Bethany Gardens Skilled Living Center

Bethany Gardens Skilled Living Center sits in Rome, NY, close to the local hospital, with 100 certified beds, and it's been operating since 1973, so it's been around a while, and you can find it in a spot that's got easy access to shopping, restaurants, churches, banks, and medical offices, which many families find helpful. This is a skilled nursing facility, and they offer skilled nursing care 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which means if somebody needs more medical care and has less independence, staff are always there to help out, and they also have a special needs or Alzheimer's unit for those residents who need it. Bethany Gardens specializes in both short-term sub-acute rehabilitation and long-term care, so folks can get anything from a quick recovery stay to ongoing support, and they provide both inpatient and outpatient services. They handle a good deal of rehabilitation work, with therapy available up to 7 days a week-physical, occupational, and speech therapies-plus post-acute medical treatments like IV Therapy, Wound Care, Pain Management, Respiratory Therapy, and Cardiac Therapy, and their staff includes well-trained occupational and physical therapists who make individualized rehab plans for each person. People recovering from orthopedic, neurological, or cardiac problems sometimes come here for intensive short-term therapy, and others rely on the long-term rehabilitation focused on improving everyday skills. The facility is affiliated with the Mayer Family and operates as a for-profit company, with Jonathan Gewirtz listed as managing employee since January 2010. Bethany Gardens reports about 94 residents a day, filling most of their beds, and it has a nurse turnover rate of 42.6%. Nurse staffing is reported at 3.76 hours per resident per day, which relates to how much nursing care each resident gets, and therapy services run up to 7 days a week, more often than at some other places. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has given Bethany Gardens a 4-star quality rating for overall quality, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing. Inspections have turned up deficiencies, a total of 10, with one relating to infections and others on reports like the one from September 11, 2024, where there were deficiencies in Resident Rights, such as not immediately informing residents, families, and doctors about situations affecting the resident, and in Resident Assessment and Care Planning for not doing all the required mental health screenings, plus a deficiency in providing safe dialysis care. Ownership information lists several people or companies with some control or interest in the facility, according to CMS data. Bethany Gardens aims to provide a wide range of skilled nursing and rehabilitation services for seniors who have more complex health needs, and its long presence in Rome, along with therapy seven days a week and its convenient location, are details that some families consider when they're looking at options for care, but it's also good to know about its inspection results and nurse staffing numbers.
