I recently had to move my husband to CNRC and was pleasantly surprised by the nice surroundings and capable staff. They really upped their game from Cayuga Ridge. My only complaint is that they are understaffed on the floor that my husband is on. The medical and support staff need more help keeping up with all of the demands of the residents. But all in all, I am satisfied that he is in a nice, safe place.

This facility could have been perfect if the night shift would have been directed and observed. It is difficult to pin point what goes on during the night, but in the morning the neglect shows up…bed is rarely made, meds are not given on time and patient exhibits signs of it. I will be happy to give more detailed examples in person. There’s also a significant turn around of staff, and in house physician is rarely seen. Administration persons are pretty Reliable and efficient .

Don’t like to post negative reviews but have to for this company. Have a family member there for over a month. Was told by numerous staff members numerous times that they were not able to make decisions based on at least stage 2 dementia. A family friend went behind the family’s back anyway and had him sign a health care proxy. The 2 witnesses who signed never actually saw them sign it. One witness happened to be an employee of the facility. Well, they should have never have accepted the proxy. So Cayuga ridge and staff did a 180 and said that family member was capable of making decisions on there own to protect there own but. In the process throwing us under the bus and asking us not to use names of staff who talked with us. There is more to the story but am wondering if this has happened to others at this facility

My brother is currently in there for rehab for a broken shoulder and unable to walk from a fall. We found a place to be Beautiful and immaculate more like a hotel than a rehab center does not smell. The people are very nice. I give it a five star rating. My brother was at Waterview on Beach Avenue in Rochester and it was a place from hell so this place is incredibly refreshing and beautiful and so thankful for it and thankful my brother was able to get in there. God bless all the people there and the work that they do is amazing.
