St. Ann's Community is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility requirements and time limitations. Medicaid coverage for long-term care is subject to individual financial eligibility criteria as determined by New York State. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (585) 697-6000 to discuss specific payment options, private pay arrangements, and any additional insurance considerations that may apply to a given situation.
When considered against national averages, St. Ann's Community performs above the standard in all four CMS-rated categories. The national overall average rating is 3.0 stars, and this facility's overall rating of 4 stars places it in the above-average tier. With 470 certified beds, the facility is notably larger than many nursing homes across the country, which can affect staffing ratios, resource availability, and the range of services offered. The facility's non-profit status distinguishes it from for-profit operators and may reflect a different organizational framework for service delivery and financial management. All CMS data is updated periodically, and ratings are subject to change based on ongoing inspections, staffing reports, and quality measure assessments submitted to the federal government.

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
