I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident My father is at Taconic Rehabilitation & Nursing at Ulster. It seems very nice. It's clean. The room is also clean and there are dressers there. Each resident has a TV and curtains for privacy. The staff members have been fantastic. They treat my father wonderfully. They are respectful, helpful, and encouraging. There is a full schedule of activities every single day. There's entertainment, they have therapeutic dogs come to visit, and they have music, bingo, and movies. I... read more

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident My brother in law was a patient receiving care for a traumatic head injury. He has since been transferred to Helen Hayes as recommended by Wingate. While at Wingate he received the utmost exceptional care. The staff was exceptionally professional and caring. He made terrific improvements while there. Thank you Wingate.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident My great grandmother was a resident here. First for rehab before being admitted long term. She came here from another facility after developing severe sores. At the previous facility she was drugged in bed all day... Her first day there she was up, dressed, clean, and even had her hair braided! They restored her to her previous level of ability in a few weeks, as well as her awful sores healed. She lived there until she passed peacefully. I saw a staff member recently and ... read more

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident I believe that I have reasonable expectations for the quality of care at a nursing home especially for a short term stay. Unfortunately for my Mother, Wingate did not live up to even the most minimum standards. She entered Wingate as spry 99 year old, walking constantly (with assistance), eating well, and performing the most basic functions independently. She left Wingate barely able to stand having been left in bed for at least two days, weak from little to no nutrtition ... read more

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident I scheduled a visit with a family member and traveled far to visit. I was told at the front desk to "Go Around the Building" to find where I was suppose to meet. NO assistance with finding the place I was suppose to go--and I showed up early and was told that I could bring her food. Got lost ---"TRYING" to find this area--and the fro ant desk staff was busy "gossiping" instead of being helpful. I was only allowed ONE HALF hour to visit. Plus not allowed to order food or ev... read more

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident This place is a disgrace. My mother in law was often dirty. Once the bell was pushed she was left of as much as 15 minutes waiting for someone to help her in the bathroom, we were there when this happened. We were not allowed to help her for insurance reasons. Had to actually go out in the hall and stare at the nurses station for someone to help. When covid hit things got much worse. When we were able to see her outside she would come out with filthy clothes and looked lik... read more

I am/was a resident of this facility The staff is friendly but they are short staff all the time. The administration is terrible. The administrator is not friendly. They don't want to hear any problems from the patients. The way he talks to the staff is disrespectful and degrading. I was able to take my mother out of there asap. Bat place, not safe, never again.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident My wife recently spent a month and a half at this facility. She has been diagnosed with Parkinson's and I had thought this rehab would improve her mobility. I was horribly wrong. First off the rooms are not cleaned properly which caused her to contract CDIFF which the facilities staff claimed was caused by her anti-biotics she was on. The problem with that is that she wasn't on any. She went home with CDIFF. The staff at best are very good at ignoring the room buzzers and ... read more
