Wedgewood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Wedgewood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. With a state rank of #133 out of 594 facilities in New York, they are in the top half, while ranking #8 out of 31 in Monroe County means only seven facilities in the area are rated higher. Unfortunately, the facility's trend is worsening, with the number of issues increasing from 2 in 2023 to 3 in 2024. Staffing is a concern, with a 60% turnover rate that is significantly higher than the state average of 40%, which may affect care continuity. On a positive note, there are no fines on record, and the facility boasts excellent RN coverage, which is crucial for addressing potential health problems. However, there have been specific incidents noted in inspections. For example, the facility has not maintained safe water temperatures, with hot water exceeding acceptable limits and posing a burn risk for residents. Additionally, maintenance issues have been reported, including cracked floor tiles and inadequate heating during colder weather, which could compromise resident comfort and safety. Overall, while Wedgewood has some strengths, these maintenance and staffing concerns should be carefully considered by families researching care options.

"Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate.
Is Wedgewood Nursing And Rehabilitation Center Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, Wedgewood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 5-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in New York. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Wedgewood Nursing And Rehabilitation Center Stick Around?
Staff turnover at Wedgewood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is high. At 60%, the facility is 14 percentage points above the New York average of 46%. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Wedgewood Nursing And Rehabilitation Center Ever Fined?
Wedgewood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Wedgewood Nursing And Rehabilitation Center on Any Federal Watch List?
Wedgewood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
