Welcome to Elant at Fishkill.
Elant at Fishkill, a 160-bed nursing home and rehabilitation center, has been part of the community for more than 32 years, and offers many unique and award-winning programs including a specialized dementia care unit, a comprehensive rehabilitation clinic for short-term, long-term, outpatient and home care rehabilitation, an outstanding therapeutic activity program and volunteer program.
Expert care and rehabilitation
Elant at Fishkill specializes in compassionate care and expert rehabilitation. We try to make a stay in our facility as pleasant and productive as possible, offering intensive rehabilitation therapy. Our experienced clinicians and therapists can help residents transition quickly from hospital to home through occupational, physical and speech therapies. We have a rehabilitative program that focuses on helping people recover their abilities to the fullest extent possible by using a variety of techniques and a completely individualized plan of care. If a resident is planning to return home, the rehabilitation team will perform a home evaluation to assess safety needs and make suggestions for necessary equipment and continued care through therapy at home with our long-term home health care services.
Engaging activities
Elant at Fishkill is known for its broad spectrum of stimulating creative and mind sharpening activities designed to continue previous life experiences and provide new opportunities for residents. Regularly scheduled activities include ceramics and craftwork, fitness and cooking groups, gardening, concerts, socials, music, massage and pet therapies, visitation, ethnic programs, social clubs, discussion groups and frequent outings to local restaurants, stores, theaters, and local attractions.
For more than 20 years, Elant at Fishkill has provided dementia care for our residents with Alzheimer’s Disease and related illnesses. The M.I.N.D. Unit (Maintaining Independence in Neurocognitive Disorders) is secure and provides a safe environment for those with cognitive and memory impairment. Specially trained staff offer compassionate care and supervision, and assist in dealing with memory loss, orientation problems and impaired social and language skills.

Adult Foster Family Care Program
Founded in 1989, Fishkill Health Center’s Foster Family Care Program matches elderly or disabled adult clients with families who share their homes and provide personal care for the client in the stimulating and nourishing environment of family life.
The program is ideal for elderly or disabled adults who do not need total care, but do require 24-hour supervision and cannot get that care at home. For qualified clients, the FHC Foster Family Care Program is an alternative to residential or nursing home care.
Foster Families and their homes are carefully screened for suitability and family members are thoroughly trained in the needs of clients before being accepted into the program. Compatibility between the client and Foster Family is paramount in making the match.
Caregivers receive payment for providing room and board and personal care services, and enjoy the many personal satisfactions of living along-side an older, uniquely experienced person. FHC’s Foster Family Care Program affords both clients and caregiver families the opportunity for fuller, richer lives.
Long Term Home Health Care Programs (LTHHCP)
One of only two such programs in the county, LTHHCP provides comprehensive care in the comfort and privacy of the client's own home. The program is open to anyone in Dutchess County eligible for care in a residential care facility or nursing home.
Admission is based on the results of a detailed assessment, after which a comprehensive care plan is developed by the primary nurse who coordinates the various services. The program is long term in that it is designed to help clients stay in their homes for as long as possible.
LTHHCP is covered by Medicaid, Medicare or private pay provided that the amount of service needed is within 75 percent of what it would cost to be in the local nursing home.
Rehabilitation at Home
Short term skilled care for nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapies can be offered in the comfort of your own home. We continue your treatment plan post-discharge from a hospital. Our professional staff will assist you in your rehabilitation and recuperation in your home setting. We also evaluate your home and make recommendations for any environmental adaptations.
HIV Home Care Program
A unique program in Dutchess County specifically for adults who are diagnosed with HIV-related illnesses. Like LTHHCP, the HIV Home Care Program provides comprehensive care in the client's home.
It is said that home is where the heart is.
But in Dutchess County, home care can also be where the help is for the elderly or disabled adult in need of daily health care. Elant at Fishkill offers three excellent programs that help individuals remain as independent as possible in the home.
An alternative to residential nursing home care, Elant at Fishkill's programs foster a sense of freedom, individuality and personal dignity. They differ from other programs in that they are uniquely comprehensive and individualized. Each client's care plan is created just for them. The plan considers the medical, social, psychological and environmental aspects of his or her situation. To maximize the care, family and support systems play an important role in designing the plan. This "creative care management" is the primary focus of each Elant at Fishkill program.
