My friend is at The Amberleigh. It's a safe environment. It provides most of her needs. Her life, I think, has been elongated because of her stay there. Those are the main reasons I like it. She has a very nice apartment. She pays a premium for it, but she is in a two-bedroom. She has a nice window view and not every apartment has that. There are only so many that can get that view. It was refreshed before she got it in there. The facility is nice and pleasant. Upkeep could be better; however, I don't blame the staff, I think they're just shorthanded. The staff is attentive, they know my friend, and they work hard. Lately, their food has been excellent. They have a beauty salon, lounges, and activity room with weightlifting things like that. They have an outdoor gazebo, and they have a computer room, but she doesn't use them.

We're very interested in The Amberleigh, and my mom wants it. I'm just going back today for her to look at it because I looked at it, and now she's going to look at it, but I believe we're going to take that one. We just walked through it. We saw the room, we saw where she would eat, and all the different parts of the tour. We saw everywhere where she would go. Then we sat down, and we talked about any questions about different things and what we have to do. The staff was extremely personable, very nice, very accommodating, and very pleasant. She answered all my questions. She did everything she was supposed to. She was just good; she was very kind. The tour was good. I left there feeling that it was a good place for my mom.
I told the staff what we wanted, but they didn't have studios available. They just had the apartment and that was fine. We looked at a one-bedroom, which was available, and that was a really good size. I thought it was good for the price. She mentioned the food and the dining room. She showed me a room where if my mom had people over, she could use this private room for clubs, special dinners, or something like that. Even though it wasn't my mom's section (she would be in assisted living), she showed me where the other parts of the building were used like the independent living and the memory care. They're in the same building but they're all separate.

I like the fact that The Amberleigh had a little outside patio in the rooms, where you can go outside. The ground floor had places to sit, with birdfeeders. When we pulled up, we already commented that it looks like it's going to be very expensive, but it was not. It was very competitive with the other ones. And they offer more of an ala carte menu of what you needed, instead of the all-inclusive with stuff you don't need. It was nice with a very beautiful entryway sitting room, people were playing board games, and there's a beautiful fireplace. It was nice because it was a chilly evening and the place was very welcoming. They also have a salon in-house.

The Amberleigh has assisted living where you can transition into memory care. It's one of the two top places that I looked at in Buffalo. The lady was amazing. The only reason I would go with the other place over The Amberleigh is for financial reasons. Amberleigh is private pay only. They had transportation services. The staff, the building, everything was right up there at the 5 level. It seemed a little bit bigger and seemed to accommodate more people. I didn't try the food there. As far as services, staff, and living quarters, they were 5's. They had an activities calendar, and they get them out twice a week to go shopping to stores around the area, which I thought was really nice. They had medical services onsite once a month. They had an inhouse doctor, which I thought was cool. They had a gift shop, a movie room, and an activity room.

I liked how The Amberleigh in Williamsville is family-oriented. They have nice apartments, I saw a 2-bedroom apartment during my visit. I toured the assisted living and I like the way they run things over there. They're nice and friendly and they try to make everybody feel comfortable. The dining room was nice and they had tablecloths on the tables.

I visited The Amberleigh Assisted Living, a great facility, very clean, and the people are very nice. The rooms were fine. The only issue we have is they don't have any assisted living units available right now, and we have a short window to find a place for my mother. They were very accommodating. They were doing a lot of recreational activities, they were outside, they were doing a lot of good stuff. The dining area was great, the food looked very good.

We like The Amberleigh very much. So far, we're leaning towards it, but we wanted to look at a few more things for comparison. We looked at something that was available and it was nice and clean. It didn't have an overwhelming smell of 'not clean' and I like that. I didn't really have a lot of communication and we didn't hang out and visit with the staff, but from what we could see, it was a nice facility. The place itself doesn't sit on a corner and it's not very close to the street, so if someone did find a way to leave the building, they have a long way to go before they actually arrive on the street and get hurt.

