3 of us had to wait 35 minutes to get assistance to bathroom…I had to call main #…was told by aid who finally came that they had to clear dirty dishes from room,first.
When I asked if dirty dishes were more important than patients,I was told by aid, "that’s the way it is"…50% staff was helpful,rest were surly or rude
Rehab helped but that was only 2hrs. a day…6 days a week….could not find way to get outside for fresh air..Tried to get to dining area for dinner,made request..no one came to wheel me…meal served in room like they never planned to move me.
Wi-Fi poor or non-exsistant…good cable station selection..activities seem to be meeting in front of big tv and sleeping in wheelchair.
Can not discribe food,roast beef was processed into rectangles with no moisture…fish had no lemon or herbs(don’t think few drops of lemon juice would damage the elderly)…often served items,types of soda,just to get rid of it…not what was requested…don’t like meal,theyll give you PB&J
Meals often came w/o pepper packets(Bring your own pepper)
Small refrigerator in room…hadn’t been cleaned in ????
Residents not treated with dignity or respect by short staffed weekend crew.

I visited Oakwood recently and I have to say that I was impressed by the positive changes that have been made there. New owners took it over about a year or two ago and you can tell. I visited when the old owners had it and it was horrible. Now residents look and sound happier. The new owners are putting money into the building by replacing the elevator, polishing the floors, painting, etc. I was told that they have plans to remodel the dining room, activities room and lounges. They are noticable changing out older furniture in the rooms with more modern dressers, nightstands, beds and lamps. The staff is excellent. Three staff members really stood out to me. Amanda, Jeanette and Karen were extremely friendly and helpful. The dining room crew are accommodating and make homemade meals. This place has really turned itself around. If you need a place that takes Medicaid this is one of the few assisted living’s that will. Check it out…you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

My mother-in-law says the food is good. It appears to be very clean. She has attended one or two things. I think some of it is timing. She doesn’t get out of her meal in time to go to some of the activities. So, she has tried one or two. I don’t think that’s as important to her as feeling safe and secure.

I did an in-person tour at Elderwood Assisted Living at Tonawanda. I was treated very well by the staff. Everyone was very kind and conscientious. The other one is like a country club, but this one is more like just regular apartments. It’s very well kept and very neat. Everyone was very helpful. They seemed to have a lot of activities for the seniors. They have something going on every single day. They have an ice cream parlor for them and a bunch of stuff. I found their rooms to be nice. Everything was very clean. They have rails all around the halls so that people have something to hold on to when they walk. I didn’t try any of their food or meet the kitchen staff or anything, but everything was very nicely appointed. Nothing was gross or nasty. Everything was very well kept. They’re very upper-middle class, well-traveled expensive education. They like the finer things in life. The staff explained everything. She was very helpful. They were very friendly and very helpful. It felt very homey. The residents were a little older there than at the other one, but I wouldn’t say that it felt institutional.

Westfield Commons is beautiful. It looks like it came straight out of an HGTV episode, warm and welcoming , with several gathering spaces to accommodate a variety of social needs and preferences. There are a beautifully appointed game room for card and board game players, a parlor for quiet conversation or reading, a kitchen for cooking or baking, a larger gathering space for special events , (of which there are a never ending variety) and a charming community dining room.
The private rooms range in size from good sized studio apartments to larger, one bedroom apartments all of which are very nicely appointed with window and floor coverings in fashionable neutrals. There are spacious closets and a bathroom with a walk in shower equipped with grab rails.
The staff is highly professional, warm, friendly and very accomodating. Best of all, they are in good supply, there at a moment’s notice when the residents need them, not under scheduled as I’ve observed several other facilities. Quality personal care is the obvious top priority at Wheatfield Commons for which my very active and sharp-as-a-tack 99 year old mother, my family and I are eternally grateful.
I can’t recommend Wheatfield Commons and DePaul too highly!
