Schuyler Hospital & Long Term Care Unit sits on a large, over 50-acre campus that overlooks Seneca Lake, where you can find lots of different medical services all in one place, so folks from Schuyler County and nearby areas come here for care and support. The hospital has a 25-bed acute care facility with critical access hospital status and provides 24-hour emergency services, so people can get help day or night, and there's also a 120-bed skilled nursing facility right there, called Seneca View Skilled Nursing Facility, which offers long-term nursing care along with lots of help for daily needs. Sometimes the Long Term Care Unit closes parts of the facility for renovations or due to short staffing, but in 2023, the unit still provided 27,914 days of care to residents who need extra support. Staying focused on the community, Schuyler Hospital recorded 24,102 doctor visits and handled 199,738 outpatient procedures last year, even while absorbing over $380,000 in bad debt since some people can't pay and offering $212,000 in charity care to folks in need, following their charity care policy.
You'll find a range of rehabilitation services here, including physical therapy, which is located at 220 Steuben Street in Montour Falls and run by a team with licensed therapists like Carrie Youmans, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS. The hospital keeps a team of doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and many other staff to care for patients. There's a whole list of medical services, from imaging, surgery, heart and vascular care, and cancer services to dermatology, wound care, and women's health, so people have access to just about anything they might need as they age or face health troubles. For people who need more specialized help, there are units for intensive and cardiac care, a spine center, and short-term rehab, and if someone needs to go to a higher level of care, the hospital works with Cayuga Medical Center for smooth transfers. Seneca View and The Garden Cafe are on the campus, plus a gift shop and visiting options so family can stop in.
There's a strong focus on mental health, behavioral services, occupational medicine, sleep, and pain management for people facing all sorts of challenges, and they have a patient portal called MyChart, which makes it easier for families to stay up to date or request records, along with full patient rights in place. Outpatient services include Convenient Care, Immediate Care, Urgent Care, Virtual Care, and wellness programs, and since they're part of Cayuga Health System, people get help that's made to fit the community. The facility uses grant funding for improvements and works hard to keep up with flexible staffing and programs that follow state laws. They make sure residents in the Long Term Care Unit have amenities and features designed for daily living needs, always trying to provide considerate and steady care, even when things get busy.
