Please call the facility at 315-656-7218 to schedule all visits. On days in which there is inclement weather, or days in which oppressive heat would be unsafe for the residents, in-person visits will be cancelled.

Sunnyside Care Center RE: Visitors July 13, 2020... Dear Family Members, We are required to follow very specific guidelines imposed by CMS and the New York State Department of Health in order to begin allowing visitors inside the facility. At this time, we are NOT eligible to begin in-person visitation at our facility. Once we are, we will notify family of our plan, which must be approved by the Department of Health prior to implementation. To date we have had zero (0) residents test positive for Covid-19. Staff testing is ongoing and weekly, per the Governor’s mandate. Since the mandate, we have had eight (8) asymptomatic staff members test positive (the local newspaper incorrectly reported a higher figure of 10). The most recent positive test result occurred last week. These individuals have each been quarantined and monitored by the Department of Health, as per policy. While we do not call family or send letters to family to notify of any positive staff results, we will continue to post this information on social media. Please know that window visits will continue, by appointment, on weekdays between the hours of 10am-3:30pm (except during lunch and staff shift change). Skype/Facetime visits will also continue, by appointment, through our Therapeutic Recreation Department. As always, if you have questions or concerns at any time and wish to discuss your loved one with clinical staff, please call! Thank you, Brian Chamberlin Administrator (This information will be going out in the mail to family members of residents)
