Cortland Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits right on Clinton Avenue in Cortland, New York, over in the Finger Lakes district, and it's a skilled nursing facility that has 120 certified beds, hosting an average of 107 residents each day, and they run as a for-profit partnership connected to the Upstate Services Group with Efraim Steif managing since August 2017. The place is set up with three main care units, each having 40 beds: there's a Short-Term Rehabilitation unit, a Long-Term Care unit, and a Memory Care unit, so you get folks staying for rehab after surgery or illness, others needing long-term help, and some living with memory problems like dementia. The center offers a range of rehab and nursing services, including physical therapy with licensed therapists such as Ridham Patel, and they also cover occupational and speech therapy, IV therapy, and activities meant to keep people engaged. They've got board-certified specialists like Kristina Clark, DPT, GCS, and employ certified nursing assistants and aides like Rachel Brown and Justice Mainville, all working under Director Jeffrey D Amidon, M.D. and with daily clinical testing services including COVID-19 antigen and glucose checks.
The staffing levels show about 3.45 nurse hours per resident each day, but they do have a high nurse turnover rate of 62.6%, pointing to staff changes happening often, which is something to keep in mind when considering continuity of care. Inspections report that they've had 19 total deficiencies, with two tied to infection issues and others including a resident rights citation about keeping the place safe, clean, and homelike (F0584), and a deficiency related to pressure ulcer care (F0686). There have been both regular inspections and extra checks for complaints and infection control, so you know the place does get monitored. They say they aim for a home-like atmosphere and good satisfaction, but the inspection records do show some room for improvement particularly around cleanliness and medical care. As a privately held company, they've chosen a WAIVER-type certification and the facility has unique identifiers such as CLIA number 33D0712609, UID M858-0000, and Site ID 0000, with primary contact named Rebekah Bray. The facility does offer basic amenities and clinical services intended to support rehabilitation and overall daily care.
