Fort Hudson Nursing Center Inc in Fort Edward operates as a skilled nursing facility that provides round-the-clock licensed nursing oversight for residents who need ongoing clinical attention. Staff members deliver services such as wound care, medication administration, post-surgical monitoring, and rehabilitation therapies in coordination with physicians and other health professionals. The clinical team is equipped to manage complex conditions and to adjust each care plan as medical needs change.
Medical support also includes short-term respite care, allowing family caregivers to arrange temporary placement while ensuring their loved one receives the same nursing supervision and access to rehabilitation services as long-term residents. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists are available on-site, and the center maintains relationships with local hospitals for smooth transitions when higher levels of care are required. Residents have access to lab work, imaging coordination, and pharmacy services without leaving the campus, streamlining the overall care process.
Accommodations consist of private and semiprivate rooms designed for mobility and safety, with features such as barrier-free bathrooms, emergency call systems, and adjustable beds. Some rooms include additional storage, in-room climate controls, and cable television; however, not all accommodations provide every feature, and availability depends on room assignment.
Dining services offer three daily meals prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian, with therapeutic and texture-modified menus available for residents who need them. Meals are served in a central dining room to support social interaction, though tray service is provided for residents who are temporarily unable to leave their rooms. Snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and the dietary staff consults with residents to adjust menus for allergies or personal preferences.
Residents can take part in daily programming held in the activity center, enjoy quiet time or internet access in the library and computer lounge, and sign up for regularly scheduled social outings that keep them connected to the broader community.
