Glenwell is a 120-bed adult home located at 2248 Old Union Road, Cheektowaga, New York, Erie County, operated by DePaul Adult Care Communities, Inc. The facility maintains a clean regulatory record, with seven inspections between 2021 and May 2025 producing zero deficiencies. The complaint rate of 5 per 100 occupied beds sits substantially below the New York state average of 49.9. No enforcement actions have been recorded.
Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants staff the facility around the clock. Medication assistance and case management services are integrated into daily operations. Respite care is available for temporary placements. The facility offers continuous on-site clinical presence rather than on-call models, a structural advantage for residents requiring immediate nursing response.

The facility accommodates meal planning through a registered dietitian’s input, signaling attention to nutritional standards beyond basic provision.
Amenities include 24-hour staff access, emergency call systems in units, housekeeping and laundry services, beauty and barbershop services, case management services, life-enriching activities, medication assistance, and assistance with daily living activities. Utilities are included in the service package. The facility provides these services without allowing pets on-site.
Respite care is the specialized therapy offering, designed for temporary stays or trial periods. This service enables families to evaluate the facility and its care model before committing to longer-term residence. The respite model acknowledges transitional care needs common in older adult placements.
Litigation history shows two closed negligence cases from 2018 and 2022, both disposed through the court system. No active claims are pending. The cases have been resolved without public settlement details or recorded judgments.
Families should verify the scope of respite care terms and confirm how the 24-hour staffing model aligns with your specific care needs.
Brothers of Mercy Sacred Heart Home is a 105-bed Adult Home at 4526 Ransom Road in Clarence, Erie County, New York. It provides skilled nursing, rehabilitation, assisted living, and memory care. Staffing includes nursing services, skilled nursing, licensed nurses and CNAs with 24-hour coverage. Rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, spiritual care, and hospice services are available. The facility accepts Medicare but is not CMS-certified. Located at Clarence city center.
Recent inspection activity shows a spike followed by improvement. November 21, 2024 renewal inspection cited three deficiencies in operating certificates, resident services, and medication management. The immediately subsequent June 20, 2025 complaint investigation found zero deficiencies, indicating remediation. August 2023 complaint investigation also found zero deficiencies. Over three years, the facility averages 1 deficiency per year, 80 percent better than the New York state average of 5.1 per year. Complaint volume is notably low at 1.9 per 100 occupied beds versus a state average of 49.9 per 100 beds. No enforcement actions, immediate jeopardy findings, or fines appear in regulatory records.
Four lawsuits have been filed since 2015, all now closed. Negligence cases were filed by Linda S. Berardo (2025), Kevin J. Kelly (2018), and Paul F. Hardman (2017, settled). The facility sued law firm Lippes Matthias for professional malpractice (2019). The cumulative litigation pattern over a decade warrants understanding how the facility has evolved its policies and practices in response.
Families should request documentation of corrective actions taken for the November 2024 deficiencies and inquire how the facility has modified policies in response to litigation.

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.
