These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 82% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 23 findings, above the NY average of 7.6. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Lilac Manor (operating as Wesley Gardens) receives overwhelmingly negative feedback from families, with frequent reports of severe neglect, poor hygiene, and chronic understaffing. While a small subset of reviewers praises individual staff members or the rehab department, the majority of accounts describe a facility struggling with basic care standards, communication failures, and a lack of responsiveness to resident needs.

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was in the chair from 6am to to 10pm at night. I had to come and complete her care on my own, because the nurse and supervisor said, “We don’t have any CNA’s””
“I am a retired CNA, turned private duty caregiver, hired by a family to be sure their loved one with dementia was cared for properly. Unless it was myself doing it, she was NOT.”
“My sister was at Wesley Gardens and they resisted and delayed discharging her for 6 extra days at $500/day. Communication between staff is terrible. Different answers. Very short staffed.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
