A lot of really hard working, dedicated compassionate people here. I’ve seen many go the extra mile and make a difference in the day of a resident and family member. Sometimes it’s the little things that one thinks go unnoticed that make the biggest difference.

Every day that I was here for the past 3 years has been a blessing. I love and will miss all the staff members here at Van Duyn.
Regina Martin
I was very hesitant when I was told I had to come here for rehab, so to have experienced it myself I must say it was such a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Van Duyn!

I really appreciate and am so thankful for the concierge services at Van Duyn Center. Mr. Birds and Tarana have treated me with tremendous kindness. I am very grateful to have them there for me, I am alone with no family nearby and they treat me like family. I am also grateful for Danish’s, a CNA who also treats me like family. The teams on my floor, including nurses go above and beyond.

Tarana from concierge is wonderful. Nursing staff is overall good. Sally of diet-tech is great, she address all my food related issues. Alif from social work is great, and he encourages me a lot. Van Duyn Center staff loves helping residents and pointing them in the right direction.

My mother was discharged from Van Duyn last week. She was there for 3.5 weeks. Overall we were very satisfied with the stay. Nursing and medical staff were very professional and knowledgeable. Discharge instructions and education went well for my wife and I so we could care for her in our home. She was not a fan of the food but she is back walking pain free and ready to come live with us.

Where do I begin, this facility is wonderful. The staff and management work endlessly to accommodate residents and address any problems/questions/ concerns. Far to often you run into facilities with people who do not care. Van Duyn is not one of these facilities. The people at this facility are extremely hard working and passionate. I would recommend Van Duyn to anyone and everyone.

When I walked into Van Duyn with my wife I was amazed at how beautiful the lobby was. My wife slipped on ice and broke her hip and we decided to give Van Duyn a try. I am pleased to say that the staff on the rehab floor were great. They were extremely attentive and made sure my wife was well taken care of. Therapy was phenomenal and my wife is stronger than she was before the fall! The social worker, Lisa went above and beyond to make sure we had everything my wife needed upon returning home. If you or your loved one are in need of rehab I would highly recommend Van Duyn.

There are not many words to describe my appreciation. Van Duyn is the greatest nursing facility I have ever encountered. My mother deteriorated quickly due to terminal cancer and moving her into a nursing home was a painful decision for my family, but we would not have changed a thing about it. The nursing staff treated my mother so kindly and helped her maintain her dignity. When my mother passed, the staff and administration ensured she was taken care of and provided her a peaceful passing. Do not be fooled by the media, this facility is filled with compassion, caring, and hardworking individuals. Thank you for your support Van Duyn. You will forever have a place in my family’s heart.

I thought the food was very good, my social worker was very good and I liked the therapy department. I also enjoyed the library and the views! I found their cleaning team to be very dedicated. My dietician went above and beyond to accommodate dietary requests. The receptionist on the 7th floor was very efficient.

I’m acutely aware of the articles recently written about VanDuyn and would like to offer a view into some of the excellence that the Nursing home provides. I’m currently on the rehab floor of the center as a result of a severe injury. I needed wound care along with physical and occupational therapy. Prior to coming to VanDuyn I had spent 5 weeks in bed due to 7 operations on my arm. The result was a weakening of my legs to the extent that I was unable to stand or walk. The rehab department quickly changed that. The rehab department at VanDuyn is not only excellent but they are also compassionate. I’ve spent the last 6 weeks getting back up on my feet and now I’m ready to go home after 6 weeks! My prognosis by a physician at the hospital was 6 months to forever. If you are willing to work it, they and the therapies will work with you. I’m proof. So, with all the negative press, let’s not forget that all nursing homes have issues. Let’s not forget we are still in a pandemic and these workers have worked thru the worst of it and yet they still remain. There are good and excellent things happening at VanDuyn and what they offer the greater Syracuse community.

The food needs improvement but the nurses were nice. The equipment in therapy was nice. Matt, the evening med nurse made me feel comfortable throughout my stay.
Pat L.
The food was excellent, especially after talking with the dietitian. I found the med nurses were good as well as some of the nurses aides. Therapy was very good; I had Patty and Elin and they were excellent.

I would recommend Van Duyn, I really enjoyed the recreation here and rehab. It was encouraging to watch other people get better. The rehab department is outstanding!

I passed my therapy with flying colors. The food is so-so, but the aides that took care of me were good. My social worker was pretty good too.
