"My mother has moved into Brookdale Ithaca. The reason I chose them was their location. It is a very good fit. They have bingo, there are other group activities as well as the availability to go out shopping. The staff members are very friendly and very helpful. The place is very clean."

"My mom was at the Elderwood at Waverly and we had a fair experience with them. The communication with the staff was really, really good, but the thing that complicates everything is the virus. In a rehab facility you should be able to go out, use equipment, and things like that, but it was a little bit more limited because things weren't available for the people. They didn't have any activates because of the virus and they couldn't bring them out of their rooms or anything like that. The food was fair and the facility was a little dated; it could use some work. Safety wise they were very safe, they didn't even let me into the building. I understand that, I do appreciate it too, because she wasn't infected."

"the best care I have ever seen in a memory unit. The staff and cna's are top knotch and very caring and compassionate. The activities staff keep the residents engaged and provide and all round family atmosphere. I cannot say enough good about this facility. My mother was there over a year and I also was very present on a daily basis and saw much. "

"Sayre Health Center provides total care. Mother is in a private room and it's beautiful. It isn't just a nursing home, it's for rehabilitation and all sorts of things they have people in for. The Alzheimer's and dementia patients are right in with the regular population which is what I like because that keeps her more active and she will cope to these normal people as well. The food is pretty good. I've had the food myself. The staff is very good and very helpful as far as I can see. If anything happens, they always notify me immediately and if they can't get me they call one of my other brothers or my sister. They're very quick to respond. If I have a question, they call me back right away. They have cookies and coffee during the day. They also have a snack cart that comes around in the afternoon. They quite often have popcorn night or movie night with popcorn. They really do a nice job, I think, much better than the other place that we were in but with a different setup. They have lots of groups that come in for singing, band concerts, choral concerts and country western bands. They have trips to the casino, trips to the mall and trips to see the Christmas lights. They have bingo and book club. I like the place. My whole family is quite happy with it. "

"This facility is very poor. The majority of time, the nurses do not do anything but distribute meds. They utterly refuse to answer call buttons. They employ CNA's, but the ratio of patients to one CNA is 18 patients. Ashton has a repeatedly not paid their cable bill, which means the residents do not get to watch TV. CNA's are told to lie to the patients and tell them the cable is out. The dinner time has been changed to a later time for the convenience of the staff, not the patients. Some patients are forced to go to the dining room to eat instead of being able to chose if they would like to stay in their room and watch a TV program. CNA's are harassed and ad are not supported by the nursing staff. This facility needs to be audited and investigated. "

"I had a great time here. The staff is super nice and helpful. I am happy I cam here after my surgery. It is gorgeous to. "

"Ideal was very nice and everything, but they never got back to us. We put an application, and if they didn't want my mother-in-law, they never told us either way. We didn't think that it was very professional. We only toured it on that one day, and they seemed nice, but I can't say a lot because we really don't know much about them. My husband and I thought it was rude that they didn't return the phone call to us after we filled out the application. They should have let us know one way or the other. They were very friendly. "

"We went to Skye View Heights They had cottages that were two-bedroom, two-bath, and very well done. But they did not have indoor parking. They had outdoor. It's a regular parking lot. And around here with the snow that's not something we were looking for. The girl was very knowledgeable and very courteous. She was very good to us. From what we saw, the facility was good. They have a bus service that goes into the Binghamton area, grocery shopping, and things like that, which is very good. I don't drive, so if something happened to my husband, I would take advantage of that. So, that was a plus."

"Vestal Rehabilitation and Nursing Center was terrible. They called me every other day and told me I had to move my mom. They pressured me and that was uncomfortable. The social worker was horrible, she told me I had to stay with my mother everyday if I could not transfer her. They really put me through a traumatizing period of time. I also thought they were short-staffed and they did not handled things very well. I was so angry that they mistreated my mom. "

"I visited Vestal Park, which is a brand-new rehab community. The only reason we're not there is because they're full and there's no room. The place was warm and welcoming."

"My dad will move into Woodbrook. It's excellent. The staff is very nice and friendly. It's a very clean facility. The room is good-sized and clean. They have quite a few activities. They go on trips, they have a theater room, they have a pool room, they have an exercise area, and they have a library. They got quite a bit of stuff there."
