Deepdale, which opened in 1959, had a program for training nursing students from a local college.

They were fined after being charged by New York State's Attorney General with illegally overcharging patients for telephone service. [11] The accusation said it was a "deceptive and unconscionable business act." A larger fine was imposed for two situations involving "improper medical procedures" (both fatal). [4]
In 1973, a nearly two hour power loss was compounded because "its emergency generator was inoperative and the Fire Department was called to provide a portable power supply." [12]