I visited The Amberleigh in Williamsville. It was excellent and everything was topnotch. I was able to see the dining area and the room that my dad is going into. It blew my mind away. I was very impressed with it. He will have a separate bedroom, his own bathroom with a shower, a living room with a balcony and a little kitchenette. It's all very nice. I would give the staff that accommodated me the best rating, too. Overall, it was above and beyond what I expected. It's very impressive.

The Amberleigh was within our budget. The experience was OK. The person we had an appointment with was not there, and the person who was covering for her didn't even know who we were. It was kind of a rushed tour. The place was so large. It had multiple floors and an elevator, but I was looking for a more intimate setting for Dad. There were four apartments with a kitchen, a bathroom, and a separate bedroom. The rooms were excellent. I have checked the assisted living and memory care. They had very little of activities. I did get to eat a meal there, which was nice.

So my grandmother has been a resident at Amberleigh for over two years now, and she is always telling me how much she loves it there. She always tells me about her friends, all of the activities they do, and even how wonderful her hairdresser Lisa is (They have a hair salon right off the Lobby). So After finally visiting her today I can see why she likes it so much. It was my first time in the facility ( I am on the West Coast and don't get home very often) and I have to say the place is quite impressive. Today the staff brought in a local elementary school for a holiday band/chorus concert which I thought was pretty cool. My grandmother and her friends were very happy, which was evident by the smiles all around. After the concert was over we went in to have lunch. Even I was impressed with the food, the atmosphere, and the friendly server. I am a very picky eater, and they even made me a grilled cheese and french fries! Every single staff member that I encountered today was overly friendly, and I also thought it was pretty cool how I saw their Director walking around talking with the residents a few times throughout he day. According to my Grandmother, the new Director (or Administrator, or whatever they call him) is pretty new to Amberleigh and she really likes this guy. She says he reminds her of me, so he must be a pretty good guy. All jokes aside, I am very happy that my grandmother is living in a place like this, it was nothing like I thought it would be. I would say if you need to have a loved one live somewhere like this, check this place out. I never leave reviews for anything, but I felt obligated after seeing how great they are treating my grandmother.

The Amberleigh has a room with some different equipment in it, like a hydro bath where you could transfer from your wheelchair into it, and water jets help your legs for circulation. The location was perfect. They were getting ready for a Bill's game when I visited; everybody was up for that and they had decorations, so it was a very nice atmosphere. The person who gave us the tour was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had, so she was an excellent representative for their facility.

I visited a friend of mine at The Amberleigh, and it is a very nice place. I would not mind living there, as well. Her apartment is lovely and very spacious. I have tried their food a couple of times, and it is very good. The people I know who live there are extremely happy.

My sister is in The Amberleigh. So far, she likes it. We like the two-bedroom apartments and the continuous care capability. They have activities, and my sister loves the library and the activities. They have exercise mostly. The staff seem to be very caring. I think they can improve upon staffing.

The staff was very accommodating and was able to have an apt ready for my Brother after he was ready to be discharged from Physical Rehab.
His apt was very clean and had a great view of the courtyard.
All staff members were very pleasant to deal with and very responsive.
I dealt mostly with one of the lease managers (Joy Crawford) and she was very responsive and was able to send us all the documents we needed to complete electronically. Everything went very smoothly the day my Brother became a resident of THE AMBERLEIGH.
Provider Response
Thanks so much Vini for the kind words! I am glad that your brother is with us!

The Amberleigh was nice. We went to a community room and the staff showed me all the different places, the layout of the beauty salon, and the dining area. We did the independent portion, we looked at two different rooms, on the second floor they have a little balcony and looked out onto the back of the area. She pointed out that there is a big field back there, and there's wildlife there and it was interesting.
I liked the fact that my parents can still cook and do things that they do now. It's just going from a really large house to a smaller apartment and is going to be a big change for them. Elaine was very nice, she took me around and showed me the different areas. I thought it was nice. It has things that my parents enjoy. My mom's kind of social and she would enjoy the games and puzzles in one area, and if she wants to get her hair done or if she wants to be in the library area, she can, so it's a good facility.

