Is Northwoods Rehab and Nursing Center at Moravia a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the New York average of 3.1. Inspectors issued 20 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 1 out of 5; for long-term residents, 3 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Paying for care at Northwoods Rehab and Nursing Center at Moravia: Medicare and Medicaid

Northwoods Rehab and Nursing Center at Moravia is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet New York's income and asset rules.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.
