Salamanca Rehabilitation & Nursing Center

Salamanca Rehabilitation & Nursing Center sits at 451 Broad Street in Salamanca, New York, and serves as a Skilled Nursing Facility with 120 certified beds and an average of 104 residents each day, which means it mostly helps people who need a lot of care, often after a stay in the hospital or when they can't do things for themselves anymore, and it looks after folks for both short-term rehab and long-term care, depending on what they need. The place offers skilled nursing services, general therapies, and nutrition programs, and it keeps up a monthly activity calendar where residents can join in on events like music, parties, BBQs, baseball games, and other gatherings that try to keep everyone active and connected. Leadership at the facility includes Catherine Bullock Rutzen and Zia Sheikh, who started managing at the beginning of 2023, and Personal Healthcare Management is the current company with a controlling interest. Staffing runs at 2.99 nurse hours per resident daily, which is under the state average of 3.7, and the nurse turnover rate stands at 47.4%, a bit higher than the New York standard. Inspection reports list 26 total deficiencies, including ones for food safety, accident prevention, and infection control, all noted with an E severity rating, which the government tracks for oversight. The most recent star ratings from CMS show the center holds an overall two stars, with individual ratings of two stars for health inspections, three for staffing, and four for quality. The facility doesn't discriminate against anyone based on background or identity, and it's an equal opportunity employer, offering jobs for RNs, LPNs, and CNAs. The staff strives to help residents meet their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, and they do their best to support people-trying to make care personal by working with residents and families to build a sense of community, respect, and dignity for everyone living there.
