Assisted Living Communities in Penfield, NY

"It was kind of my pick. They seemed to be very caring, and the residents were all having a good time and were very happy to be there. The staff just seemed very caring. Three or four different people came up to me, and I know they are just doing their job, but I used to manage an independent living facility, so I've been around these folks and the people who work with them. Some are good at it, some are not, and they seemed to be very good at it. It was very clean and very nice. "

"My mom is in the memory care at Crimson Ridge Gardens. It is outstanding. I would send my parents there again in a heartbeat. The people are very nice. They are extremely caring and very attentive with the people that are living there. I get the feeling that they take them on as if they are their own family because they treat them that way."

"We chose it for my father-in-law because we have had another family member that was in there and they provide excellent care. It's an assisted living complex with a memory care unit. I've witnessed how they interact with him and how they take care of him. They keep him occupied and busy, and he's at least, interacting with people his age. He's been in their assisted living for a month now. If there are any concerns or questions the staff always call. They just also really take good care of him. They have a calendar of what they do each day. They have an exercise thing every day, and they have a snack and chat, where they can communicate with one another. Today they're having a spider toss and an afternoon walk then they news and game shows in the evening. The place is only 5 minutes away from us. The other night, because he likes to watch sports and he sometimes has trouble working the remote and he couldn't find the baseball game, I ran down and got it on for him. It's that close so if he can't get something, I can always get down there and help him. The hospital's also probably five minutes away, and there's a bunch of restaurants in Geneva nearby. "

"We're pursuing Heathwood Assisted Living. It's a little bit more expensive than the other place we toured, but they had nice facilities. We liked it a lot. They didn't have any memory care openings, but they have assisted living with enhanced care. It seemed like it was a relatively new place and clean. It seemed quiet but it had a lot of facilities, they had a piano, he had a nice dining room and a nice area where they do crafts and so forth, so they had a bunch of stuff. They had a bunch of opportunities for mom to do and stuff to keep her brain going. They had a variety of types of rooms, we were looking at studios, which is just basically one room. They didn't have any cooking facilities other than a microwave and a small fridge, and I don't think we'd want anything more than that for her anyway. It was very nice, it's plenty big for her. They'll provide furniture to get us started because we don't have any at the moment, so that was helpful too. The staff who gave us the tour was very personable, knowledgeable and we felt very comfortable with her. I thought she did a good job of explaining things, she took us on a tour, showed off several different room configurations, and so forth. I think she was very accommodating to us. When we did the tour, they were still kind of closed for COVID, so the dining wasn't open. We've gone back since then, and it is open now. But at the time we did our tour, they weren't doing the activities because they had had a couple of people with COVID."

"Everything at Grand Vie was satisfactory. I was looking for a friend. For medical and financial reasons, it was adequate for his needs. The people were very good. The rooms were satisfactory. Generally, the atmosphere seem good. We did have lunch there, which was adequate. We did not decide to pursue Grand Vie. "

"We have found a place for Mom. It's a new place, and it's called Ashley Woods at Penfield. It had the right combination really of everything else. Everybody offers pretty much the same amenities, but this had a good price to go along with all the amenities, and being that it's new, even though the company is doing business for a long time, it is everything we wanted. It met all the requirements that we felt we needed. The staff seemed to be very knowledgeable. A couple of people we spoke to had been in the business for years now, and they seemed very knowledgeable. Another reason is no apartment is far from an elevator, so there's never a lot of walking for any of the residents. Everything was pristine. The rooms were beautiful. They were all one-bedroom apartments that we looked at. A few were bigger just because of where they're located, but still very nice. There's a little kitchenette, a living room, and a bedroom. They have no pool, but they have all the other things. They have a salon, medical facilities, three meals a day, and a place where you can eat whenever you want."

"We liked everything at The Northfield. We sampled the food, and everything was good. The staff was friendly. It looked like they had an interesting monthly plan for the activities with lots of stuff and shopping trips. "

"Fairport is a nice facility, and the people are very nice. My father-in-law said the food is good, and experience is good too. It’s a fairly modern facility, it's clean, and the care seems really good. They have normal activities, it’s a nursing home, and the patients aren’t all together with it. "

"The Highlands at Pittsford is a very good facility. I would rate this place very highly. They have a variety of different kinds of apartments. They have one or two bedroom, some with more amenities than others. They have a lot of supporting activities there. "

"Heather Heights had very nice rooms and the residents were seemingly happy. They offer in-house physicians that are experts with the elderly. It's a very cheery place. The staff were very engaged and friendly. They clean the room daily, but they only deep clean every two weeks and that concerned me a little bit. Also, they do not accept Medicaid. It's direct pay only. Other than that, they were great."

"After visitng St. Ann's Community, I decided to tour Cherry Ridge to see if that was also a good fit for my grandmother. WOW! This place is gorgeous. It's very new, clean, and is well-maintained. The staff are super friendly, and the residents are always social and hanging out!"

"My mother in law has spent a few weeks in St. Ann's Rehab Facility and has received wonderful care from a host of compassionate and skilled caregivers. Though she has some memory issues at the moment, they have demonstrated great patience and kindness toward her. The cleanliness, food, and attention given have all been terrific. She is about to move into the Nursing Home and we are hopeful this level of care and concern will continue. We are very grateful to all the staff (nurses, therapists, and aides) who have been so kind. "

"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."
