To our Seneca View Residents and Families:
In follow up to the Administrator Update earlier this week (copy attached) we are pleased to inform you that the Seneca View Restricted Visitation Program will be starting this coming Wednesday, March 3rd. Facility staff will begin contacting families on Monday to offer opportunities to schedule a visit, and provide further details.
The visits will be conducted under the guidelines provided by the Department of Health. Initially the meetings will take place in the nursing home dining rooms and when the weather allows we will be moving them outdoors. We are still working out the details but the team will be able to answer your questions when they call to schedule your visit. The end of life visit program will remain in place unchanged. We will also be placing our visitation plan information on our website for convenient access and details will be provided to those arriving at their scheduled times.
Per State requirements, the facility must immediately terminate the program if the strict guidelines are not maintained by all visitors. Any visitor who fails to comply with the stated infection prevention measures will be prohibited from visiting the facility until the pandemic has ended and the state of emergency is lifted. Also, if any staff or resident tests positive for COVID-19 the program will be postponed immediately until the threat of infection has passed.
The Seneca View team is very pleased to begin offering limited visits at this time, however, we are very mindful of the need to follow the guidelines to maintain safety.
We are looking forward to seeing you!

what our patients are saying
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
