Overview of Brothers of Mercy Sacred Heart Home

Brothers of Mercy Sacred Heart Home is a 105-bed nursing facility on Ransom Road in Clarence, New York, a suburban Erie County community east of Buffalo. The surrounding area is moderately walkable, with a Walk Score of 51, meaning visiting family can handle some nearby errands on foot without much hassle.

The clinical picture here is focused; the facility runs rehabilitation services with staffing around the clock, and it offers Outpatient Therapy as a named program. That last point matters for families navigating discharge planning: residents who complete their inpatient stay can continue therapy on-site rather than hunting for outside providers. It keeps the recovery timeline from getting interrupted by logistics.

State inspections at this facility, conducted by the New York Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care, have tended to center on medication management and staffing credentials. These are administrative and operational focus areas, not findings tied to direct resident harm.

Medicare is accepted, which is the coverage pathway most relevant for short-term post-acute admissions.

It’s a mid-size nursing home with rehabilitation services, outpatient therapy access, round-the-clock staffing, and Medicare coverage in a moderately accessible suburban setting. Brothers of Mercy Sacred Heart Home is best suited to individuals coming out of a hospital stay who need structured, supervised rehabilitation before returning home.

Glenwell

2248 Old Union Road, Cheektowaga, NY 14227
Overview of Glenwell

Glenwell is on Old Union Road in Cheektowaga, a suburb in Erie County. It has a Walk Score of 6, which means most people need a car to get around. Because of this, residents mostly stay on the property for their daily needs.

The community has 120 beds and is run by DePaul Adult Care Communities, Inc. They offer both assisted living and memory care in the same building.

Care is available 24 hours a day, and licensed nurses and aides are always on-site to help. The staff assists with medicine, manages care plans, and monitors emergency call systems.

If a family needs a short-term stay, they offer respite care. This is a good way to try out the community. Monthly costs are simpler because utilities are included. Residents also get three meals a day and can visit the on-site beauty shop or barbershop.

The memory care program helps people with memory loss, while others live in the assisted living section. Having both types of care and 24-hour nursing makes Glenwell one of the more complete care options in Erie County.

For families in Cheektowaga looking for a place with constant nursing support, Glenwell is set up to provide the medical care their loved ones need.

Supervision and health monitoring are also available, providing ongoing oversight within a resident’s routine care.

Respite care is available for short stays. That can give a family caregiver time to travel or recover while the resident remains supported. Rehabilitation services are available as well, allowing a resident to receive rehabilitation support through the community.

Meals and snacks are prepared by a professional chef, so residents do not need to prepare every meal themselves. Pets are allowed, meaning a resident may continue living with a pet after moving in.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New York State

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

Assisted living in New York State 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 State?

Assisted living in New York State 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 State Medicaid cover assisted living?

New York State Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New York State) 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 374 assisted living facilities in New York State. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New York State?

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 New York State, 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 New York State?

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.
