Sodus Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits right in Sodus and operates as a smoke-free skilled nursing facility with 130 certified beds, providing both short-term and long-term care for people who don't need tracheostomy or total parenteral nutrition. The place runs 24/7, with care teams focused on nursing, post-acute care, and rehabilitation, offering services like personalized rehab plans and regular nursing support from RNs, LPNs, and CNAs. You'll find amenities to handle residents' mail needs, get outdoor access where residents can feed the birds, and participate in simple activities like bingo, ceramics, and beading, and the 'Hello Cards' Project brings a sense of community. The staff works in full-time, part-time, and per diem roles, and the center hires in an equal opportunity setting.
Testing for things like COVID-19 antigens, influenza, urinalysis, glucose, Protime, RSV, occult blood, and general community screenings is available on-site. The facility sticks to health and safety rules with oversight from the New York State Department of Health, runs emergency plans for things like pandemics, and holds a CMS waiver certificate and CLIA number 33D0901925. The nursing and rehab teams try to offer care that supports both the physical and emotional sides of life, and the staff encourages residents to build relationships and community inside.
This center runs under the management of Ephraim Zagelbaum since 2014, with Personal Healthcare, LLC listed as the affiliate, and ownership split between Ephraim Zagelbaum (50%), Alexander Barth (30%), and Yehudah Walden (20%). Their staffing hours per resident per day come in below state averages at 3.36 hours, and nurse turnover sits higher than average at 62.3%. The center's record shows 27 total deficiencies, including issues regarding food, resident rights, and infection, with no actual harm but some risk of harm to more than minimal levels. Even with these marks, Sodus tries to support residents with dignity and compassion, though its CMS Star rating stands at 1 out of 5 stars, reflecting lower performance in health, staffing, and quality. The site puts an emphasis on building emotional and spiritual well-being and keeps its doors open to almost everyone needing care, though some clinical restrictions do apply.
