Corning Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing

Corning Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing sits at 205 E 1st St. and does a good job giving care to people who need extra help, whether you need long-term support or you're just there to recover after an illness or injury, and they've got a CMS Five Star Rating, which means you can expect good standards throughout the place, although you still want to check for yourself if it's right for you. The place has round-the-clock nursing and skilled care, handling things like Cardiac Care, Dementia Care, Dialysis Care, Orthopedic Care, Pulmonary Care, Wound Care, hospice support, stroke recovery, HIV/AIDS Care, COVID-19 Care, and even more complex cases like ventilator and TBI/Neurobehavioral needs, so people with tough health issues usually do get a fair amount of specialized attention here. They've got the GO Rehab Program and the RehabStrong™ initiative, both focused on helping each resident get an individualized rehab plan, and their therapists use up-to-date technology for that; all that work aims to help folks either get strong enough to go back home or stay as comfortable as possible if they have to be there awhile. There's also support for assisted living, home health care, adult day care, short-term stays, and urgent care, and they cover both long-term and short-term options, which can be important if you're sorting out insurance or planning ahead. Every resident gets a care plan matched to their background, strengths, and wishes, and staff say they keep more than one caregiver for each resident, so there's constant hands-on help, whether that's with therapy or just daily routines like eating and bathing. The center offers nutrition programs, daily meals, and room features such as complimentary Wi-Fi, TV service, and bedside phones, and there are plenty of common areas for activities and social time, which a lot of families appreciate when they want their loved ones to stay active and connected. The staff-nurses, therapists, and managers-are experienced with high-acuity cases and use new electronic medical record systems for tracking everyone's needs, which helps with communication between care parties and the family. Amenities are comfortable, rooms are modern, and activities are planned each day, mixing in both social and educational events, and both the media gallery and events calendar help families keep up with what's going on. The facility looks out for wellness with group exercises and wellness programs, too. Strict COVID-19 protocols are in place for visitors, including testing and PPE rules, with exceptions for special care and emergencies, keeping residents as safe as possible while allowing some family contact. Corning Center belongs to the Centers Health Care network, which provides extra resources and guidance, especially for people needing information on long-term care, insurance, and health planning. There's a focus on dignity, kindness, and respect in every part of life here, and while every place has its challenges, folks who've reviewed it usually mention solid care and a community feel, reflected in a 3.9 out of 5 rating based on 35 reviews.
