MVHS Rehabilitation and Nursing Center remains in the same facility located in the Center for Rehabilitation and Continuing Care Services building on the St. Luke’s campus at 1650 Champlin Ave. in Utica.
At the same time, St. Luke’s Home Adult Day Health Care will now be titled MVHS Adult Day Health Care (ADHC). MVHS ADHC offers health care with therapeutic social, educational, and recreational activities. It is a medical-model program, operated under the supervision of a registered nurse, the organization said.
“Not only do the new names bring cohesiveness and better name recognition to the organization, it better reflects what the center does extremely well – rehabilitation,” Scott Perra, president and CEO of MVHS, contended in the release. “Those coming to MVHS Rehabilitation and Nursing Center receive quality, rehabilitation services and return home once their health improves. We also continue our commitment to those who need long-term care services in a home-like setting.”
MVHS Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is a 202-bed facility with a 40-bed subacute rehabilitation unit. Its services include coordinated inpatient rehabilitation and long-term and continuing care services for the community.
“We want to more readily be identified as an affiliate of the Mohawk Valley Health System. This name change also reflects our strengths in the changing, senior healthcare environment,” Mike McCoy, executive director of MVHS Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, added.
