"Appleridge Senior Living was lovely. There were a lot of amenities that would service my personality. They had excellent services and dining. They were open to activities, they had an arts and crafts room, and a fitness group that got together to do low-impact stretching. The apartments were lovely and spacious. There are a lot of windows. They were very helpful, charming, polite, and willing to help. The meal plan seemed to be very generous. The price per day and the meal plan was a monthly fee and you get lunch and dinner. Then the breakfast came out of the buffet or you could go to the dining room and order breakfast for an extra charge of $10. The facility was fairly new. It was very clean. I went to three sections of the building, which included the recreation areas as well as the dining and lobbies. I went to three different styles of suites that you could rent. I looked at a one-bedroom, a one-bedroom with a den, and a two-bedroom. I met one of the residents and had a nice conversation with her in the hall. They had very comfortable, overstuffed chairs and seating groups in the hallway areas so you didn't have to entertain in your rooms. You could meet people out in the hall or sit down and play some games together."

"I looked at McGraw House, and it was lovely. I would highly recommend this one. It was independent living, and they each had their own apartments. You can have a studio or a one-bedroom; they've all been remodeled and were all very nice. All the people who lived there were wonderful. You could see that they were well-kept and clean. It was a very, very nice facility. It was right in town, so it was easy to get to. They had their own buses that take people all over the place all day long. They take them to their doctor's appointments or for shopping -- everything. They had several varieties of things to eat. It was not just one thing. They made the dishes so that they were nice. Everything looked good, and it was on a heated table, so they can help themselves how much they want or if they didn't like that, they can have something else. People there were just super. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Every one of them that I met, and I met about ten people when I was up there who were all very, very nice. They were also very nice to each other -- no arguing with each other -- and they weren't sitting around looking like they had nothing to do. They were working, they had papers to take care of, and it was very, very well-organized. I can't say enough about it. "

"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."