The grounds at The Amberleigh was were so pretty and I appreciate the landscaping, the place is gorgeous. The woman that we met, her name was joy, she was delightful and answered every question. The only thing, which is a corporate issue, is that they charge for electricity. The other place we toured gives you free cable TV and internet, but Amberleigh charges for those services. Anybody looking for a better value will certainly look to the other place. I visited their independent living. If one's health will decline, they have the option to bring in an aide, whether it's from corporate or on your own. They even gave me a list of people willing to come in. So if you're independent and in need of little help, you can stretch out the independent living before you're labeled as another level of care. Their fees are going to be more than the other place. I have no complaints about my visit, there was no issue with anything. We were accommodated extremely well. The staff who gave the tour as wonderful. She even admitted that her mother was a resident. So I thought, how better can you recommend a facility than to say, you placed your mother there? I think it was wonderful. They have a calendar full of options, entertainment areas, a walking club, arts and crafts, and music.

My brother and I visited The Amberleigh for our mother. It would be up to her, but we were both happy with the way we were treated, what we saw, and what they offered. I would be more than happy to have my mom stay there.
They were very nice and clean. I love the open areas and the dining room where you could socialize and congregate. The only thing that I could say about them, is that the rooms were very clean and nice, but they were a little bit dated as far as the kitchen and stuff there.

We like The Amberleigh. It was very nice. There was an option with one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms with one bath, one-and-a-half bath, or two baths. There was the memory care and the assisted living, so that was a plus point, for somebody who needed extra help they can go in there. The price was reasonable. The staff I interacted with was very nice. She showed us everything. They take them on bus tours for shopping and banking, and everything. They didn't mention anything that they're doing at the place yet because it was not opened up for anything else. They have a library, exercise room, a nice dining room, and a nice laundry room. The facility is nice and clean. Each time you move in, they told us that they fix everything. It's nice. I like it.

I went to The Amberleigh. The facility was lovely. The people I saw there were much older than I was. I was looking for what I consider an active senior community, and I didn't see that at all there. I saw some old women sitting in chairs, not even talking to each other around the big reception area. Kind of reminded me of a nursing home, and I didn't fit in there. You know, I'm too active for them. I saw an apartment, it was OK, but I remember they said that the kitchen needed to be upgraded or renovated, rather. The library had trashy novels, it's a small library. I didn't see anybody doing anything in any of the activity areas. It was just dead. It was an independent living and you stayed in the independent living until -- they did what they called an extended assisted living so that you stayed in your independent place while you got assisted living. But then they didn't have skilled nursing.

I found The Amberleigh. I thought that it was just for me, I looked at two different two-bedroom apartments. I thought they were clean. I didn't see a pool or anything like that, they have a room where they have gym classes, music, and different events like that. The activities vary daily.

Moving my parents from the Atlanta area to Buffalo had many challenges. Another challenge I had was timing. My parents were going to arrive at Amberleigh 8 or 9 days before their furniture. Amberleigh offered to let my folks stay in one of their guest apartments until their furniture arrived and their stuff unpacked.
If my parents had to stay in a hotel… no car, not familiar with the area, meals… ugh.
Amberleigh did not charge us any additional fee for the use of their guest apartment. It was a great relief to know that my parents had a place to stay when the got here. Thank you Amberleigh.

The Amberleigh was very bright and shiny. They had lots of pictures on the walls, and it was one way people found their way around. They could remember what kind of picture was on the wall when they turned. A lot of people had wreaths on their doors. They had flower arrangements on the tables, and they had a grand piano at the end of the first room. There were lots of chairs and tables in every room and in every nook and cranny, so you could meet some friends in the corner. Everybody seemed really happy. A lot of giggly women saying they were so glad that they were there. Not all of them were older people. We liked it very much.
The person who toured us was an older woman. She was fun and knew everything by heart. She didn't have to look up anything. We looked at four different apartments, and she knew all about them before we got in. She was very knowledgeable. We didn't look at a studio room, but all had big windows. They were very nice and one had dishwashers in the small kitchens. They think they're going to take those out and put a washer and dryer unit in. I thought that was nice to have a washer and dryer in the apartment, since you probably do not need a dishwasher.
You get three meals a day, and you won't be home that much. The apartments were well-kept, and they were doing some renovations on them too.
Their menu looked very nice. If you don't like the things on the menu, they have another menu that they serve every day. My husband said they had beef, while I saw a fruit salad. Everybody liked it.
They also have a hair salon, exercises every day, a coffee in an activity room, fresh baked cookies in another room, crafts, a documentary in the evening, music in the activity room, movie and popcorn, ice cream sandwich socials, and jazz music in the atrium. It had a general store inside where they had stacks of toilet paper; they also had other bathroom needs, aspirin and toothpaste. Everything was a dollar except the adult diapers, and that goes on to your bill for the end of the month. They don't accept money for anything. I thought that was really nice and cute. The lady that was there was nice too. They have grocery trips just right across street. They just have a lot of things going on.

