Atria Penfield

I went to Atria Penfield. The woman there was very nice. They have a kitchenette and small fridge. I think there were a couple of burners. It wasn't a full stove. They had a microwave. The staff was excellent. She did follow up. She sent me notes asking how mom was doing and things like that. It's kind of a dated building, but it was clean. However, she said the costs are reasonable because they don't have a mortgage.

I had a good tour at Atria Penfield with Jeanette from there. It seemed like a small, tight community and the staff was friendly. I think all the residents looked happy. I can't say it was a bad experience I had just touring the facility, and I would consider it. The rooms were nice. It was not large so I think that they probably give a lot of focus to the residents. It seems to be very social and they were very professional in how they provided the tour to me. So I would recommend them, from what I saw in the facilities. I spoke to the cleaning people in the dining room. They did a good job during the tour. They were prepared for me, they took the time, and she introduced me to a few other people. I spoke to some of the residents. One of them was a gentleman who was an artist and he showed us his room, it was nice. The kitchen was very clean and the dining facility was clean. They have a set menu and they also have specials. It was not very modern, but overall, it was clean and didn't smell. The room that I looked at for my mother smelled clean and the furnishings were nice.

We looked at Atria Penfield's assisted living. It's a slightly older facility, but it seems to be very well-run. The staff that we met was very nice there too. They have activities like card games, bingo games, and that sort of thing. The staff was very nice. The facility itself is very nice and seemed to be well-maintained, just a little bit older.

The staff of Atria Penfield was very friendly. The rooms were lovely and they had lots of fun activities. My mother was born in Italy, and there were quite a few Italian-speaking residents there. I thought she would have enjoyed it. It seemed to be a very nice and very friendly place. I was able to talk to the chef, who's been there for fifteen years, and all the residents love him. It was excellent.

Currently, I'm at Atria Penfield. Everything is pretty much assisted living to some degree, so there are no kitchens. All meals are served by the facility. It's a fantastic place. The staff is exemplary. They look out for the community itself. We were just on the news as far as being the only company that had 100% vaccination rates for the staff and the community. They tried very hard as far as controlling access and any possibility of contracting COVID all the way around. They did a really good job that way, which is sometimes tough with people with different stages of dementia adjusting to a different world. That's a controlled environment rather than a independent environment. They have a mixture of residents. Some are just coming in for a shorter stay rehab and like me, I ended up staying. There are some people here that are 100. The staff is the best I've seen. I associate with them more than I do with some of the residents. They've got a good staff. The food is good. They have three meals a day and there's a variety. They have a lot of activities and I don't participate in too many. They have different things going on, not as much now with the Covid, but they had music nights and a band coming in or a comedian. They had a really good variety. Today, we'll have a root beer float day. They'll bring a cart down and go to the halls and make root beer floats for everybody. There's the Cinco de Mayo Day. They vary it up and they try very hard to please the residents. One lady moved in and wanted euchre and they started having euchre nights. They're just starting it back up again after Covid. It's loosened up enough, so we're back using the dining room as well. When COVID was at its worst, there's in-room dining only. Now they're back to the dining room, and every meal is served there. There are certain things I miss like having a coffee maker or something like that, but they're looking at all the different rules and regulations because as far as giving some people here the ability to have a hot plate or a microwave would be dangerous. They have medical groups who will administer pills and make sure you're taking all that stuff. There's assistance as far as dressing or bathing. I don't know of any rooms that are equipped with any cooking facilities and there are no shared cooking facilities neither. You pretty much can do your own thing. You don't have to participate in activities, and if you want meals, you can have them brought in or go out for them as well.

We toured Penfield Atria for my aunt, and it was very interesting. They were very informative, very informal, and very pleasant. We enjoyed meeting the staff and some of the people up there. It was nice. The one who accompanied us on our tour was very knowledgeable. She gave us all the facts that we asked for. She was very courteous and very professional. We were able to see two or three different rooms. It was of different sizes and different setups, but they're all very spacious. It was very nice, clean, and beautiful. We saw the dining area. We met the chef who is working up there, and he was a very nice young man. We didn't stay for the meal, although they offered us to stay; we didn't want to impose on them. They have reading, and there's games that they play like bingo.

Atria Penfield was very nice. It was just a little older than a couple of the other ones that I've seen. It seemed well run. There were a couple of little things I didn't like, like the residents couldn't have a coffeemaker or a microwave in their room, and that's something we were looking for. Otherwise, it's pretty nice. The staff was all very nice. Everybody has been extremely nice. I have no problem with them at all. They're very knowledgeable, and they seem to know what they're talking about. The facility was clean enough, but it was a little older, so there was a little age showing.

My Uncle has been a resident for 3yrs and seems to really love it here. During the pandemic the workers were awesome and did everything they could to keep him healthy and symptom free. the employees always are awesome and the directors are always amazing and do what they can to accommodate him. the rooms are perfect size for what he needs right now, he was checked on regularly during the pandemic to makes sure his room was not in disarray. They have plenty of activities for him so he's not just sitting around all day. I know they do field trips around the area along with trips to local grocery stores (probably Wegmans) if you are looking for a place for a loved one look no further this is the place, for the price you can not beat it. plus they will work with you to make paying easier and stress free.
