Elderwood Assisted Living at Hamburg

Caring110402350

My father was at Elderwood. He was only there for five days. It was a great place. The care was fine. The nurse was terrific. Their activities were great. He needed dialysis, they took him to that, and he got physical therapy regularly. The food was plain home-cooking, but it was very tasty. We had dinner with my father a few times, and the waitresses were very pleasant. We set his room pretty much to look like he is at home. It had plenty of room too. It had a cable TV and Wifi for his computer. It pretty much had all conveniences. Also, they had a full calendar of activities. There was something going on every hour.

Mom will be moving in to Elderwood next. We chose this facility because it was all inclusive as far as meals and so on and so forth. It was very clean with no smells. It had a very nice staff, and it was affordable. If she should need to go into a nursing home later on, they take care of all that. It is one block from my house. My mother loved the Victorian décor. They have a happy hour, and they play bingo. They have all kinds of games, and they take them on outings. They might go to the local casino, on shopping trips, and things like that. They do arts and crafts too. The only reason I didn’t give them the highest score is because it is expensive, and the room is very small.

I have heard good things about Elder Wood. It is in my hometown, so I was able to visit. I was not able to try the food, but the dining rooms were nice. The rooms were adequate, and they have an activity center where they can do arts and crafts, play bingo, and they have kids coming to sing.

I visited Elder Wood and took care of a lady who lived there for three years. The rooms were new, and everything was very nice. The service was good. However, they were understaffed. The only drawback was that there were only two old elevators from the first floor to the third floor in the old part of the building. I remember very well when one elevator broke down, it took a very long time to get the part for that one elevator, and the facility where the residents ate was on the second floor. So everyone on the first floor had to go up, and the ones on the third floor had to go down, and there was only one elevator to serve all those people. They virtually used their walkers to beat each other to the elevator so they could be first. It was really not good.

I wasn't really happy with Elderwood Village At Rosewood. In general, the facility itself did not feel light and airy. Both my parents have mobility issues and I feel like they would have trouble getting around their very long hallways. I also found the windows in their rooms to be very high. You would have to stand up to look outside. Again, because of my parents' limitations, they would be unable to do that. They do have activities for their residents, although most of them are unappealing. I was there one time and there was a woman lecturing about health risks of not having enough water-that's just boring! Sometimes they would have somebody come in and play the piano, but not everyday and not all the time. They definitely need to make their activities more exciting and engaging.

Rosewood Village is extremely clean, and the staff is very kind and helpful. There is a library, a community room with a baby grand piano, and a computer available for the residents to use. Each of the three floors has a few stations with fresh coffee, and at least two lounges with flat screen televisions. There are also kitchens available to the residents on each floor (most rooms are only equipped with a kitchenette - mini-fridge, microwave, and two electric burners). The dining room is clean and well decorated, and in addition to the daily specials for dinner, there are choices such as subs and salads available as an alternative every day. Resident's rooms are equipped with their own thermostat, so that the resident can set the temperature as high or low as they like. The room that I visited (my grandmother's) had a single bedroom, private bathroom, living room, and kitchenette, and had ample closet space for clothing and storage. Before she moved in, the facility put down new carpet and painted her apartment. There are studio and two bedroom rooms available.
