Valley View Center-Nursing Care, sometimes called The Valley View Center For Nursing Care And Rehab, sits on Glenmere Cove Road in Goshen, New York, in Orange County, where the place offers mainly skilled nursing and short-term rehabilitation for folks who are very frail or need help between hospital stays and going home, and it's a county-owned, government facility with 360 certified beds and an average of about 228 residents daily, so it stays pretty busy most of the time, and it's got 3.96 nurse hours per resident per day, with a nurse turnover rate of about 19.2%, and there's both basic medical care and things like COVID-19 tests, flu tests, glucose checks, and other lab screenings, all of which residents and staff can access, and the director is Ion Oltean, M.D., while the center keeps up with updates and notifications as required by the state.
Inspection reports show Valley View Center-Nursing Care had 31 deficiencies, among them 2 infections control issues, and some serious ones involving freedom from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, including failing to report suspected cases quickly, and quality-of-life concerns like not making sure residents keep their ability to perform daily activities unless there's a medical reason, so families might want to consider those details and review inspection results when deciding.
The place tries to help quality of life by organizing programs for all kinds of participation, such as educational, recreational, and social activities, and residents have spaces like a library, media center, and a chapel for services, along with a snack bar and gift shop for something a bit different, plus outdoor areas in a rural setting that give folks a place to get fresh air and enjoy the view, and the staff sets up happy hours, day trips, music, crafts, gardening, even pet programs and inter-generational activities, like card games, bingo, sports, and computer lessons, which means there's something to do for most anyone, no matter their ability.
Staffing and overall quality at Valley View Center-Nursing Care get a 4-star rating from CMS, which focuses on things like staffing and care measures, but the health inspection rating and the documented deficiencies do show room for improvement, and the facility provides care mainly meant for people who need skilled nursing supervision or help with daily living, along with a connected home health agency, CHHA, for extra services if needed, all in a setting that provides basic amenities, nursing care, and rehabilitation, but folks should always check current inspection results or talk with the staff about any concerns before deciding if it's a good fit.
