What this means for your family

The facility is highly regarded for its cleanliness, updated environment, and dedicated admissions team, making it a strong contender for those prioritizing a well-maintained living space. However, because some families have reported inconsistencies in care and responsiveness, we strongly recommend visiting unannounced at different times of the day to observe the actual level of care provided to residents.

Key Review Excerpts

The Nursing staff is exceptional. Both my parents live here. Sam needs to be recognized! From the moment we met him, he has been extremely helpful.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

We recently had to move my dad into The Cortland Northview nursing home wing and so far the experience is nothing but positive. At Cortland the facility is nice, very clean and the staff is very good.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

My mother in law is in this facility. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE Katelyn Oaks, one of her nurses! She goes above and beyond her job and takes such good care of MA.
