Welcome!
At Beechtree, you'll find a dedicated staff that partners with you, and your loved one, to achieve and maintain the best life possible for your loved one. Every resident receives 24-hour skilled nursing care in a safe and stimulating environment. At Beechtree, every resident is treated with dignity and respect. Person-Centered Care: Creating Home at Beechtree Beechtree has implemented Person-Centered Care, a new concept in nursing homes that makes quality of life as important as quality of care. Person-Centered Care means residents are given daily choices that foster individual life-long habits. Residents can get up early, or sleep in. Showers or baths are given when residents like to take them, not when it "works" for staff. We do our best to meet each resident's requests, and when we can't, alternative decisions are made by resident and staff deciding together. Person-Centered care includes transforming our building to look and feel more like home. Each Unit has become a neighborhood, with proper neighborhood names: Unit One is now Cayuga Commons Unit Two is now Treman Terrace Unit Three is now Seneca Summit Even our Rehabilitation wing has a new name. We now call it Reconstruction Junction. We're raising funds to cover cinderblock-walled hallways and paint them with colors that will brighten and cheer our residents' surroundings. Comfortable home-like furniture will one day replace vinyl furniture, once the only option for nursing homes. Hallways will become streets and each resident will have his or her own address, with mailboxes at each door where daily mail will be delivered. Even dining has changed. We now offer restaurant-style dining, with steaming hot food served fresh from buffet-styled tables in every neighborhood, as well as in our main dining room. We encourage you to stop by and see for yourself why Beechtree is a place that should be considered when looking for a home for your loved-one.
