Overview of Tupper Lake Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation

Sixty beds, nearly six decades in the same spot in Tupper Lake, New York. That’s the baseline for Tupper Lake Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, a nonprofit skilled nursing facility in Franklin County, in the Adirondack region, that’s been operating since 1967. It’s Medicare and Medicaid certified, and it sits in a neighborhood with a Walk Score of 58, so some errands are walkable and others aren’t.

Right now the place is running at 88 percent occupancy, 53 of 60 beds filled. Nursing staff put in an average of four hours and thirty-two minutes of total care per resident every day. That’s the number that actually tells you something about day-to-day coverage, more than a bed count ever could.

The clinical roster here is broad for a facility this size: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, dental care, and psychiatry, all with physician oversight built into the skilled nursing care. On the softer side, there’s beauty and barber service on-site, plus nutrition and exercise work and wellness planning, the kind of stuff that fills the space between clinical appointments.

When New York’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care comes through for its inspections, the categories they look at match what regulators check everywhere: medication management, infection control, staffing credentials, environmental safety, documentation, dietary service, and resident rights. What you’re left with is a small, rural nursing home that’s been part of Tupper Lake for a long time, with a clinical bench that’s more extensive than you’d expect for 60 beds, and a nursing care hour figure that’s worth weighing against whatever else is on your shortlist.

2 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Registered Nurse (RN) is +94% 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.	1h 22m per day	▲ 94% 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.	25m per day	▼ 46% 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 47m per day	▲ 28% 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.	3h 12m per day	■ Avg 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.	6m per day	▼ 15% 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.	47m per day	▲ 70% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day
