Overview of Pine Haven Home

Pine Haven Home is a 120 bed nursing home and skilled nursing community in Philmont, NY. It offers memory care, hospice care, respite care, rehabilitation services, and short term rehabilitation. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers supervision in a setting designed for residents living with dementia.

Hospice care supports residents who need end of life care. Respite care provides a short term stay when a usual caregiver needs time away, and rehabilitation services give residents access to recovery focused care without making the arrangement a long term placement. The 120 bed capacity accommodates both ongoing nursing care and short term stays.

Pine Haven Home opened in 1953 and is operated by Pine Haven Operating. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families payment paths that include public coverage or direct payment.

Pine Haven Home may be a good fit for someone who needs nursing care, memory care, hospice care, rehabilitation, or a temporary respite stay within the same community. A Walk Score of 41 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride; a resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for those trips.

Overview of Laurelwood at the Highlands

Laurelwood at the Highlands sits on Hahnemann Trail in Pittsford, Monroe County, sharing a campus with Highlands Living Center, a larger care community that occupies the same grounds. Operated by Highland Community Development Corp., Laurelwood itself is licensed as an enriched housing program with 75 beds and an assisted living designation. The surrounding neighborhood scores a 64 on walkability, landing it in moderately walkable range where some errands are reachable on foot but a car handles most.

The care side is straightforward: licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are on site, and rehabilitation services are available. Dining stands out a little; residents have access to two on-site restaurants rather than a single dining room, which gives the mealtime experience more flexibility than most 75-bed communities can offer.

Regulatory oversight falls to the New York Department of Health’s Office of Aging and Long Term Care. Inspection findings have centered on medication management and care planning and documentation.

The picture here is defined primarily by what the care structure and setting confirm: a mid-size enriched housing program in a campus environment, with licensed nursing, on-site rehabilitation, and a two-restaurant dining arrangement in a moderately walkable Pittsford neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in New York

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.

Does New York Medicaid cover memory care?

New York Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 374 memory care communities in New York. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in New York?

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, 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 memory care communities in New York?

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.
