Independent Living Facilities in Rochester, New York
"Holiday Fleming Point was our second choice, it's just the other place was a little closer to me and my brothers. That was the main decider between the two. The staff members were great. They were very professional, very friendly, and very helpful. T..."
"The Gables of Brighton was very well taken care of on the outside and the Inside. The studio apartment I will move into has a kitchen that's two and a half times larger than the kitchen I have in my present apartment. There's like a half-split wall t..."
"I like Legacy at Clover Blossom the best among the facilities that I've visited. It had many activities, the staff seemed to have a handle on trying to give everybody that's there a pleasant life, so that's good. It's in a good location and it has a ..."
"The Village at Unity was nice. Their food was the best. I had a cauliflower crust pizza, and it was delicious. The rooms were kind of the same, but they were fine. The thing I like about them is that they are nice and bright. They weren't dark and gl..."
"St. John's Meadows was nice. It was hard to learn your way around, but they had a pool and a woodshop, which were great. We had a meal there, and it was good. It was an ala carte thing. I had grilled cheese...."
"Brickstone at St Johns is very nice. It's a smaller community. They're more intimate. They're more of a family-oriented community as opposed to a facility that is high rise and has 100 or more persons living in their apartments. Each apartment is dif..."
"My mother-in-law has been at St. Ann's Community at Chapel Oaks for a year now. It really has everything that you would need. The staff is very accommodating, very friendly, and supportive. The food is good. The apartments are nice. The facility is v..."
"Valley Manor is excellent. Our friends live there, and they're very happy, and that's why we looked there. It has different sizes of apartments that one can go into and that was a good thing for us because we'd like something a little larger when we'..."
"My mother has done really well at Beatrice Place. She's with people her age who have the same interests, and they provide some group activities, dinners, and potlucks suppers. There is a bunch of residents who will find something to do and then will ..."
"Legacy at Cranberry Landing was a lovely community. It was very welcoming when you come in, it was very warm, and very cozy. The independent living was lovely, and they have a two-bedroom available. In terms of the location, it wasn't that far from m..."
"Villa Capri Senior Apartments was very nice and modern. The drawback for my mother was that they had shared laundry facilities, and she didn't like that. They had too long hallways. It was a very nice place, but it just wasn't for my mom. They have a..."
"Seneca Towers is fine and I like the privacy they offer. However, before I moved in, I told them I don't want a place over sixth floor because that's the limit of the fire department ladder, but still they put me on the 20th floor. Their elevators ar..."
"I have moved into Castle Pointe. It is well run. It's clean. Good food. It's quiet. There are a lot of things available to do. There are activities like bingo, car rides, going to the mall, etc. They keep this place immaculate. They're always cleanin..."
"My mom and I toured this community. The sales director went out of her way to make the tour incredibly special. The community is wonderful and you can tell the residents are genuinely happy. Although my mom chose to stay in Buffalo where she is origi..."
"We went to Cherry Ridge. We ate there about three years ago and the food was good. We were visiting a patient there. So I didn't try the food this time, but the facility was very nice, and very well kept up. We were looking at the cottages there and ..."
"My parents and I toured Chapel Oaks for the grandfather. We were pretty surprised at how luxurious and elegant it was. There's a little gift shop, a barber, fine dining! It's really nice here, I'd want to live here!..."
"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, kitch..."

When I went to Holiday Fleming Point, the kitchen area only had a refrigerator and a sink, so it wasn't laid out for anybody to do cooking in the apartment. They have a community kitchen where...
