CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the New York average of 3.1.

Staffing
Nursing staff spend about 3.55 hours per resident per day at The Hurlbut, about the same as the New York median of 3.57 (US median: 3.72). About 0.24 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 2.93 hours, 18% below its all-week average. Ask how weekends are staffed. 54.2% of nursing staff left within a year (New York median 38.3%). High turnover can mean residents see unfamiliar caregivers; ask how long the nurses on the unit have worked there.
About this nursing home
Paying for care at The Hurlbut: Medicare and Medicaid
The Hurlbut is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet New York's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.
In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.
