The Best Nursing Home Communities in Chemung County, NY

"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. "

"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."

"My experience with the facility was all in all a positive one. She always seemed to get the help and assistance she needed. They had scheduled times for eating and times to play games, such as bingo, which is my grandmother's favorite. I always felt like having a schedule was very important for her in order to keep her mind off not being in her own home. I was also very impressed with the food. I expected smaller portions and less quality, but it was the exact opposite. She always talked about how good it was.One thing that did bother me about the facility was that she had to share a room with another person. I understand that the facility has to accompany as many people as possible, but still, i wish she could have had her own room. I think it would have made her feel more at ease having her own room. It would have given her more of a feeling that she still can have some of her independence and freedom, like in her own house. "

"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. "

"We’ve been to Bradford County Manor several times because that’s where my uncle stayed. It’s a 30-minute drive from Waverly. Everything was right on par. It was brightly lit, furnished, and up to date. The staff was courteous and kind. The rooms were very nice. Somebody goes in twice a day to pick up, and look around, not leaving anything on the floor where they could trip. It seemed very well maintained. "

"I had a family member stay for rehab. The rehab was excellent and the staff was very caring. "

"I was a resident here at Oak Hill manor, I had a full hip replacement with a major fall at home. The facility was very clean, food was fantastic. I personally met the chef, administrator, and director of nursing and they were all helpful and mindful of my care. I felt everyone there was extremely competent, knowledgeable, and informative. With the COVID19 measures, I felt very confident in their care and comfortable that I was safer inside than outside. The building is "old" or "tired" and is undergoing renovations and major upgrades which were stalled because of COVID19. The administrator was helpful and said "hi" to me everyday, always answered my questions and understood me. Nursing staff were great, fantastic, and well-staffed. I would highly recommend this facility. "

"Great rehab stay "

"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. "

"My mother is at Steuben Center (Formerly Steuben County Infirmary). It has not had any cases of the virus ever. She likes where she is now. I was able to negotiate down a reduced price, and we like it because we feel that she's safe. The staff is very caring, and we've been pleased. We've been able to Zoom with my mother, and they've been very helpful in setting that up. She said she likes the food. I haven't been able to go in; all I see is what's on the website. Sometimes it takes them a while to get back to you when you're trying to process paperwork, but overall it's been a reasonable experience."
