"the best care I have ever seen in a memory unit. The staff and cna's are top knotch and very caring and compassionate. The activities staff keep the residents engaged and provide and all round family atmosphere. I cannot say enough good about this facility. My mother was there over a year and I also was very present on a daily basis and saw much. "

"Sayre Health Center provides total care. Mother is in a private room and it's beautiful. It isn't just a nursing home, it's for rehabilitation and all sorts of things they have people in for. The Alzheimer's and dementia patients are right in with the regular population which is what I like because that keeps her more active and she will cope to these normal people as well. The food is pretty good. I've had the food myself. The staff is very good and very helpful as far as I can see. If anything happens, they always notify me immediately and if they can't get me they call one of my other brothers or my sister. They're very quick to respond. If I have a question, they call me back right away. They have cookies and coffee during the day. They also have a snack cart that comes around in the afternoon. They quite often have popcorn night or movie night with popcorn. They really do a nice job, I think, much better than the other place that we were in but with a different setup. They have lots of groups that come in for singing, band concerts, choral concerts and country western bands. They have trips to the casino, trips to the mall and trips to see the Christmas lights. They have bingo and book club. I like the place. My whole family is quite happy with it. "

Welcome to Falls Home Assisted Living Center!

It is our goal to provide our community with a professional, caring dedicated staff, respecting the dignity and individuality of those we serve while at the same time enriching the quality of their lives. The Assisted Living Program (ALP) is a 40 bed facility which is licensed by the NYS Department of Health.

"My relative will be moving into Longview, an Ithacare Community. They have a lot of services and a lot of activities for the guests, so I think that's great. They also have a partnership with Ithaca College. They have shuttles to concerts and other cultural events at the college, so that's awesome. There's a trail that they can walk on with their dogs. It's a nonprofit, so they had just started a moderate-income program, which is helpful for people who don't have a lot of money. So those are all great things. I don't have anything negative to say. My relative hasn't moved in yet, but it seems like it's going to be great. The rooms are efficiency style. There's a bedroom with a big bathroom with walk-in showers. There's a small cooktop and a dorm fridge. I think their food is good. Every day there's a long list of activities. They have clubs, games, and shuffleboard in the hallway. They have a small pool, and they have exercise classes in the pool. They also have a small exercise room, so they offer fitness classes. The staff are great."

Sherwood Retirement and Personal Care Home is a "private pay" home established in 1999 by owners and administrators Jim and Karen Sherwood, who reside in the home as well. Initially we had one wing, our East wing and later in 2003 we expanded our home to include a West wing to give us a total of 24 private /semi-private bedrooms. This expansion also included a formal dining room, sitting room, parlor, living room, family room and additional laundry space. We maintain a commercial well and septic system for the personal care home and we are currently licensed for 27 residents. We are situated on 38 acres of land 1.9 miles East of the red light on Route 414 in Canton, Pa. Our facility is all ground floor access and living, has spacious flat maintained grounds, many patios, wide sidewalks and sits a good ways back away from the main highway. We believe we're the right choice when considering a retirement and personal care home. We want to help you make the right decision for your individual situation.

"I was very skeptical of my grandmother going into any sort of facility. I am of the mindset that these facilities are often not run properly and the staff is not competent. That being said, I was pleasently surprised with Bridges Cornell Heights. My grandmother is not in the worst shape, but her mind has gone somewhat over the years. But she is mobile, which helps. The facility is "nice" meaning that it's not overly luxurious but it is certainly pleasent. The biggest concern I had for her was the staff and this is where my expectations were really blown away. I found the staff to be extremely competent and most importantly, kind and understanding. They were patient with with her always even when she had no clue where she was. Overall, it changed my opinion of facilities like this and I have no direct concerns for her well being. "
