Elderwood of Uihlein at Lake Placid provides nursing home, skilled nursing, memory care, palliative care, and respite care in Lake Placid, NY. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for residents who may be at risk of wandering. Palliative care focuses on comfort during serious illness, and respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time to travel or recover.
The community has 156 beds. Residents therefore live in a setting with more residents, staff, and programming than they would find in a smaller home. Secure memory care and respite care can suit someone living with dementia whose primary caregiver needs temporary support. Short-term rehabilitation and long-term care therapy are available, with a rehab gym providing a dedicated space for therapy without arranging transportation elsewhere.
Private rooms give each resident an individual room, and pets are allowed for residents who want to continue living with a pet. A wheelchair-accessible greenhouse, landscaped grounds with mountain views, paved walking paths, and a chapel provide specific spaces for outdoor activity, gardening, walking, or worship. The area has a Walk Score of 62, meaning some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still be able to handle certain errands independently.
Total nurse staffing is 2h 44m per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time assigned per resident. Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Rachel Tart serves as director, and the community is operated by 185 Old Military Road Operating Company.