My Mother moved into The Amberleigh a month ago. The marketing team, was very professional,
helpful and patient as we worked through the decision making process. They even helped us find a
mover! Right away, we were impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, and Mom really likes her
housekeeper. The food is really good and my mother loves the variety of options she has! She loves the
fresh fruit and her favorite is The Amberleigh salad. Every time, I visit, I am greeted as if I am a member
of the Amberleigh family and the residents are always friendly and seem very happy here!

My mom's going to The Amberleigh. My mother-in-law is there as well, so I'm very familiar with it. It's very nice and affordable, and the apartments are very nice, updated and clean. They have nice facilities, and they are more spacious than the other places we looked at. The staff is good. They're not putting any pressure on you. They make the search convenient.

My mom loves The Amberleigh. She is entering her 4th year as a resident in their Independent Living. She has made so many friends and good memories. The staff really takes good care of their residents, and make them feel special. They do so much - from hosting watch parties for the Buffalo Bills, to snack carts, offering speaker series and movies - there is always something going on. She often tells me how spoiled she is. During this time of COVID they are going above and beyond to keep them safe and happy. I highly recommend The Amberleigh.

I went to The Amberleigh. They had 2-bedroom-2-bath. The staff was so gracious. She showed us the rooms and she has called us several times. She's such a sweetheart. She showed us around, I would give her some credit for that. She was so sweet. I like her. They have some type of assistance if you require. If you get in a condition where you need it, before they send you to a nursing home, they would give you some assistance there.
The staff was such a darling because of her rapport. I don't care to live there, but I think she is a sweetheart. We got there late because we got lost trying to find it, but she was kind enough to show us three different rooms and gave us the pricing. They have housekeeping, they change the linen, clean your apartment, and take out the trash once a week. Mailboxes are in the hall. They have spacious hallways. They have 2-bedrooms with walk-in showers and 1-bedrooms with tubs, which is nice. It's kinda like what we would want; however, the price is kind of steep for us.
They have really good facilities. They seem friendly enough, and the people that live there are quite friendly. I think it's a wonderful place. It is kinda far out, though, and I don't like going way, way out there. I want to be closer to where I live now. I saw where they sat around, and because the sun was nice and warm, it was nice. They kept the building nice and clean. The people sat out in the family room and visited one another. They were excellent and they were very nice. I like The Amberleigh.

We are going to sign the lease for The Amberleigh for my grandfather. We've been there, it's close to my mom's work, it's not far from where we live, and he's been there before. He had friends that were there, he likes it, and it's a nice place. The food seemed to be relatively gourmet, it's actually good food, and it seemed like a place where they do a lot of activities, which is something that I wanted to focus on with him, because he's a social guy and likes to get out the most. They had three floors, they had a lot of lounges and community rooms, a cafeteria, they have a gym, a barber, a store that you can go and purchase candy and snacks, and different things. The staff seems very helpful, accommodating, if you're sick they'll bring your meal to your room, and they have an outside service that provides in-home aides that do different things.

