Salem Hills Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Purdys, NY operates as a skilled nursing facility that offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing home care. Residents have access to 24-hour nursing coverage, regular physician rounds, licensed therapy staff for physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and on-site pharmacy coordination for medication management. The center is equipped to handle post-acute recovery following surgery, cardiac events, or orthopedic procedures, and it maintains the staffing and equipment necessary for IV therapy, wound management, and pain control.

Beyond core nursing services, the facility provides specialized programs such as respiratory support, diabetes management, and palliative or hospice coordination when needed. A social services team helps with care planning and transitions, while registered dietitians oversee therapeutic diet orders tied to medical conditions. Laboratory and diagnostic services are arranged on site or through nearby providers, and transportation for external medical appointments is coordinated by the staff.

Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms featuring accessibility-minded layouts, adjustable hospital beds, in-room call systems, and individual climate controls; some rooms also have cable television and Wi-Fi. Housekeeping, personal laundry, and maintenance are handled by the facility, and common areas such as lounges and outdoor patios are available for resident use. Not all accommodations have all the features mentioned, so prospective residents and families should verify details during a tour.

Dining is managed by a culinary team working with a registered dietitian to prepare three daily meals that meet clinical guidelines while offering choice. Therapeutic diets—low-sodium, diabetic, renal, and texture-modified options—are available, and snacks are provided between meals. Meals are typically served in a central dining room to encourage socialization, though in-room tray service can be arranged when residents are unable to leave their rooms. Kitchenettes are not standard in every accommodation, so residents interested in additional food preparation space should confirm availability in advance.
