Meadowbrook Healthcare in Plattsburgh, NY operates as a nursing home that delivers skilled nursing care, short-term respite stays, physical therapy, and comprehensive diabetes management. Licensed nurses staff the building around the clock, while rehabilitation therapists provide individualized programs that address mobility, strength, and speech needs. Certified diabetes professionals handle glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and diet coordination, ensuring residents with diabetes receive consistent support alongside their broader medical plans.
In addition to these core services, the facility keeps an interdisciplinary clinical team on a regular review cycle, updating care plans and coordinating with attending physicians for lab work, imaging, and specialty referrals. A therapy gym outfitted with modern equipment, a secure unit for higher-acuity residents, and electronic medication management systems help maintain safety and continuity of care. Transportation for off-site appointments is arranged when required.
Resident rooms come in multiple layouts, and not all accommodations have every feature. WiFi is available throughout the property, and some units include in-room washers and dryers. Many rooms overlook landscaped grounds, and supervised access to patios, walking paths, and an outdoor garden offers residents a change of scenery when weather cooperates.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in a communal dining room, with staff on hand to assist those who need help eating. Menus are developed by a registered dietitian, and carbohydrate-controlled or pureed options are available to meet clinical requirements, particularly for residents managing diabetes. Hydration and snack stations remain accessible between meals.
Leisure options include resident clubs, scheduled arts and crafts workshops, group events in an activity center, and quiet time in a library and computer lounge that provides both reading material and internet access. Programming is adjusted to each resident’s interests and functional level to encourage ongoing engagement.
