Overview of Excel at Woodbury for Rehabilitation and Nursing, LLC

Excel at Woodbury for Rehabilitation and Nursing is a 123-bed facility on Jericho Turnpike that mostly handles short-term physical recovery. The building operates at nearly full capacity, and residents typically stay for about 68 days. Payments are handled through standard private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid. Since it sits on a car-dependent stretch of Long Island, visiting family members and employees will generally need a vehicle to get back and forth.

Daily nursing sheets show that the floor staff provides just under three hours of direct care per resident, split between practical nurses and aides. This team runs several specialized clinical tracks designed for complex post-hospital recovery, including amputee rehab, tracheotomy care, and lung conditions. When state health department inspectors reviewed the books, they noted a few recurring issues regarding how the staff handles drug labeling, care plan updates, and resident assessments. The facility corrected those specific issues after each visit, and the state’s registry shows zero official enforcement actions or substantiated resident complaints against the operator.

Families looking over rehabilitation options on Long Island can use these public health files to see how the building operates. The state’s paperwork outlines a busy rehab hub that possesses wide clinical capabilities and a clear complaint history, balanced against standard clerical corrections and modest daily staffing levels.

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 406 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.
