Assisted Living Communities in Penfield, NY

"My mom moved to Crimson Ridge Meadows and they have a very friendly staff. The living quarters are on the larger side, and very clean, and we like the location. They have a dining area. They have hair salons. They have physical and occupational therapy that will come in, then you pay for it through your insurance. They have a podiatrist who will come into the facility using your insurance. They have full activities from 10 in the morning till 8 at night for them to use. They have two meeting rooms. They have a little TV section. They have a fireplace and a little living room-type section. They have a little sun room that goes out onto a courtyard that you can't get from the outside only from the building, so it's safe. And then they have an activities room. They have someone in the building 24 hours, that was a big deal overnight, like they have aides there overnight, too. They do have a little bit of transportation like two days a week to doctor's offices or grocery stores. As for the value, it's a little more expensive."

"The woman who gave us the tour at Seneca Lake Terrace spoke to us about the options and was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. She gave us a tour of the whole facility and let us know all the ins and outs of everything. It was a very thorough, really good introductory meeting to the facility. She was great. We were looking for a situation that might offer Mom more assistance with her care. The only issue was that it's a private pay facility and I think it's really important when folks are looking for alternatives that they know that, because the reason we had to finally step aside with our decision even if we liked the facility, is we didn't have enough time to figure out private pay funds for an extended stay there. So, mom would have moved in and gotten great care, but then we might not have been able to sustain that. So we just couldn't make that choice in the short period of time that we had to make the choice. They were willing to modify mom's diet and they certainly showed us everything. There was a haircut service. They just did not have an in-house medical. So, all mom's appointments would have had to be outside of the facility. That was pretty huge to us, too, having to take her to appointments instead of having a doctor come into the facility. We didn't end up moving her there, but they were super accommodating and got us right in for an interview. They had a room available (they don't have that many rooms), so you're having to make that decision rather quickly. Because again it was private pay, we couldn't secure the funds necessary to have a long-term stay there."

"I visited Heathwood in Penfield. They have a home theater, they take the residents out on field trips, and they also have a game room and dining facilities. They have a van that takes you wherever you want to go, like at the doctors' or the grocery store. I'd probably put my mom there if she had wanted to come to New York. They're assisted living, plus they have a memory care unit."

"Mom has moved into Legacy at Grande'Vie. It seems to be a nice place. She's got friends there. It seems to be very pleasant, and they take care of her pretty well. She likes the place. She is dying to get back home, but she can't be left unsupervised. She is kind of resistant to not being in her house, and that's about the only real problem with it. My mom doesn't complain about Legacy at Grande'Vie. The people are very happy and attentive. She seems very, very cheerful. As long as she's not thinking about home, she seems to be happy, active, and whatnot, so she is doing fine. Their food seems decent; it seems to be OK. With regards to the building itself, it's got some wear and tear on it, but it's clean. They seem to have some activities going on down there. They have a courtyard, benches, and a nice sitting place. The place looks spotless. The exit could use a little hallway carpet, but that's about it."

"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."

"The Northfield was a very nice facility. The staff was very good and accommodating, and we may use them in the future. The rooms were lovely and bigger than what we needed. "

"We moved our dad to Fairport Baptist Homes. It's been going well and they are taking good care of him. The staff is really helpful and kind. They check on my dad very often and they are providing him all the care that he needs. I tried the food and it's very good. They have activities such as bingo, music, arts and crafts, and animal visits. The cost is high unless families can qualify for Medicaid and my dad's on Medicaid, so I feel like he's getting a very good deal."

"I really like Highlands. I have been up there twice, and it happened to meet my needs. It is a buy-in community with three levels of care. You can get a one- or two-bedroom apartment with a den or a small kitchen, or cottage with a living room, kitchen, and a washer and dryer. The staff was very friendly, and the people were very nice. They really have a lot of facilities like a pool, work-out room and a library. They had a concert that day and took me around to show me the different places to eat. "

"I am overwhelmed at the love and caring and kindness that they give to my mom and to know how good she’s taken care of when I can’t be close to her is such a wonderful feeling there are some wonderful wonderful ladies that work there who I love very much and I am so thankful for"

"Heather Heights was a very nice facility. The tour experience was very positive. It was a very clean facility. The residents seemed happy. There seemed to be good things to do. The staff seemed to be abundant. They did not seem to have a shortage of staff. It was well organized. The staff who gave us a tour was excellent. Everybody seemed to know her. Everybody seemed to interact with her in a positive fashion. She was very good. She showed us the cafeteria, and they had a menu. They had a physical fitness therapy room. They had a cool ice cream fountain kind of thing that was open in the afternoons. They had a hairdresser. The staff also showed us the rooms themselves, which seemed very neat, orderly, and clean. She said that they had bird feeders, so the residents could see and hear the birds through the front window. They had patio spaces where residents could sit outside in the spring and summertime, which we kind of liked."

"I went to Cherry Ridge. It was a very nice community. It was very clean and well-kept. They had great facilities. We visited the cafeteria or dining hall. They had a wide variety of independent living floor plans, which was nice. The rooms were very clean. Excellent. The staff was very friendly, very helpful, and very informative. They had a nice living room, but they did not have a fitness room. They said that was going to be developed, but got canceled because of COVID. But the facilities that we saw were very nice."

"The only assisted living available is at their Cherry Ridge campus. It's beautiful, and very hard to get into. If you or a loved one can get into it, you'll be glad you chose St. Anns!"
