Oswego Hospital Extended Care

Oswego Hospital Extended Care stays open 24 hours and offers care for folks with all sorts of medical needs, including emergency, surgery, maternity, and mental health, and it's a fully equipped 132-bed community hospital so you've got doctors and nurses there all times of the day or night if you need them. The place has skilled nursing services and takes care of seniors who need help around the clock, and there's also short-term respite care if caregivers need a break, and those who need physical, occupational, or speech therapy get that too, with rehabilitation plans made by experienced therapists. There's a focus on personal care and recovery, with the Center for Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine and the Mental Health & Wellness Program, which is among the top 60 in the country, and you get a wide range of specialist services with doctors like Dr. Mary Abdulky in Rheumatology and Dr. Jamal Ahmed in Cardiology, and the hospital has clinics such as the Lumps & Bumps Clinic along with primary and specialty care; they help with chronic conditions and post-surgery recovery. You'll find support groups like the Weight Loss & Bariatric Surgery Support Group, Diabetes Support Group, and Grief Support Groups, which can help community members cope and learn. The place has earned national recognition as a Comprehensive Center with Obesity Medicine Qualification Center and uses the da Vinci Robotic-Assisted Surgery System for certain procedures, and folks dealing with cancer get focused services. Oswego Hospital Extended Care doesn't have any recent Healthgrades awards, but has clear safety records and cleanliness scores that stand out, and it's known for good communication when it comes to medicines and discharge information, even though its overall patient experience rating hangs at 62%, which is about 4% lower than the national average-including measures like nurse and doctor communication, room cleanliness, and quietness at night being rated highly by patients. For urgent or emergency needs, patients use the emergency department, ICU, and urgent care services either onsite or at the Central Square Medical Center and Fulton Medical Center, both of which have lab, imaging, and after-hours treatment, and folks in need of transport can rely on the Student Association Volunteer Ambulance Corps. The hospital's part of Oswego Health, a non-profit that includes other care programs, like the Manor at Seneca Hill for 24-hour skilled nursing and Springside at Seneca Hill for independent retirement living, and their administrative and medical staff work to make the care process as smooth as possible, with amenities such as waiting rooms and a welcoming environment. The main hospital is at 110 W 6th St, Oswego, NY, and offers services in everything from family medicine and cardiology to surgery and behavioral health, always backed by experienced doctors and specialists, and though the hospital doesn't handle things like contraception or annual gynecological appointments-they direct to OCO Reproductive Health-it remains a full community resource for acute hospital and senior living care for Oswego and the surrounding area.
