MVHS Rehabilitation & Nursing Center sits at 1650 Champlin Avenue in New Hartford, NY, and belongs to Mohawk Valley Health System. This facility has a total of 202 beds, with 40 beds dedicated to subacute rehabilitation. Staff here help people recover by offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and they use equipment and special techniques during therapy. A physiatrist-someone trained in physical medicine and rehabilitation-directs each person's treatment, and the whole team tries to help patients grow stronger and more independent as soon as possible. People can work on things like standing, walking, using wheelchairs, and learning to use braces or mobility devices. Occupational therapy targets normal, daily actions, including dressing, moving in bed, and home skills, while speech therapy supports those who need help with language, memory, or swallowing when that's needed.
MVHS Rehabilitation & Nursing Center serves folks needing short-term or long-term care, and both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services are available. There's a dialysis center on site, along with acute inpatient rehabilitation and other nursing care. Emergency, surgical, and laboratory services are present, so residents can get plenty of their care in one place. The Rehab and Nursing Center has support from the Center for Rehabilitation & Continuing Care Services, and shares a campus with St. Luke's Hospital, which makes it possible for people to access even more health services. There's support for planning to return home, with nursing and social work staff starting this discharge work early on, and families can join in on goal setting and therapy decisions.
The facility offers various comforts, including community outings, transportation, a beauty and barber shop, and a chapel for pastoral care. Families and residents can join councils to stay involved. There are private dining rooms, a library, internet access, and private phone and TV for a small fee. Residents can enjoy a secure, renovated environment with security monitoring and reminders of home, though the details of amenities aren't listed out specifically.
