Nursing Home Communities in Cortland, NY

"We are retiring from a ranch life in Colorado and we toured this community. This place is terrific and very nice. The whole place is just too way expensive for us. It costs about $6000 a month to live there. Also in Ithaca, they have a lot of expensive living there because their taxes are very high. Also one drawback we had with The Kendall is that they started a while ago and their population has aged and we are with all the others living longer. "

"My mother stayed at Oak Hill Manor Nursing Home. I liked the atmosphere in the facility because it felt like home. The staff were determined to give the right care to the residents. I haven't tried the food but my mom liked it. "

"I had a family member stay for rehab. The rehab was excellent and the staff was very caring. "

"Great rehab stay "

"I chose this facility because it caters to the mentally ill. It's an excellent community and the staff is great. They have a good set of rules and regulations. The place is clean and it's a very caring community. My brother's room is comfortable. Well, he has good days and bad days but it's the same anywhere he is. I like it because the place is like a house. They have a kitchen there and they eat together. The food is nice and healthy as they try not to do a lot of sugar in it. Excellent provider, would surely recommend this to others. "

"We chose Iroquois because it seemed to be top notch compared to the others.....It was the best decision we could have ever made. Dad stayed at Iroquois after his heart condition and mom was there after her surgery. The entire staff, including the nurse's assistants cared for my parents as if they were one of their family members. The dietary staff, social workers and therapy departments are equally as fantastic. Dad had an exceptionally complex medication schedule, and the staff did a great job managing him medically. Although mom & dad didn't participate in all of the activities they offer, their resident activities schedule is second to none. Walking into the main entrance feels like walking into a new hotel and not a nursing home. The lobby, reception and gift shop area is bright and beautiful. We always say that Iroquois doesn't feel like a nursing home, it feels like a community! Our local community is truly blessed to have such a voluntary facility with such caring staff. "

"My mother was at Cunningham. She received a lot of loving attention and good medical care. She liked the food. Her room was clean, and she enjoyed the activities. She was very happy there. "

"Staff was kind and friendly Rehab was able to get me back home quickly"

"We chose Central Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center for my mom. It's relatively small. There's four floors, but they really only have three that are for residents. The second floor is reserved for admissions and analysis work, rehab basically. The ratio of staff to residents was good, and when I reviewed the scoring by Medicare it received very high scores in relation to care for long-term patients. So far, she's had no complaints about the food. They also have alternatives, so if the resident is not pleased with what they're offering for a particular meal, they have alternatives. My mom's happy with that because there were a couple of things that she didn't like, and they were able to come up with a substitute. I actually observed a couple of meals that my mom has really enjoyed. One in particular was a tuna noodle casserole that was very reminiscent of what she used to make for us when we were growing up, and so she hadn't had that in a long time. So she was very pleased. Her room is semi-private. It comes with a bed, a dresser, and a chair. They have their own closets and there's one bathroom for the two residents that are in the room. It's pretty spacious. They encourage you to customize your space. So we have been bringing stuff in for my mom that reminds her of home, it's very personal, and she has on the wall pictures and stuff that make her happy. Most of the stuff that they have been offering, they do art classes and so forth, she's been getting involved in, but she hasn't really done an awful lot. She's just been staying in her room trying to get acclimated."

"I was a short term rehab resident and was very pleased with both the care I received on the floor and from the physical and occupational therapists. Everyone was kind and caring as well as being skilled at their jobs. My mother-in-law and a good friend have lived on long term resident floors and, as far as I can tell, received similar treatment. The food is good and they try to provide alternatives to keep you happy and well fed. This is the place I would want to go if it ever again becomes necessary"
