Central Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits at 116 Martin Luther King East in Syracuse, in a mid-rise building surrounded by elegant landscaping, and what's nice about the place is that the grounds and tall windows give the whole place a bright, open feeling, especially since the ceilings go up 10 feet so there's lots of natural light. Residents can make their rooms feel like home and there's a focus on comfort and safety, with secure, well-lit areas and spaces where folks can relax or socialize, whether that's in the communal living areas or out in the landscaped gardens. The facility houses up to 160 residents and lets people choose spacious floor plans, which help folks feel less crowded and more at ease.
The staff provides skilled nursing care and covers a lot of ground in terms of services, from long-term and short-term rehabilitation, to dementia care, wound care, caregiver support, dietary services, and social help, along with specialized programs like the Bridge Program and Day Away Program in their Adult Day Care offerings. There's physical, occupational, and speech therapy available for those needing to get stronger or recover, and for folks looking at palliative care or transitional care, the recovery support team at Central Park designs plans based on what each person needs, which includes attention to emotional, physical, and spiritual health, because they know all those things matter when you're trying to recover or simply live comfortably.
People can find almost everything they'd look for in a larger community healthcare facility, as Central Park offers services and amenities similar to community hospitals, and even adds fine dining options, regular events, and various activities that bring people together. Employees cover everything from care support to environmental upkeep-people like Dylan Ellsworth take care of keeping everything clean and neat, while Janice Philpot serves as Director of Nursing, leading a team of experienced staff who speak English and treat folks with dignity and respect. Central Park takes safety and health seriously, including plans for anything from medical emergencies to pandemics, and stays dedicated to being a homey, nurturing place for all who need it, whether for a short rehab stay or longer-term care. It's in a handy spot near Syracuse University and several hospitals, so getting to and from the center isn't tough, and major highways are close by. Medicaid is accepted, and services can include home care visits for folks not ready for a full-time stay. Central Park has been serving the Syracuse community and nearby suburbs for over forty years, and people say the center is warm, welcoming, and a good spot if you want somewhere that mixes skilled care with simple comforts.
