    Caring staff and successful rehab

    I placed my loved one here and have been very pleased - staff are caring and professional, CNAs and nurses attentive, and the rehab team supported a successful recovery. Meals are good, the dietician is helpful with personalized options, and daily activities (including church services and bingo) keep residents engaged. Rooms are clean, bright and comfortable with laundry service and in-room TVs; I feel confident recommending this facility.

    Summary of reviews

    The collected reviews describe a facility with a distinct split between strong clinical/rehabilitative capability and a set of operational weaknesses that families should weigh. Strengths that recur include an effective rehab program (physical and occupational therapy), many compassionate nursing assistants and therapists, and generally pleasant resident rooms with natural light. Several commenters praised successful short-term recoveries, attentive therapy staff, a proactive social work team, and in-room conveniences such as TVs and laundry service. Activity programming is frequently characterized as energetic and engaging, with popular offerings like bingo and arts-and-crafts and an appealing, sunny dining area in the communal spaces.

    At the same time, reviewers identified consistent operational concerns. Medication management and documentation appear inconsistent across shifts; families described dosing and timing errors and gaps in communication about medication changes. Staffing levels and workload were cited as ongoing problems that affect responsiveness and timeliness of care. Related safety issues include equipment and transfer practices that some families felt were inadequate, and instances of inconsistent hospice and end-of-life coordination were described. Communication with families and with outside providers (for example, during hospital transfers) was uneven, which contributes to anxiety around clinical decision-making.

    Dining and housekeeping present a mixed picture. The facility offers dietitian support and personalized menu options for some residents, and some reviewers found meals appetizing and adaptable to dietary needs. Others noted limited menu variety, inconsistent meal temperature/quality, and insufficient special-diet menu visibility. Cleanliness and pest-control were areas of concern in parts of the building: while some units and rooms were described as clean and well-maintained, other areas were characterized by sanitation issues and pest-control shortcomings. Several reviewers also described aging common areas, broken fixtures, and sections of the building that would benefit from renovation.

    Management and organizational culture emerged as a recurring theme. Families described inconsistent messaging from leadership, billing and administrative frustrations, and signs of low staff morale tied to limited incentives or overtime without compensation. These systemic factors appear to contribute to variability in day-to-day resident experience: compassionate and skilled individual staff members often try to compensate, but structural problems โ€” staffing, maintenance, communication, and documentation โ€” result in uneven care quality.

    For prospective residents and families: consider the facilityโ€™s strong rehabilitation services and the many staff members who provide attentive, person-centered care, while also evaluating operational areas that may affect safety, hygiene, and continuity of care. When touring or making placement decisions, ask for specifics about medication-administration protocols, staffing ratios and turnover, pest-control and housekeeping schedules, special-diet menu offerings, roommate-placement procedures, and recent maintenance or renovation plans. Request examples of family communication practices around clinical changes and hospital transfers, and seek written clarification on billing and financial policies before committing.

    About The Hurlbut

    The Hurlbut sits about 2.6 miles outside of Henrietta, New York, and it's been around since 1969 when Robert H. Hurlbut started it in honor of his parents, with his children now representing the family's third generation of care. This place has 160 certified beds and cares for about 113 residents each day. The Hurlbut is part of the larger Hurlbut Care group, which is family owned and operates 11 locations, so staff often draw from over 50 years of experience. The nursing home is managed by Mark Curletta since July 2021 and it's owned by Robert Hurlbut. It runs as a for-profit business. Residents get 24-hour skilled nursing care, and you'll see staff trained in geriatric care, some who've seen a nurse turnover rate of 46.3%, with an average of 3.80 nurse hours per resident per day. The facility provides post-acute nursing and rehabilitation services every day, including specialized therapies like physical, occupational, and speech, and offers care for people needing wound care, IV therapy, pain management, or help with tubes and feeding. Short-term rehab and long-term care are available here, and there are agreements with area hospitals for extra support. Staff also include social workers and a dedicated care team of over 1,400 people across the organization. Amenities include private and semi-private rooms, nurse-call systems in bedrooms and bathrooms, cable TV and telephone in rooms, beauty and barber shop services, and full housekeeping and laundry. Activities aim to fill the days with things like sing-alongs, picnics in enclosed courtyards, outings to restaurants or concerts, pet therapy, art therapy, and religious services with local clergy. The space is wheelchair-accessible, and outings use a wheelchair-accessible bus. The Hurlbut holds an overall 2-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and holds an average rating of 7.2 out of 10, placing it 37th in the city. Standard inspections have found 13 deficiencies, with three of them related to infection control, and past violations recorded. There's a quality assessment and assurance group that meets at least every quarter to check on care, which includes making sure policies prevent abuse, neglect, and theft, and that the place keeps up with federal, state, and local rules. Residents and families can visit for scheduled tours to meet the staff, see the rooms, and learn about daily life.
