Established in 1832, the Horace Nye Home in Elizabethtown, New York, has long been recognized for its excellent service to the residents of Essex County. Home to approximately 100 residents who require skilled and/or personal long-term and short-term care services, the facility offers private and shared accommodations with telephone and cable hook-up, a large and spacious dining room, and a lovely, centrally-located and landscaped courtyard. Located behind the Essex County Government Center, and adjacent to the Elizabethtown Community Hospital and 24-hour emergency services, the Horace Nye Home affords a central community setting with proximity to essential clinical and social services.

Horace Nye Home provides 24-hour skilled nursing care in a safe, secure, and home-like environment in a smoke-free facility. Each resident receives individualized assessments to develop a plan of care best suited to attain and maintain his or her highest possible level of functioning, with emphasis on independence and choice.

Residents are admitted from a variety of settings including acute care hospitals, non-skilled facility settings, home, or other skilled nursing facilities.

The Horace Nye Home prides itself in its involvement in the community. We welcome individual or group participation in our facility, including daycare groups, musicians, youth or club groups, and recitals and plays performed by local talent. The facility's handicap-accessible vans offer our residents the opportunity to explore and enjoy activities in Essex County and beyond.
