Fishkill Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing is a for-profit facility with 160 certified beds, usually serving about 150 residents each day, that focuses on skilled nursing, subacute care, long-term care, memory care, and home care. The facility's rooms are simple, described as being similar to a 1-star motel, but they've got air conditioning, wheelchair accessible features, onsite parking, and amenities aimed at resident comfort and well-being. Fishkill Center belongs to the Sapphire Care Group and has its own trained wound care and physical therapy teams, as well as programs for residents recovering from dementia and COVID.
While the Center says it's committed to high standards of care and offers infection control programs, state inspections have reported 28 deficiencies, including three related to infections, and findings about incomplete resident care plans and gaps in COVID-19 education and record-keeping. The CMS overall rating is two stars, and nurse staffing is measured at 3.46 hours per resident per day, which is below the state average. The nurse turnover rate is 34.8%, lower than the New York state average. Staff receive recognition through the FISHKILL PROPS program for exceptional service, with PROPS Cards often given by residents, families, and coworkers.
Fishkill Center provides health inspections, and its quality measures recently received a five-star rating, but the staff rating stands at one star. The facility supports residents who need wound and physical therapy, offers different tools for accessibility like text resizing and color adjustments, and has a form for concerns or inquiries. People can schedule tours if they want to visit. Fishkill Center aims for a warm, welcoming environment and emphasizes quality of life, but it has a record of deficiencies that potential residents and families may want to consider carefully.
