The Best Assisted Living Communities in Monroe County, NY

"My mother lived in Crimson Ridge Meadows for two years. It's very nice and very clean. The staff was very good. They would do outings, have entertainment people come in and do events, have family nights and different little functions. The dining area was really nice, and the food was excellent. The best thing for me was the location, because it was minutes from my home, and affordability. "

"My visit was great. They were very willing to work with us too. They had like a separate studio apartment with a nice, good-sized bathroom. Also, they had a really beautiful dining room. The chef was there and we talked to him. You order off a menu like you're in a restaurant. It was very nice. We talked to some of the people there, they were very happy. We like this place, but my mother is not ready to go. They had various activities like arts and crafts and puzzles. They were busy doing stuff. I would recommend this community to others. "

"I visited the Linden House when my mother was going to move here from Texas, she needed assisted living and did not want to enter into a large facility. Linden House is just like being at home in a family environment with just 2 residents living there with a live in care provider, this is just a wonderful way to have the personal attention you would want for your loved one. I highly recommend this residential care community."

"Seabury Woods looked small. I liked the apartments. They had religious services, art classes, a walking club, pet therapy, and music programs. The dining room was intimate. It was not too big. "

"I am the daughter of a resident that has been in this facility for almost 6 years and i can honestly say that since the day she moved into the facility things have definitely became not so great .....the medical attention that my mom needed had been ignored on a couple of occasions they told my mother just recently in the last 2 months she didnt need an ambulance(i heard this myself) after my mom complaining of shoulder pain and shortness of breathe for 2 weeks and me making threats to the facility did they call an ambulance finally. And the outcome to that is that my mom almost lost her life behind the facilities lack of empathy.......my moms heart was failing at only 20 beats . so the pains in her shoulder when she would complain about it was mini heart attacks! For 2 weeks my moms needs were ignored even after my mom asked to be taken in ambulance.....and this isnt the only. Incident......fractured pelvis that was ignored for 3 weeks but thats a whole other paragraph....needles to say i am now working on getting my mom out....it once was a very nice place. . the food is limited there are barely any activities and those only include a wii game coloring sometimes bingo ....bed bugs clothing doesnt get returned most of time....i can go on and on.This is things not only has my mom told me but things i have heard and seen myself with how the staff and facility is ran from 6 years ago til present....."

"St. John's Meadows is mostly independent. There is the part that's assisted but not much. I have an apartment that is a fairly good size and I cook my own meals. I don't go down for dinner. They have a lot of activities, bridge, euchre, all sorts of things. I have not participated too much because I haven't been here very long. It's a very nice place. The people are friendly here. If you have any questions about anything, they certainly are willing to answer and it's a very nice facility all around. "

"The Landing of Brighton was very nice, but I think my mother needs a higher level of care than they were able to provide. It’s a very clean, very nice place, and the people were friendly. I saw an activity list, but I did not see activities. The rooms were a very nice size, and the staff was very nice. One thing at The Landing; their dining room was like a restaurant. For some people it could be very nice, but for a lot of older people I think it’s very hard to make too many choices looking at a menu. "

"Norton Place Home was very pretty. If I decided I needed to take a vacation, that would be great for my father-in-law, but you have to be able to climb stairs to live there. It was very small and it only had three beds. The staff member during the tour seemed nice. With the potential of a maximum of three residents, there is not going to be a whole lot offered. The cleanliness was very nice, but the layout was just not appropriate for him."

"My Mother has been living at RPH for about 5 years now. She lives on the 4th floor, the people with the greatest needs live on this floor. She has advanced Alzheimer's, which means she no longer recognizes her husband, myself, my siblings, her grandchildren or her great grandchildren. I have read some of the past reviews. When touring a facility it is hard to imagine what is important and what is not. I can tell you the food, the rooms, and the neighborhood are not important. The love and care ALL the staff show towards my Mother is what is truly important. This is NOT an easy job, and takes skilled and highly trained aides and nurses to deal with people with cognitive issues. But at RPH, they do it with ease. As for the food, my mother has gained 10 lbs since moving there, so she thinks the food is great. The building is old, the rooms are old, but "run down?" ... this seems a bit harsh… and “unsafe neighborhood”, this seems harsh as well. My mother thinks she's living in a 1st class hotel!"

"Nice faclilty with caring staff. Really try to help Alzheimer's patients. Good activites program for those who are willing to particpate. Food & dining services neededi imrpoved - about three years go. Nonprofit operated. "

"They have renovated alot of the building. The brand new rooms look great and modern. The staff were all friendly and helpful. They have a big game room with pool tables, games and a seating area to watch movies. The hair salon there is great for my aunt who gets her hair done every month. "

"Cloverwood Senior Living's apartments are very upscale. The place is luxurious, beautiful, and well-decorated. They have a common room, a game room, and an eating area. The library that they have there is beautiful. I would go there in a minute if I could. All of that was nice. It's like a classy hotel. My friend lives in Cloverwood. They have an outdoor space, but I only saw it through a window, I didn't go out there."

"We liked Glenmere Assisted Living & Memory Care because of a couple of things. One was they had all the licenses we needed and then once a person needs to move to a nursing home level, that person would get priority at their nursing home facility. The other big factor was they'll accept Medicaid. The staff was great. They were very responsive and they had everything like all sorts of activities. They do gardening and they had a nice outdoor patio. The place seemed to have a lot of natural light. The rooms were nice and I liked the in-room ability to shower."
