Absolut Care of Gasport has 83 beds and works as a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility, found about 10 minutes from Lockport, NY, in a quiet spot close to Becker Farms and Olcott Beach. The place gives both long-term care and short-term rehab after surgery or illness, which means people can stay for longer periods or come just to recover and then go home. You'll see nurse practitioners and a big team of healthcare professionals here day and night, with nurses ready at all times, so help's always available. They handle very specific care, like pediatric and neonatal services, wound and skin care, memory care for dementia, cardiac care, dialysis, bariatric care, oncology, behavior health, and psychiatric services. There's a clear plan for people who need hospice or palliative care, as well as support for more acute things like ventilator therapy, tracheostomy care, and progressive or complex medical cases. Respiratory nursing, occupational health, pediatrics telemetry, and speech therapies are also in place for those who want different levels of care.
The building has an intensive care unit (ICU), a step-down unit, a pediatric operating room, a catheter lab, and an interventional radiology suite, which lets them handle a range of treatments right on the spot, including emergencies, since there's emergency room and urgent care nursing too. Home health services and case management are available, and there's help for labor and delivery, obstetrics, and nurse-midwife services, so moms and newborns can get care if needed, which is rare for most skilled facilities. Telehealth services connect people with medical help over the phone or computer. Wellness, physical, occupational, and speech therapies are offered as part of both inpatient rehab and long-term care. Specialty services like dermatology, flight nursing, blood transfusions, orthopedic and pulmonary rehab, and music therapy are here, and people get help with daily activities if they need it.
Assisted living, adult day health care, respite and short-term care for caregivers who need a break, and memory care for people with dementia fill out the services. Staff work to create personalized plans for each resident and try to keep a respectful, home-like atmosphere. Social and recreational activities happen every day, even on evenings and holidays, so people don't just sit in their rooms. Nutritious meals get served, there's a smoke-free policy, and family members can come see the place for themselves, but video monitoring in resident rooms isn't allowed to keep people's privacy. The place operates as part of the Absolut Care family, is managed by folks who also work with The McGuire Group, Taconic Health Care, and VestraCare, and the leadership tries to keep up with high state and federal standards. They accept residents based on the kind of services required, don't allow discrimination in any care, and focus strongly on compassion, respect, and treating each person as an individual. The admissions process runs through a coordinator, and they keep clear about their federal star ratings as well as care measures, aiming to stay transparent about their services and staffing.
