Nurse aides contribute 2 hours and 21 minutes of daily care, and licensed practical or vocational nurses provide another 27 minutes.

The center also offers on-site dental care, beauty and barber services, and resident and family counseling. A resident council gives residents a voice in daily community matters.

The facility has consistently corrected identified issues within 2 to 3 months of inspection. Families interested in the center can review detailed inspection reports through the state health department.

Standout metric Weekend RN is +64% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) 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.	54m per day	▲ 28% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN 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	▼ 40% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide 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 21m per day	▲ 7% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing 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 56m per day	▼ 8% State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist 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.	0m per day	▼ 100% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN 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.	46m per day	▲ 64% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day
