Corning Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing — Attraction in City of Corning

My Grandpa was abused and neglected at the Steuben Center and after some forceful words from both my Grandma and my aunt was taken to the hospital and finally to the Corning Center where he was to receive hospice until the end. Feel free to see my full review of the Steuben Center for details about that "care" facility and the atrocities that befell my Grandpa there. But this review is about the Corning Center and I couldn't be happier with the care he received there. They came and rotated him regularly and checked on him and treated him with respect and dignity to the very end. When we first arrived at the Corning Center it seemed like it was a little chaotic, and it was, but it was still organized and lively. People were moving around, staff was moving the residents around, residents were moving themselves around. People seemed content. They even have a hall monitor who watches the hallway so residents can move around freely but can't hurt themselves or enter another room without permission. Granted, he was only there for two days, he was taken there knowing it was only a matter of time. We got the call at 3:30 in the morning he wasn't doing well didn't have long left and we rushed over, he passed right after we walked in and every nurse on the floor stopped by to check on us and give us hugs and they told us we could stay as long as we wanted. They were so caring and wonderful. Even Grandpa's roommate was a wonderful guy. His name was Doug and he kept a watch over Grandpa and made sure that no one could come into the room without permission and he would call the nurse anytime he sensed something wrong with Grandpa. (My mom and my Grandma have since gone back to thank Doug and give him a present, he is such a sweetheart!) If your choices for your loved one are between the Steuben Center and the Corning Center, PLEASE stay far away from the Steuben Center for the sake of your loved one, and I do recommend the...

My husband was discharged from Arnot Ogden Medical to CLC for rehabilitation and I am nothing but pleased with the surroundings, the staff ratio to the patients and the care my husband is getting. I feel very safe in the knowledge that even though he's a night owl and doesn't sleep at night it doesn't seem to bother them. They are extra careful with him. I was apprehensive at the start because of the negative reviews on your sight but the staff that I have come in contact with are wonderful! They really, truly care. Even though my husband has had a few falls, they have tried their best to ensure his safety. He has SUNDOWNERS syndrome and it's keeps him up at night since his radiation and chemo for lung cancer. They keep him out of pain and as far as I can tell from his lips they are very nice, especially your import from Lousiana, Michele, the nurse with the black curly hair, I think Amy and all the girls on the second floor, they are the best! If it can be worked out with the VA I would hope this could be his long term home. It's so close for me and I can call late at night and inquire about him or even speak with them and they are more than happy to bring him to the phone. I just wish he hadn't lost 8lbs. The food looks great from what I have seen. I am there almost everyday as I know this would be a difficult transition for him and you all have made him feel safe and cared...

This is a place you send your parents if you hate them and you want them to die. My mother spent three months here, and she had to be taken to the ER at the end. She was SEVERELY MALNOURISHED and completely disoriented.

I heard a staff member refer to my mother by name once in three months. She was found by me and other family members in the most disgusting conditions you can imagine:

filthy dirty, in clothes she'd been in for days bedding disgusting, covered with food (she was really sick and could not do much of anything) in her own waste products which she was desperately trying to remove herself. She said "I feel like a person again" when she was changed by our caregiver, whom we hired to advocate for her. That person saved her life. alone alone alone-- I read they spend fewer than 20 min a day per patient. They mostly seem to watch videos at the desk or stand around chatting.

There is one very humane person here---the financial person. She is lovely.

Otherwise? Good luck. You would do better to place your loved one in the middle of a public park and hope for the best.
