Overview of Our Lady of Consolation Nursing and Rehabilitative Care Center

Our Lady of Consolation Nursing and Rehabilitative Care Center is a 345-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility with 24-hour staffing at 111 Beach Drive in West Islip, New York, operated by a non-profit in Suffolk County. The facility provides skilled nursing, short- and long-term rehabilitation, memory care, and respite services. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

CMS rates the facility 3 stars, with a staffing sub-rating 48.1 percent above New York average, the strongest of the four sub-ratings. Nurse hours run 3h 42m per resident daily, modestly above the 3h 29m state average. The health inspection sub-rating runs 29.6 percent below state average, driven in part by a July 2025 inspection that identified 16 deficiencies, a sharp increase from one deficiency in each of the two prior years, covering quality of care, nursing staff sufficiency, nutrition and hydration, and life safety systems. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or substantiated complaints are present. Occupancy stands at 83 percent, below New York’s 88.3 percent average.

Clinical programs include neurological care, orthopedic and amputee rehabilitation, a Pathway to Home discharge program, and therapeutic recreation, a broad post-acute offering for a community of this size.

Our Lady of Consolation Nursing and Rehabilitative Care Center is built for residents seeking large-scale non-profit skilled nursing or specialized rehabilitation in Suffolk County, with strengths in post-acute and complex care programming.

Overview of United Helpers Canton Nursing Home

United Helpers Canton Nursing Home is a 96-bed skilled nursing facility in Canton, New York, offering rehabilitation services, respite care, and on-site nurse aide training through its parent organization’s broader network of behavioral health and community services in St. Lawrence County. The facility is operated by United Helpers Management Company, Inc., a voluntary nonprofit that has served the community for over 50 years. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, with 72% of admissions arriving under Medicare for short-term rehabilitation.

The facility holds a 4-star overall CMS rating, roughly 27% above the New York average, driven by a 5-star Health Inspection rating and a 4-star staffing score. Total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 43 minutes per resident per day — about 7% above the New York average of 3 hours and 29 minutes — with no contractor labor reported in Q4 2025. The Quality Measures rating is 1 star, 24% below the state average, reflecting notably poor long-stay outcomes, including a UTI rate of 8.8% compared with a New York average of 1.4% and antipsychotic use more than twice the state rate.

Across three inspections since 2019, the facility recorded 17 total citations — 31% above the New York average — though only three inspections were conducted compared to a state average of nine. The most recent inspection, in August 2024, cited medication labeling, electrical and gas equipment maintenance, and sprinkler system testing; all deficiencies were corrected. No enforcement actions have been taken, and no complaints have been substantiated over the seven-year period.

Short-stay rehabilitation outcomes are a clear strength. Rehospitalization after a skilled nursing stay is at 17.5%, 15% better than the New York average, and 60.6% of short-stay residents successfully return home — 20% above the state average.

United Helpers Canton Nursing Home is best suited for residents seeking Medicare-funded post-acute rehabilitation in St. Lawrence County, with a resident profile weighted toward patients transitioning back to the community. However, families should review the facility’s discharge pattern and short-stay quality measures before making a placement decision.

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 44 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.
