Overview of Elderwood at Wheatfield

Elderwood at Wheatfield is a 123-bed skilled nursing community in Niagara Falls, New York, offering skilled nursing, subacute rehabilitation, memory care, oncology support, palliative care, and respite care. It is operated by 2600 Niagara Falls Boulevard Operating Company, LLC, as part of the Elderwood network. Elderwood at Wheatfield is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

The facility holds a 2-star overall CMS rating, with a 1-star quality measures rating driving the gap below the New York average. Across 21 inspections since 2019, the facility recorded 31 total citations — 138% above the New York average of 13 — along with 156 complaints, nearly double the state norm. One enforcement action related to quality of care was issued in March 2021.

The August 2024 inspection identified 22 deficiencies. These were related to infection control, resident rights, and life safety systems, and all of the issues were corrected by October 2024. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions appear in the record. One metric stands out positively: only 24% of inspections resulted in citations, compared to a New York average of 44%.

Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 18 minutes per resident per day, about 5% below the state average, with CNA hours notably lower than peers. Physical therapist hours offset this partially, running 29% above the New York average — a relevant figure for the short-stay population the facility primarily serves.

The facility’s rehabilitation gym, subacute rehabilitation program, oncology services, and palliative care capacity distinguish it from general SNF peers in Niagara County. The facility’s occupancy rate is 93%, above the New York average of 88%, suggesting consistent local demand. The average length of stay of residents is around 108 days, with an admission mix that runs roughly three-quarters private pay and Medicare.

Elderwood at Wheatfield is best studied for seniors looking for short-term post-acute stays.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +65% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	41m per day	▼ 3% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	44m per day	▼ 4% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	1h 37m per day	▼ 26% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	2h 38m per day	▼ 17% State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	12m per day	▲ 65% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	25m per day	▼ 11% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day
