Overall Review of Hudson Valley Rehabilitation & Extended Care Center
caveat9 reviews mention this
Communication feels inconsistent
Residents and families describe trouble getting in touch quickly when help is needed.
Several reviews say phone access is difficult—some mention phones not being available in rooms or long delays getting someone to answer. Others report missed calls, unreachable social workers, or being told their loved one was asleep instead of getting assistance. Even among more positive comments, one review highlights a missing in-room phone as a practical barrier for staying connected.
caveat9 reviews mention this
Cleanliness and upkeep are questioned
Multiple reviewers raise concerns about cleanliness and visible condition of the building.
A recurring theme is that the facility does not look well maintained, with mentions of stained carpets, old or soiled furniture, and areas that felt dirty. Some reviews also describe basics not being kept up, like linens not being changed and rooms not being cleaned daily. Even reviewers who praise certain departments still call out cleanliness and overall appearance as a problem.

Care quality draws sharp divide
Reviews range from attentive care to serious worries about neglect and pain being overlooked.
While some families describe staff who kept residents clean, helped with eating, and took people to appointments, other reviewers express severe concerns. Negative reviews include accounts of residents left without needed attention, infections not treated, alarms not addressed, and oxygen not properly handled. Residents may receive skilled nursing support at this community, but the experiences described in reviews vary widely from unit to unit and caregiver to caregiver.

Case management and social support
Several reviewers mention case management and social work that did not feel responsive.
Two reviews focus on gaps in coordination and follow-through, especially with a social worker or director who was hard to reach. One reviewer also points to issues with communication beyond the care team, while another contrasts that concern with other departments that felt helpful. Taken together, the reviews suggest families may need to be persistent to get timely answers and updates.

Some teams are praised directly
Some reviewers describe staff who are attentive, kind, and supportive for families during rehab.
A smaller set of reviews say they received responsive help from nursing and other departments, including attention to cleanliness, meals, and appointment transportation. These reviewers also describe staff being informative and compassionate, and one family says the team helped with funeral arrangements and paperwork after a loved one passed. That said, other reviews contradict this picture with descriptions of rude or unresponsive interactions, so experiences appear uneven across staff and situations.
