Nathan Littauer Hospital Nursing Home

Nathan Littauer Hospital Nursing Home sits on the hospital campus in Gloversville, New York, and offers care for up to 84 men and women who need nursing help for either a short stay after an illness or surgery, or more long-term support, and the place does feel part of a bigger hospital where people come and go for all sorts of health reasons, since the nursing home shares a campus and staff with the Nathan Littauer Hospital and can draw on doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentists, and audiologists, as well as a Medical Director over the nursing home part. Residents get skilled nursing, meals matched to their health needs, help with medicines, and access to all kinds of medical specialties, such as cardiology, neurology, urology, podiatry, rehabilitation medicine, and more, with special care when someone needs help breathing, needs ongoing infusions, or needs rehabilitative therapy after surgery or illness, and there's a laboratory and a diagnostic imaging center right there for quick testing without having to leave the building. The nursing home is set up with both semi-private and private rooms (last listed at $405 and $430 per day, as of 2023), and it has patient security and safety systems in place, visiting guidelines for families, and policies for bringing in outside food or accepting gifts, all explained in their brochures and applications. Staff are recognized for their care, like the DAISY Award for nurses, and they follow a non-discrimination policy for all residents regardless of background. Nathan Littauer Hospital Nursing Home has support groups, education classes, recreation activities, and maintains a focus on both the physical and emotional health of people living there, helping folks with both medical and day-to-day needs without having to leave the campus. The home is licensed by New York State, accredited by DNV Healthcare and The Joint Commission, and it's part of networks like the Adirondack Rural Health Network and United Laboratory Network, which means doctors and specialists stay connected and up to date with the best ways to help their residents, and if an emergency does come up, the hospital emergency room is right there on the same grounds, so people don't have to travel far for urgent care or special testing, and if a resident or their family ever has a concern, they can use the Ombudsman Program to help resolve it.
