Pricing

At the United Methodist Homes Elizabeth Church Campus, residents enjoy competitively priced accommodations that stand in contrast to both Broome County and broader New York state rates. For a one-bedroom unit, the cost is $2,040 per month, significantly lower than the county average of $3,981 and the state median of $4,307. Two-bedroom options are available for $2,250 per month, again providing a more budget-friendly alternative compared to Broome County's average of $2,756 and New York's higher rate of $4,786. However, the campus's studio apartments reflect a different trend; at $5,850 monthly, they exceed local and state averages of approximately $4,499 and $4,532 respectively. Overall, while the one- and two-bedroom options present an attractive value for prospective residents looking for affordability in supportive living arrangements, the studio pricing warrants consideration within the context of individual needs and preferences.

    Overall Review

    Pros

    • pro The in-house physical therapy provided excellent care and helped the patient regain strength after a hip operation.
    • pro The staff members were friendly and accommodating throughout the patient's stay.
    • pro The patient's mother showed significant improvement in her ability to ambulate thanks to the physical therapy program.
    • pro The facility had a positive and welcoming atmosphere, creating a comfortable experience for both patients and their families.
    • pro Despite challenges with staffing shortages due to COVID-19, the staff remained dedicated to providing quality care to patients.
    • pro The patient appreciated the patience and understanding shown by the staff during their mother's rehabilitation process.

    Cons

    • pro The restorative therapy provided after Medicare cut out was insufficient and did not meet the recommended guidelines.
    • pro The staff seemed more concerned about their convenience than prioritizing the patient's need for walking and exercise.
    • pro Due to staff shortages and COVID-related challenges, the facility failed to provide adequate restorative therapy, resulting in a setback in the patient's progress.
    • pro The business model needs to be reconsidered as it appears that higher-level management may not be adequately supporting or prioritizing the needs of the lower-level staff and patients.

    Review

    The in-house physical therapy at this facility is highly praised by one reviewer. They mention that their mother, who had recently undergone a hip operation, was able to regain strength and ambulate on her own for quite a distance due to the excellent therapy provided. The reviewer commends the staff for their effectiveness in helping their mother become stronger.

    However, Medicare coverage eventually ended, and the reviewer noticed a decline in the quality of restorative therapy provided. Medicare was supposed to cover 15 minutes per day of walking and exercise for their mother, but instead, she spent 95% of her time in a wheelchair. It seems that she was encouraged to stay in the wheelchair even when she wanted to get up and walk. The reviewer suspects this may have been for the convenience of the staff. Despite this setback, they acknowledge that staffing shortages due to Covid and resignations were likely contributing factors and remained patient.

    Unfortunately, due to the lack of consistent restorative therapy, their mother lost four weeks' worth of progress. This setback required them to play catch-up afterward. Despite these concerns, the reviewer emphasizes that all staff members were friendly and amiable throughout their interaction with them.

    In conclusion, while the in-house physical therapy received high praise initially for its effectiveness in helping patients regain mobility after surgeries like hip operations, there seemed to be some issues with maintaining consistency once Medicare coverage ended. The reviewer questions whether there should be a reevaluation of the business model as it appeared that upper management might not have been adequately supporting or prioritizing patient needs during this phase of care. Nevertheless, they make it clear that all personnel they encountered were friendly despite potential challenges faced by understaffing due to Covid-19 related circumstances and employees leaving their positions at the facility
