Vestal Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is a 180-bed for-profit skilled nursing facility in Vestal, Broome County, part of Upstate Services Group operating 17 facilities. It provides short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, memory care for dementia and Alzheimer’s, respite and hospice services. Medicare and Medicaid certified with 85 percent occupancy averaging 153 residents, it emphasizes clean, hotel-like environment with activity programming and therapeutic support.
Vestal Park received a two-star overall CMS rating, below state and national averages. U.S. News designated both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care as “As Expected.” Quality measures rating is four stars, representing strong clinical outcomes, while staffing levels were identified as primary weakness by CMS. Total nursing hours average 3.75 per resident daily, slightly below national average of 3.90. A March 2023 state inspection documented infection-control deficiencies subsequently addressed through formal corrective action. Recent records document 79 complaints and 36 citations.
Inspection records identified deficiencies in bed-rail safety assessment, activities of daily living support provision, resident fund management and discharge notification, timely abuse and neglect reporting, institutional response protocols for alleged violations, and range-of-motion and mobility care maintenance. These findings indicate documentation gaps, governance shortfalls, and safety protocol implementation concerns.
Vestal Park provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, memory care programming, respite services, and hospice care. Recreational programming and therapeutic activities support resident engagement. Licensed nursing coordinates medication management. Hospital affiliation integrates medical specialist resources.
Family reviews are consistently positive, describing friendly responsive staff, clean well-maintained facilities, effective therapeutic services, and safe supportive environments. These assessments align with four-star quality measures rating despite documented staffing constraints and compliance gaps.
Vestal Park suits families seeking skilled rehabilitation and long-term care. But, diligence is needed in verifying the correct facility address, requesting detailed documentation of the 2023 infection-control findings and corrective actions implemented, understanding the resolution status of the seven identified inspection deficiencies, confirming contemporary staffing adequacy relative to the two-star staffing rating, assessing whether four-star quality measures and consistent family satisfaction support placement despite the overall two-star designation, and conducting multiple unannounced visits to independently evaluate care quality and compliance.
Staffing hours breakdown
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.
| 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.
| 33m per day | ▼ 21% 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.
| 1h 4m per day | ▲ 39% 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 38m per day | ▲ 21% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 25m 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.
| 2m per day | ▼ 71% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 12m per day | ▼ 57% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
