Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
New residents most often arrive under Medicare (46% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 1 - 2 months.
Located on Hudson Street in Ithaca, New York, Oak Hill Rehabilitation and Nursing Care Center is a nursing home offering skilled nursing alongside hospice and palliative care. The home is operated by Oak Hill Operating Company, LLC, under owner Pearl Litkowski. Families can choose from Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay to cover both short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term nursing care.
The 60-bed community is close to full, with occupancy around 90%. It’s in a highly walkable part of Ithaca, with a Walk Score of 91. It’s a “walker’s paradise,” which means daily errands rarely require a car.
Clinically, the home focuses on rehabilitation and recovery. Cardiac rehabilitation and orthopedic rehabilitation are its programs alongside general short-term rehab and speech therapy. It also supports residents with more complex medical needs through pulmonary care, cardiac care, stroke recovery, and hospice services. Total nursing care averages about 5 hours and 16 minutes per resident daily. A registered nurse contributes roughly 35 minutes of that time, reflecting a fairly high level of hands-on nursing support.
Residents live in semi-private suites. They have access to a spacious courtyard and patio for time outdoors. Amenities on-site include fine dining options, on-site laundry and housekeeping, and Wi-Fi and cable TV throughout the building.
State inspections have most often centered on routine facility upkeep. These include refuse disposal, food sanitation, and infection control, and there were periodic findings tied to quality-of-care documentation. Most issues identified have been addressed within a couple of months, but a smaller number took longer to resolve. Families touring Oak Hill may want to ask staff how these areas are monitored daily.
Oak Hill Rehabilitation and Nursing Care Center is legally operated by Oak Hill Operating Company, LLC (For Profit).
In New York, the Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care performs unannounced onsite inspections to monitor compliance with state and federal healthcare regulations.
