    Clean homey facility attentive staff

    I stayed at this facility and was very pleased - it's clean and homey with a lovely river view, wholesome meals, and engaging activities. The rehab team, nurses and CNAs were attentive and personable (Shannon, Bethany and Alicia stood out), so I felt safe and would choose this place again.

    Summary of reviews

    Reviews present a highly mixed picture of care at the facility, with clear strengths alongside repeated operational weaknesses. The strongest and most consistent positive pattern concerns rehabilitation services: physical and occupational therapy teams are frequently described as effective, and multiple families praised therapists and rehab staff for achieving functional progress. There are also repeated mentions of dedicated CNAs and licensed nurses who provide close, individualized care; in some units housekeeping and the overall environment are described as clean and well maintained, and the courtyard/outdoor areas are noted positively.

    At the same time, a number of systemic concerns recur across reviews. Staffing level variability and chronic understaffing are a dominant theme, and are linked to slow response times to call bells, delays in toileting and bathing assistance, and limited supervision. These staffing constraints appear to contribute to inconsistent clinical monitoring and infection-control practices, and reviewers described situations that raised questions about timeliness of medication administration and coordination with pharmacy and physicians.

    Dining and daily living services show a split pattern: some reviewers praised meals and dining support, while others described inconsistent meal quality, cold meals, and interruptions to meal-service continuity. Housekeeping and sanitation are similarly inconsistent — some units and shifts are described as clean and odor-free, while others were criticized for lapses in routine cleaning and maintenance. Laundry and property management problems (missing items, clothes not returned) were noted often enough to suggest weaknesses in inventory and personal-property controls.

    Family‑staff communication and management responsiveness are additional areas of concern. Several reviewers described unresponsive administration, unclear billing and discharge practices, and difficulties obtaining timely information about care plans and transitions. There are also repeated descriptions of problematic staff conduct and communication tone; however, these are often juxtaposed with accounts of individual staff members and social workers who provided strong advocacy and support.

    Notable patterns are the level of variability by unit and shift, and the polarization of experiences: some families describe high-quality, person-centered care and successful rehabilitative outcomes, while others describe significant operational breakdowns that affected basic services and clinical oversight. A small number of reviews raise serious concerns following resident deaths and infection-control events; these accounts underscore the importance of direct inquiry about clinical oversight, incident reporting, and end-of-life protocols when assessing the facility.

    For prospective residents and families: consider scheduling an extended tour that includes observation of mealtime, medication administration processes, and staffing during shift changes; ask about current staffing ratios, infection-control policies, laundry/property procedures, discharge coordination practices, and how grievances are escalated. Request recent inspection or deficiency information and speak with the rehab team about expected outcomes and timelines. Those steps can help clarify whether the facility's strong rehabilitation capabilities and identified positive staff members align with your expectations for consistent day-to-day care and oversight.

    About Susquehanna Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

    Susquehanna Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits at 282 Riverside Drive in Johnson City, NY, where a team of experienced healthcare professionals goes about providing many different kinds of care, starting with skilled nursing and rehabilitation, which means folks can get help after surgery or an illness or even for longer stays if they're facing ongoing health needs, and there's a strong focus on comfort and compassion all throughout, with doctors like Dr. Lakshmi Sanivarapu handling geriatric medicine and Dr. Asha Gupta, Lynn Chamberlain PA, Diane Felice, Shari Johnson LPN, and Anita Savage heading up allergy, asthma, and immunology care for both adults and kids, offering treatment for conditions like asthma, food allergies, and immune system issues right on site, which a lot of people find convenient. The place has 160 beds so it can handle a good number of residents, and since it's part of the UHS healthcare system-one with over 60 community locations-and affiliated with groups like The McGuire Group, Absolut Care, and Taconic Health Care, there's a big network behind it. The staff works hard to create a homelike feeling for residents, putting an emphasis on dignity, kindness, respect, and treating everyone like family, including with their Legends Caring for Legends team.

    The range of services includes subacute rehabilitation, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, wound and palliative care, ventilator care, a complex medical unit, dialysis, hospice, memory care, cardiac care, orthopedic rehabilitation, pulmonary rehab, and respite care, along with adult day care, so there are a lot of options if you or someone you know needs help for a short or long time. People who want a break from caring for a loved one can use the respite care program. The staff includes nurses, therapists, social workers, and administrative folks, so care is covered from many angles, and there are employment opportunities for those wanting to work in a healthcare setting. It's recognized for progressive programs and holds Bronze and Silver awards from the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program, and they do try to meet federal goals for safety, staffing, and quality, because regulations and continuous improvement are a big deal to them. Amenities set up for folks with more serious healthcare needs include therapy rooms, wound care, and a MyChart system where residents and families can securely check messages or care plans with the team. There's also an activities calendar for residents and a place online to request a tour if you want to see it in person. There's no smoking allowed on the property, and many insurance plans are accepted which helps people manage costs, and information is posted both through their website and a Facebook page. The center is linked up right next to Susquehanna Nursing Home and remains a steady option for both long-term stays or shorter rehabilitation, offering continuous care with a steady focus on treating folks with compassion, creating connections, and looking to give everyone as good a quality of life as the situation allows.
