Overview of Brothers of Mercy Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Brothers of Mercy Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is an assisted living community in Clarence, near Buffalo in Erie County, New York. The 240-bed home is owned by Teresa Dillsworth and operated by Brothers of Mercy Nursing Home Company, Inc. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, offering families multiple options for covering care costs. The community’s current occupancy rate is 88%. Residents stay an average of 108 days, including both short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term residents.

Total nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 15 minutes per resident each day. Residents are supported by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, and 24-hour staffing. That level of hands-on daily support makes the home a practical choice for residents recovering from hospitalization or needing ongoing skilled care.

Rehabilitation is a major part of the care offered by the facility. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available on-site. Outpatient therapy services are also available to residents with specialized rehabilitation needs.

State inspections have cited issues involving life safety systems, including egress pathways and sprinkler maintenance. The facility has also addressed quality-of-care matters in daily living support, medication management, and pressure ulcer care. These issues were corrected promptly. Families considering the facility should ask how life safety and care processes are managed daily.

The facility also offers activity calendars and spiritual care services. Clarence’s location earned a score of 51 on the Walk Score. Some errands can be done on foot, but most trips require driving. That setting suits families who value proximity to Buffalo’s medical resources with a quieter neighborhood feel.

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.
