Canceling Your Visit
If you realize that you cannot make the visit, please go online as soon as possible and cancel your appointment.

If you must cancel on the day of your appointment because you have not received your test results (or for any other reason), please notify the front desk at (315) 446-9111, x110 so this information can be provided to the staff facilitating the visit.

If a new COVID case were to occur in either The Inn or the Jewish Home, we would be forced to cancel all visits until we had at least the 14-day waiting period with no new onset of COVID cases.
