The Homestead at Rochester has everything that my sister needs. The price is reasonable. It's not as expensive as some of the other ones. I think it's very nice. Everybody seems nice, too. There are a lot of activities, so my sister won't be bored. The staff was very nice and courteous. There's a garden, so the residents can plant vegetables. It's kind of on the edge of town, but there's a shuttle service. My sister will have a one-bedroom apartment. The bedroom was larger than the other ones that we had looked at, so she has some nice bedroom furniture. The size of the bedroom was adequate.

The nurse manager is very degrading and belittling to staff; the good ones don't stay long. Mom had been there for a little over a year and frequently was not given her pain medication. When brought to nurse manager's attention, she was very dismissive and insisted Mom was receiving all her medications. Yet Mom was regularly in intolerable pain. Medications ordered for Mom seemed to "disappear" So happy to have moved Mom to a new caring, qualified facility.

My mother is at The Homestead at Rochester. It's been pretty good. The food was alright, nothing great, nothing terrible. She started in independent living, then she went to memory care. They have all sorts of stuff, but she doesn't use them. They have everything you'd expect. There are meals, exercise, clubs, bingo, and all the normal stuff. Their rooms have multiple sizes. My mom is in a room that fits her needs. I suggest better communication between the nurses and the actual attendants.

We looked at The Homestead at Rochester. It would meet our needs; we just aren't quite there yet. I think the thing that we like the least is it's really big almost intimidating for my aunt. But because it's so big, there were lots of different activities. We like the private grounds and the walking trails and things around it and the ability to be outside in the summertime. They have gardens and things that the residents can participate in. The staff was very nice and very helpful. They had a long list of activities, programs, and excursions outside the facility that they go to. There was just a lot of activity there. The upkeep and cleanliness were excellent. We liked that there were lots of options for sizes, styles, and layouts of apartments. We saw multiple different units and we liked that.

We have chosen The Homestead at Rochester. We thought it was a very nice community. We were very pleased with the responsiveness of the people there. The marketing director was very, very accommodating to us as far as making appointments. She also took a second tour with our children, and we appreciated that. It seems to be a very busy community. There are lots of activities there, and there are lots of public spaces where you can sit or you can use the room if you want to. We thought that was very nice. As far as the meals, they have a continental breakfast every day. That's complimentary. The units themselves are very nice and clean. They're all very well kept up. The whole place is very well kept, and the units are very clean. They're as spacious as you can get in a place like that. They seem to be adequate as far as the space that you need to live in. There are many, many places around the community where you can go and sit and socialize or you can go and sit and read or whatever you want to do. I compared it to being on a cruise ship. Your cabin on a cruise ship is not very big, but there are lots of places you can go and things you can do, so I thought, this is about the same way. There are different several units to choose from. They have one-bedroom and two-bedroom, so it is very nice. We have an option there as far as what unit we wanted to be in.

The staff that we have met at The Homestead at Rochester were really pleasant, accommodating, informative, and easy to work with. We saw the menu and they have a little cafe type thing as well that we toured. We saw what food they had in the cases, and their pricing. We were looking at the independent living, they offer a continental breakfast with a few hot food, so it seemed pretty inclusive. We have other friends who live there and they think it's very good. The facility was in very good condition. We didn't see anything that looks worn, it was very clean. The layout is a large unit with several buildings, but it was very easy to navigate. There was signage and everything. There are several main reasons why we're choosing this place, like the price that they charge. The pricing was in line or less with other places that didn't offer as much, and it's close to our house.
