Nursing Home Communities in Cortland, NY

"I liked the whole complex of Kendal At Ithaca and the idea that you can go there at different stages, starting with living independently, and then assisted living. If you have to go to the hospital, that is there too. They have doctors looking after you, so you don't need to go anywhere else. They showed me various rooms and sizes, activities rooms, and a pool. The staff was very outgoing, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The food is very good. I've tasted it a few times, and I was not disappointed. I know several people who live there already, and they said the food was acceptable. They have a dishwasher and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. They have hallways with benches and little extra rooms. They have musical activities, handcrafts, movies, and outdoor sporting facilities for various sports like tennis."

"I was a resident here at Oak Hill manor, I had a full hip replacement with a major fall at home. The facility was very clean, food was fantastic. I personally met the chef, administrator, and director of nursing and they were all helpful and mindful of my care. I felt everyone there was extremely competent, knowledgeable, and informative. With the COVID19 measures, I felt very confident in their care and comfortable that I was safer inside than outside. The building is "old" or "tired" and is undergoing renovations and major upgrades which were stalled because of COVID19. The administrator was helpful and said "hi" to me everyday, always answered my questions and understood me. Nursing staff were great, fantastic, and well-staffed. I would highly recommend this facility. "

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

"Great rehab stay "

"I have visited Loretto many times. My grandfather lived here for two years and I visited him about 3 or 4 days a week. We had many meals together, holidays, and family get together. They are very good about giving you space to spend time with all your family instead of having to be crammed in a small room. They were great to my grandfather and treated him with a lot of respect. They were great about calling me when anything happened; big and small. I trusted that they would call when something happened. They kept him very clean, did everything he needed, and were very personable. The staff was very friendly, facility was clean, and his needs were always met. Unfortunately his health declined fast and he had to be put in the Veterans hospital where he later passed away. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great place to get care.

"My wife is presently in the dementia unit. This is a locked facility required for late stage dementia patients. It allows residents the freedom to roam and provides activities. The facility is well maintained and Staff is caring and compassionate. I visit my wife twice a week and would highly recommended Iroquois."

"My husband was on the RCU for palliative care. The staff is awesome! They took wonderful care of him. I'm forever grateful. "

"Don’t believe all the negative. I had a positive experience. Everyone was nice to my father. Everything was always answered and handled quickly. I was able to visit anytime and my dad was always taken care of whenever we came to see him."

"My mother is in Central Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. It's fantastic, it's a five-star facility, the staff is very professional, and everyone has been very supportive and very helpful in this transition. She has been as comfortable as she can be, she's been there for a couple of months now, and she's on the first floor now which is in the nursing facility. It's great, everybody has been fantastic, and I really don't have any complaints. She said she likes the food, I'm in constant with the nursing staff, social worker, and the case worker, and she's eating just fine. The food is very substantial, and of good variety. The facilities were very nice, very clean, and very secure. I've been able to see just the lobby, the outside of the building, and through the window I was able to see the inside of the room area, but everything looked very clean, well-kept, and very updated. They have music time, there are individual TVs, but there is also community TV, they have different programs, community things and individual things."

"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"
