Utica, NY Asylum

I'm research James Stubbs. His date of birth was 7/17/1899. His birth information on all records indicates that he was born in Utica, NY. He and his family lived in Fall River, MA. His parents also lived there before he was born. Massachusetts and NY are not showing him being born in either state. My guess is that his mother may have been sent to Utica for mental reasons and he was born at the hospital. Is there a way to confirm it? I already paid money to get a birth record directly from Utica, NY and another request for the State of NY. Utica replied no record and it's been 4 months and I haven't gotten any information from the State of NY. Is there a way to access records of who may have been a patient at the hospital during a certain period of time?
