My Mother is at the facility in FIshkill now.
It's very clean.
The food is horrible.
i find it ridiculous that there is not a direct telephone # to the nurses station on the rehab floors ,24/7. My mother has dementia and called me confused about her medicines. I could not reach anyone to ask a questions in the early evening.
I can not reach the nurse practitioner to find out what blood theists are being ordered and why.
There hasn't been hot water in 3 days. I'm sure that this is not typical but I can't understand how this can happen. As a result, there weren't hot meals for 2 days.
I visit 2x/day.
I had to remind staff about the showering schedule. (2x/wk only)
After one week in the facility, and at my urging, there will be a team meeting to discuss my Mother's care.
This is my 1st experience at a skilled nursing facility. And I pray it's my Mother's last.

My 88 year old mother was admitted to Wingate for what was expected to be short-term in-patient physical therapy. Physical therapy was six days a week. My mother's health declined rapidly from a serious pre-diagnosed heart condition and Wingate's care changed to that of hospice care. I found the nurses' care during approximately three weeks of hospice to be excellent and caring. The staff meets with family to decide upon care plans. Medicines were administered when necessary. A physician monitors patients' medical issues. My mother was happy with the food. Rooms were nicely heated. Every time we visited my mother, which was every day during the hospice period, we noticed that Wingate did not have the odor associated with many assisted living facilities. We got to know many members of the staff. Wingate organizes some activities for the residents to occupy at least part of their days, and singers from a local school came to the facility in mid-December to sing Christmas songs. The building is clean, functional, and bright, Outdoor parking is never a problem. The facility is well located, not far from I-84 and Route 9. I think the facility is well run. We are glad my mother had Wingate's 24-hour care during her final days.

Wingate at Dutchess is gorgeous. It felt like you were walking into a resort. It's not what you expect a nursing home to look like at all. But they didn't have a bed available.

It is like a 5-star hotel, the place was gorgeous. Wingate Nursing Home doesn't look like a home. They're very good and it's better than down here. They have white tablecloths and crystals on the tables when they eat, the rooms were very airy, the staff is very, very polite. They make my mom feel good. All in all it's a great place.

The front desk staff at Wingate is always so friendly and welcoming each time I visit. As a recent newlywed they were all excited to see me and my husband as my grandfather had talked to them so much about it. The food staff and nurses are friendly enough, no one is downright rude, but they don't go out of their way to be extra friendly. The facility itself is on a nice piece of land and is always clean. I have yet to go there and see the place in disarray. My grandfather is there at Wingate seven days a week to visit my grandma, and never has had a bad thing to say about the place. My grandmother is on a feeding tube and isn't coherent, so we can't ask her what she thinks of her treatment, but we are happy with how she is treated while we are there.

The facility of Wingate is a terrible filthy place. The staff neglects the patients and lets them sit in there own excrement for days at a time before cleaning them up or even checking on them. The patients have bed sores and bruises and several lawsuits pending against the facility. The food is poorly prepared and tasteless. Patients are often left unattended even if they are a fall risk and are left to take themselves to the restroom or to a different room and if they fall they are placed back into their beds and told not to leave. Items of personal value are often "misplaced" or taken from a patient and the attitude of the staff and administration is that their items are not needed by each individual patient because they are in a center and do not need them. I would definitely not allow anyone in my family or any of my friends to go to facility like this one at all!
