Salem Hills Rehabilitation and Healthcare sits at 537-539 Route 22 in Purdys, NY, and you'll notice right away how peaceful things feel with the Muscoot Reservoir and those gentle North Salem hills in sight, making it a nice spot if you like tranquil views when you're feeling under the weather or looking for care over the long haul. Now this place mainly focuses on long-term skilled nursing care, but it also gives a lot of help for folks who need short-term or sub-acute rehab services after a stay in the hospital or after surgery, serving as a bridge so people can get back home or into the community when they're ready. The staff has a reputation for being warm and compassionate, which goes a long way, and the personalized care plans really try to match what each person needs instead of expecting everyone to be the same.
Salem Hills has a high occupancy rate, estimated around 98%, so it stays pretty full. It accepts both Medicare and Medicaid. As a for-profit partnership, it works to balance care with business, though it's put up very good marks with the government, getting an A+ for inspection and a Better Than Average rating in U.S. News & World Report, while the overall score from past inspections sits at a B-, which shows some room to improve. It got high-performing marks for its short-stay care, which is good for families looking for reliable short-term rehab.
Even though there's no resident or family council here, the facility offers a range of specific services, including complex medical management, comprehensive wound care, pain management, IV antibiotic therapy, and speech, physical, occupational, respiratory, and cardiac therapies. Extra care comes in areas like dentistry, podiatry, pharmacy, nutritional counseling, recreational therapy, homemaking, transportation, medical transportation, and medication management. The registered staff hours are set up to support these medical and therapeutic services.
Residents can get post-acute care, respite care, and care for tough medical needs. Salem Hills has amenities and luxuries that aim to make recovery more comfortable, so rooms and areas feel somewhat like a hotel rather than a regular care facility. The admission process is flexible with "Anytime Admission," which can work well if you're moving in on short notice. The staff treats residents with dignity and respect, and the care is considered patient centered-meaning each person's plan fits their own medical and daily needs. For more, the facility's website, www.salemhillsrehab.com, lists all the services and more details about what living there looks like. Salem Hills works together with Waterview Hills Rehabilitation and Nursing Center at Purdy Station, so there's some connection between the two.
