Elderwood Village At Westwood

This is one of the first facilities that I visited, and I was actually very impressed. They offer a lot more than one would think. Grandpa is really happy here because there are people to socialize with, and he gets to make new friends. The staff seems to promote this, since they have a lot of events for the people who live there and their families. We recently went to a "speed meeting" event that they had. It was like speed dating, but for the families of residents. The healthcare at Elderwood is also top notch. The nurses get to know the patients all very well, and they are prompt and curteous when he needs care. They also have people who clean his room for him and check up on him periodically so he is never alone very long. The actual facility is also very nice. It is modernly decorated, but with a style that older folks seem to like. He got to choose the color of his curtains and a few other things when he moved in. This really made him feel at home.

My grandmother has been staying at Elderwood Village at Westwood independent living facility for about five years now. Right from the start the staff was friendly and welcoming to both her and our family. Living at Westwood my grandmother gets to maintain her independence while having the benefit of 24 staff to help her if she needs it. As far as the community goes, I really can't say enough about it. Outside of the organized activities the facility offers, my grandmother has found a whole new circle of friends to spend time with and go shopping with. It's nice to know that she's not alone when the family isn't around and that she's happy and secure. Her apartment is just the right size for her to maintain and allows her to decorate the way she wants to, it still feels like home to her. Overall, our family is very happy with our experience with this facility.

My grandmother lived in this facility. The staff couldn't have been kinder, both to me and my loved one. The staff in the dining room were always especially nice. they always remembered our names and had a kind word for my relative. The facility itself is just georgeous. my grandmother had the one bedroom apartment with a kitchenette. I thought it was a good size. She never really agreed. it was much smaller than the home she was used to. we very much enjoyed the backyard, just beautiful. I think they could have had more activities or more varied activities. i think the ladies like the excerise and movie night. Although, the West seneca location wasn't much help when my grandmother started forgetting. She wasn't alowed to stay after her dementia increased. The said that the open campus was a risk to her with her forgetting so much. I really wish they had a 'seasons memory care' center at that location. i think having to move only confused her more. i wish they could have done something more.