The staff at The Amberleigh was very nice, very accommodating, very friendly, and very thorough. They had lots to offer, including assisted living and memory care. They had everything, like vans that take them to doctors, to the stores, and everywhere you want to go. They've got a ton of clubs like bridge clubs, card clubs, puzzle clubs, crafts clubs, movie clubs, a variety of religious services, personal trainers, OT and PT services, and a volunteer club where they were making blankets to give to babies. The staff was very interactive and very outgoing with the residents. They had a Halloween party going on when I went. They were dressed up in costumes, and they let the residents vote for the best costumes. They had music going. They had a very full active calendar. The staff seemed to interact with them throughout. They had high school students working there which the residents just love. They had a wide variety of food and a variety of hours for them to go for breakfast and lunch where you pick off of a menu.

The Amberleigh's rooms were a bit nicer than others, and you had a choice of having a little apartment where you have a separate living room or sitting area and a separate bedroom, or you could have a glorified hotel room. It was newly remodeled and the bathroom had a nice wooden cabinet where you could store some things, plus a nice counter at the sink. They had an activities room and did outings in the local community. They had bingo, clubs, and a separate dining room if you want to hold a private party for family. They had a nice dining room, just like a fancy restaurant. The people were very friendly, very respectful, and caring toward the elderly residents. There was a separate entrance to go into the memory care if you wanted to, which was a nice feature.

My mother-in-law was at Amberleigh, and about 2 weeks later, she fell and had to go into a long-term healthcare facility. But at the time she was there, I thought it was very good. She was in an apartment, which was very large, and it was brand new, so it was excellent. They had arts and crafts and music. She was really too far gone to take much advantage of them.

When we were looking for a place for my dad, we found Amberleigh to be the best in the area. They have an amazing staff that greets each resident by name, they take the extra time to spend with the residents or just say a friendly hello. The apartments are the perfect size, food is wonderful with an amazing variety and plenty of activities and outings to go on. I would highly recommend Amberleigh to anyone looking for senior housing for their loved one.

Amberleigh is tops! I selected this community because my parents were actually bored at home and needed others around to socialize with. The meals are very good and the staff is unlike anyothers we've met- so sweet and compassionate to seniors. The director has a life time committment to seniors and it shows. All staff under her direction are kind, know all of the residents names and go above and beyond the call of duty. It is clean, attractive but most of all a true place to call home for seniors.

They've got an activity center with games, an exercise room, and a library.

I was very impressed with The Amberleigh. The staff was very friendly, efficient, and it had a very cozy feel to it. It's very secure and just a beautiful place. The lady was very knowledgeable and knew everybody there, whether they were the residents or staff members. She was a definitely a people person.
They had quite a few dining rooms. I went through the assisted living and memory care and everybody was eating. They were very organized and the staff was assisting them. They also had a craft room, an exercise room, and a very nice fireplace. Everybody seemed to get along really good.

The Amberleigh was very clean. The residents were getting ready to go on a trip. They were all gathered in the front, they were all smiling and laughing with each other, and it was like a family reunion. There was no one sitting by themselves in a wheelchair with a blanket over their legs. It was wonderful. The person during the tour was wonderful as well. The room was like your own apartment. It was wonderful. I know my mother would be very comfortable there. She will be in memory care.
I asked about four or five people how the food was, and they all told me it was wonderful. The dining area was very homey. Of course, we're living in a world of COVID, so the tables were not close together. I'm sure it was different before COVID hit. They took us through the activity room and showed us different projects that they worked on in the past and were getting ready to work on in the future. Most of the tour I had a mask on, but my mouth was open because I could not believe how wonderful it was. My sister's father-in-law stayed at Amberleigh. He was on the independent living side, and he absolutely loved it there.

I went to The Amberleigh I was very interested in it. Everything was beautiful there; it was immaculate, the staff was very nice, the ones I saw interacting with other people were very kind and attentive. The dining area was spaced out very nicely because of the COVID it was very clean. They have activities that they planned, but there were things that were normally available, but not available right now because of the COVID. The only thing that bothered me was there was no all-inclusive price, there was extra for this, extra for that.

My husband moved into The Amberleigh Memory Care. The workers/aides are great, they're very friendly, nice, and the place is immaculate; it smells great. We haven't had any complaints there at all. They do music and dancing, they go for walks, and they do painting, flower arranging, and nice things there. He seems to like the food, and the menus are great. However, he was having anger issues, and I don't think they're dealing with that very well.
