Overview of Champlain Valley Senior Community

Tucked into a rural stretch of Willsboro in Essex County, Champlain Valley Senior Community serves a notably wide range of care needs from one location. The 81-bed facility, owned by Stonebrook Properties, LLC, operates as a nursing home, assisted living community, memory care unit, hospice provider, and respite destination simultaneously. Most errands and medical appointments require a car from this address (Walk Score 29), which is typical for rural upstate New York and worth factoring into visit planning.

The care structure is built around continuous staffing. Around-the-clock coverage supports a program roster that includes fall management, activities of daily living support, and secure facilities for residents with memory care needs. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab are on-site for post-acute recovery. Daily exercise and daily events anchor the activity calendar, meals are home-cooked, and transportation is available when residents or families need to get somewhere.

New York’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care provides inspection oversight for adult homes statewide. At Champlain Valley, inspection activity has focused on care planning and documentation as a compliance area.

For families in Essex County navigating layered or changing care needs, the breadth of what this facility covers under one roof is its clearest practical advantage. From short-term rehab and respite to long-term nursing care and hospice support, it operates across a wider care continuum than most single-designation facilities in the region.

Overview of Elderwood at Cheektowaga

Elderwood at Cheektowaga is a nursing home in Cheektowaga, NY, offering skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, memory care, palliative care and respite care.

Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management for residents with serious illness.

Respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs change over time, and respite care can suit a family that needs short term support.

The community also offers an oncology program for residents with cancer related care needs. Elderwood at Cheektowaga has 172 beds, making it a larger community where more residents, staff and usually programming are part of daily life.

Total nurse staffing is 3h 23m per resident/day, representing the recorded daily nursing time allocated per resident. Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help when savings may not cover a long stay, and private pay uses personal funds to pay for care.

Subacute rehabilitation and other rehabilitation services support residents working toward recovery while receiving care in the community. Patios, gardens and walking paths across the wooded grounds provide places to sit outdoors or take a walk.

Vina Bonner serves as director, and 225 Bennett Road Operating Company operates the community.

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.
