Skilled Nursing


Our 48-room Skilled Nursing Facility is a part of the Health Center and the Community Center, allowing Health Center residents easy access to community activities. The Skilled Nursing Facility provides services for residents recuperating from illness, injury or surgery, or requiring long-term care.

Life in Taughannock House


Taughannock House residents have private rooms in one of three neighborhoods and bring their own furniture and favorite possessions. Kendal’s non-institutional design enhances the quality of everyday life: floors are carpeted, there is no public address system, and visiting is not restricted by established hours. Making the decision to move to the Health Center is a team process, and each resident is assured of full partnership in the making of such a decision. Evaluation by a physician is a necessary prerequisite of admission to Taughannock House.
