Nursing Home Communities in Liberty, NY

"Was very pleased by what I saw, Very firendly and professional place. Came after hours and on weekend. "

"Sullivan County Adult Care Center was multi-tiered and had an older type setting. The staff wasn't quite as attentive there as some of the other places. The patients seemed like they needed more attention and care than the other places that I saw. It was more like a nursing home than it was an assisted living place. I didn't like the way it smelled, but they're always very nice, treat you well, and are very informative. I didn't find that they were trying to hide anything. It just didn't seem like the level of care was where I was hoping it would be from what I saw, and the price was very high. The setting was nice overlooking the lake. It wasn't as clinical looking, but it was a nice place. The room was nice and clean, and like a dormitory with a shared common area and kitchenette with two bedrooms on each side of it. "

"Avoid this place if possible. Very understaffed and patients must wait up to 45 minutes to use the bathroom. Staff hide from the request bells and seem to disappear. Many of the CNAs have bad attitudes. The food is not good. Each room has a TV per patient. The floors are not swept everyday. Many activities for patients to participate in."

"I have only really seen the day program and the areas leading to/from it. However, it is always clean and seems well maintained. The staff, particularly in the day program, are friendly and helpful. They seem to respect the adults that are there and are gentle or appropriate with them. Possibly the most telling, no one seems like they have anything to hide or wonder excessively who I may be or why I am there. This is a VERY nice change from the vast majority of places I go to see clients. "

"My uncle is staying at Highland Rehabilitation & Nursing Center. I like them. They're reasonable people. I don't see anybody with an attitude, looking down at the patients, avoiding them, or such things. A lot of food is wasted because some people depend on their disposition that day. They may not eat, or they'll pick out a little bit. The facility is modern but not brand new or in good shape. I did not see messes or evidence of disregard for the facility by those responsible for maintaining it. It's not like every floor shined to a complete mirror finish every day, but it's clean. They potentially have some activities. I saw a crafts activity in a recreation area for a group, but at this point in their lives, they're not participating. We chose Highland Rehabilitation & Nursing Center because they have beds available, they would accept my uncle, and they could address his needs."

"My mom was in rehab at St Josephs Place for a few weeks. They were helpful. I thought they were good and tried to stay on top of things. My mom shared a room with another person. The room is one of our problems. The roommate was lovely. She had the window side, and my mom had the inside bed. It was very squished. She sat in a chair in the corner which was very depressing. It was a nursing home and rehab. They had the patients mixed together, so my mom was in with a lady who was a permanent resident of the nursing home. I think they should separate them. The lady was lovely, but she couldn't hear, and my mother couldn't hear, so they couldn't converse. They both have hearing problems. The curtain was always closed over because the other person was 101 years old, and she slept most of the day. The curtain is always drawn, and my mother was in the dark corner of the room, so it was very depressing. They had bingo, and they have some crafty things. They have some activities for her to go to, but my mother is the uncooperative one. She didn’t want to do to anything. They have a dining room which was kind of dreary. They have a lot of patients who were definitely nursing home patients sitting in wheelchairs who were kind of out of it. My mom's brain is very intact, so she had a lot of problems there. The place was depressing to be in, but they did take good care of her. "
