Hurlbut Care Communities

Hurlbut Care Communities is a family-owned group of skilled nursing and adult homes that's been run by the Hurlbut family for almost 50 years, and the leadership now comes from third-generation members, and, you know, when you look at their reach, they have eleven different facilities spread out through Monroe, Livingston, Seneca, and Wayne counties, including familiar names like Avon Nursing, The Brightonian, Conesus Lake, Hamilton Manor, The Hurlbut, Latta Road East, Latta Road West, Newark Manor, Penfield Place, Seneca Nursing, and Woodside Manor, with a total portfolio that covers about 1,100 beds, and while their administrative staff of about 20 has grown because of all the new rules and reports, they're planning to move into a big old mansion at 740 East Ave in Rochester, which'll give everybody more space to work. People who need support get skilled nursing, short-term rehab, long-term care, and palliative care with admissions open every day, all hours, and the facilities accept patients even at odd times so care starts fast, and folks who need extra help with daily care, like with adult day programs or home care, can get those services through associated offerings like MyAdult DayCare, My Adult Foster Care, My Adult Home Care, My Senior Care Hub, and My Adult Behavior, plus there are care management, tele-health, transportation, food programs like CACFP, and activities to keep folks involved. The Brightonian has 54 beds, and each care site keeps its own name and personality, and even in the rehab wing, called Wesley, there are sometimes dementia patients who might fuss at night, so you should know the real situation, and with about 1,400 caregivers and staff, the teams use a group approach, with nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and others talking together about what each resident needs, and they put effort into communication and care, but with the work of keeping everyone well and safe, you'll also find they have won some recognition, like making the U.S. News & World Report list of top New York nursing homes for long-term care in 2022-2023. They're busy expanding, too, with plans to get more places like the Brightonian, and they have to get lots of approvals from health agencies for that, so there's always a lot going on, and even with all these efforts, their review score is a 3.0 from 2 reviews, which shows there are things to improve, and they don't hide from tough parts like making sure the environment is comfortable for everyone, with special focus on making residents feel at home, heard, and treated with respect for their beliefs and backgrounds, and they offer vaccines and boosters against COVID-19 working with Pharmerica Pharmacy, so folks stay safe. Each site tries to blend comforts-simple things that feel like home-along with a food program, coordinated activities, family engagement, electronic systems for records and visits, and other details that go a bit beyond basic care, and Hurlbut Health Consulting keeps an eye on quality. English is the main language spoken, and services run Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sundays, using a booking system for appointments, and while every place isn't perfect, the long history, the variety of care, and the local roots give Hurlbut Care Communities steady ground, as they focus on providing practical, team-based nursing, relief for families, and day-to-day comforts for seniors.
