Huntington Living Center sits at 369 East Main Street in Waterloo, NY, with 160 beds set up for skilled nursing and rehabilitation care, and you'll find it has four 40-bed units spread across three floors, including a Special Needs Unit for residents with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia-related issues which helps provide a safe place for those who might wander or get lost easily, and what's also notable is the secure unit for cognitively impaired care which really tries to keep residents protected and supervised, and being part of Finger Lakes Health and a subordinate of the University of Rochester does mean residents get access to many medical specialists if they need extra care, so you also have healthcare staff on duty day and night, including certified nurses, licensed medical practitioners, certified nursing assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, activities staff, and nutritional services to help with all kinds of daily and medical needs and to provide a wide range of services whether it's skilled nursing, rehabilitative therapy, long-term care, or memory care services.
Residents can pick from different living options, like studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or semi-private rooms, all fully furnished with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air-conditioning, telephone, internet, and cable, and you'll also see outdoor courtyards with walking paths, gardens, a gazebo, plants, and flowers-thanks to effort from the Taylor Brown Auxiliary and local volunteers-and there's indoor community areas too, plus patios and a pavilion for family gatherings or activities. Staff are always on hand to help residents move between beds and wheelchairs, manage their medicine, keep an eye on things like insulin levels for diabetes, and serve meals to give everybody more time and convenience.
Huntington Living Center stays busy with daily recreational programs and a monthly calendar built around resident input, and there's even a therapeutic activity program for folks with dementia, depression, or challenging behaviors, plus special programs bringing in local school kids for intergenerational activities. The place helps older adults with personal care, help moving around, 24-hour emergency assistance, medication management, and transportation services, and there's a range of payment options including private pay, social security, veterans benefits, and insurance, as well as various fees for community, respite stays, buy-in, and levels of care depending on each person's needs.
The facility focuses on giving each resident an environment that feels comfortable and supportive, offering help with daily living and health in a way that suits each person, and staff strive to make things safe especially for people who require constant monitoring. Huntington Living Center mainly serves Seneca County, has ties with outstanding acute care if something comes up, and keeps a transparent record of financial activities and grants supporting the facility and nursing workforce programs. The grounds are designed to be pleasant for walking or sitting outdoors, and volunteers help keep the gardens in good shape for everyone to enjoy.
