Canterbury Woods

725 Renaissance Drive, Williamsville, NY 14221
Overview of Canterbury Woods

Canterbury Woods operates a 50-bed skilled nursing facility at 725 Renaissance Drive in Williamsville, Erie County, New York, as part of the Episcopal Church Home and Affiliates Life Care Community network.

Founded in 1999 and structured as a continuing care retirement community, the facility accepts private-pay residents and Medicare-eligible short-term rehabilitation patients but does not accept Medicaid. The nonprofit model supports mission-driven operations under operator Shaida Behnam’s administration.

The CMS overall rating is 3 stars; health inspection rating is 4 stars; quality measures rating is 4 stars.

Current occupancy of 82% (41 of 50 beds) tracks below the New York average of 88.3%.

Staffing depth distinguishes this facility: combined nursing hours total 5 hours 6 minutes per resident per day, a 46-percent surplus over the New York state average of 3 hours 29 minutes. Registered nurse presence stands at 1 hour 7 minutes daily (72% above state average), with weekend RN coverage at 55 minutes (83% above state average). Licensed practical nurses and certified nursing aides contribute 1 hour 30 minutes and 3 hours 23 minutes per day respectively, both above state benchmarks. This staffing profile positions Canterbury Woods in the top 18 facilities statewide for adjusted nursing hours per resident per day.

Between 2021 and 2025, the facility received 8 inspections, identifying 21 total deficiencies; significantly more per inspection (2.6 vs. state average 1.4) and more per year (4.2 vs. state average 2.6).

The most recent inspection in January 2025 documented 9 health and life safety deficiencies including infection control, abuse and neglect policies, pressure ulcer management, and fire safety code compliance, all corrected by February. Over the same period, the facility received 38 complaints, 52% fewer than state average per year, with all complaint investigations finding unsubstantiated claims.

The facility reports zero federal enforcement actions and zero civil money penalties.

The walk score of 81 indicates very high neighborhood walkability.

The facility’s continuing care model, above-average staffing investment, and sustained operational focus on correction suggest capacity for short-term rehabilitation and long-term private-pay placement despite citation frequency in recent years.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Erie County, NY

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New York?

Assisted living in New York supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New York?

Assisted living in New York is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New York Medicaid cover assisted living?

New York Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New York) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 13 assisted living facilities in Erie County, NY. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Erie County, NY?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Erie County, NY, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Erie County, NY?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
