Is Elderwood at North Creek a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 2 out of 5 stars overall, below the New York average of 3.1. Inspectors issued 12 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time.

Paying for care at Elderwood at North Creek: Medicare and Medicaid

Elderwood at North Creek 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. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

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.
