Woodland Pond at New Paltz is a nonprofit Continuing Care Retirement Community in New Paltz, New York, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing to residents ages 62 and older. Woodland Pond, Inc. operates the 40-bed community and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Woodland Pond holds a 4-star CMS overall rating. The standout figure is Staffing: total nursing hours run 5 hours and 44 minutes per resident per day, ranking the facility fifth out of 388 New York skilled nursing facilities and performing 64% above the state average. The 2-star Quality Measures rating reflects weaker long-stay clinical outcomes, including above-average rates of falls with major injury, pressure ulcers, and weight loss, which is a meaningful consideration for families evaluating long-term placement.
Since 2020, the facility has logged 24 citations across 18 inspections. At 1.3 citations per inspection, that rate is just below the New York average of 1.4, and no enforcement actions have been recorded. Three civil money penalties totaling $13,000 were issued in 2023–2024, well below the state average of $66,000.
Rehabilitation services and respite care are confirmed on-site. Dining options include gourmet, bistro, and private dining. As a CCRC, the community offers a planned continuum of care from independent living to skilled nursing within a single campus, with active resident and family councils.
The payer mix skews heavily toward Medicare, accounting for 77% of admissions. Average Medicare stay is 24 days, and the community-wide average is 122 days.
Woodland Pond at New Paltz is structured for short-term post-acute rehabilitation and for private-pay residents planning longer-term residence within a full continuum of care in Ulster County.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

This home is ranked 5th out of 387 homes in New York for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 1h 9m per day | ▲ 65% 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.
| 1h 40m per day | ▲ 117% 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.
| 2h 39m per day | ▲ 22% 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.
| 4h 54m per day | ▲ 55% 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.
| 18m per day | ▲ 160% 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.
| 46m per day | ▲ 64% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
