Waterview Heights Closure Plan | Rochester News

Waterview Heights Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is shutting down after years of ignored care violations led to the termination of its Medicare and Medicaid agreement. Lifespan, the local long-term care ombudsman, is now overseeing the closure, helping residents relocate within ten miles—or up to 25 miles—with support for safe discharges back home. The state Department of Health is ensuring residents’ voices are heard as the facility aims to fully close by September 24, 2026, following a final agreement deadline on August 25, 2026.
