Nursing Home Communities in North Tonawanda, NY

"I visited Oakwood recently and I have to say that I was impressed by the positive changes that have been made there. New owners took it over about a year or two ago and you can tell. I visited when the old owners had it and it was horrible. Now residents look and sound happier. The new owners are putting money into the building by replacing the elevator, polishing the floors, painting, etc. I was told that they have plans to remodel the dining room, activities room and lounges. They are noticable changing out older furniture in the rooms with more modern dressers, nightstands, beds and lamps. The staff is excellent. Three staff members really stood out to me. Amanda, Jeanette and Karen were extremely friendly and helpful. The dining room crew are accommodating and make homemade meals. This place has really turned itself around. If you need a place that takes Medicaid this is one of the few assisted living's that will. Check it out...you'll be pleasantly surprised."

"At the Sheridan Manor the staff is very friendly. They handle the elderly with care and love. They do many fun activities with them, such as arts and crafts and casino night. They have great flexible visiting hours. The patients are aloud to leave with their families without any problems. Overall I believe it is one of the best facilities in the area. I have heard many complaints from other places, but none from the Sheridan Manor. My grandfather really seems to enjoy it there. Every time i visit him he always has a great story about his stay. He has made friends with other residents and the great staff. I would definitely recommend The Sheridan Manor to anybody in the Buffalo area. "

"My mom was in skilled nursing at McAuley Residence. The experience was very good. The rooms were good. The staff was very, very informative and very respectful. They were really good, and they were good to her. It was a good nursing home. I liked the way it was set up, and the staff members were very, very honest about things about her when I asked questions about her. They were always answering the phone, taking care of her, and doing things for me that I couldn't do. It was very good. I was very happy with it. The food was good. They had programs, and they had parties. They did things with the residents. They always got her up and put her in her chair. They were very respectful and very knowledgeable."

"Beechwood Continuing Care was very good. I thought that they took good care of my wife. The staffing ratio was very good. Every day they gave her lunch and the food was always hot and wholesome. They had physical therapists and occupational therapists come in and see her. So, she was well taken care of. I was very happy with the situation and the laundry was done once a week. So, it was very good. Their staff was very knowledgeable. In the unit that she was in, there were 10 people. There was a nurse and an aide (besides the physical therapist, the occupational speech therapist, and the nurse). They had people coming in and singing songs for them. They were kicking the balls to get their physical activity done and there was also a television. I was pretty happy with the whole thing. They were very interested in my wife. The place was clean and they had the option of single rooms or double rooms, which I thought was nice."

"My mom had her rehab at ElderWood Health Care at Wedgewood and that was very nice. They were very personable. Their services were great. "

"My mom is in a nursing home, she is at Elderwood at Grand Island right now. I would have liked to put her in an assisted living, but she wasn't strong enough. I chose that nursing home because my brother lives about a mile away from it on Grand Island and he can visit there regularly. The staff members have all been very good. The room sizes are nice. The upkeep is good. My mom loves the food; she likes the place. However, it's so expensive."

"My husband is a permanent resident at Elderwood at Williamsville. They are fabulous. He couldn't ask for better care. He has everything he needs, is well taken care of, and there are good meals and nice people. I wouldn't have him anywhere else. He can't do anything because he has no legs, but he has a TV in his room. Because he is on the third floor, he gets in his wheelchair and goes down to the first floor every day to the atrium. He has his breakfast, he stays downstairs and then has his lunch, and then they put him in bed later in the day. He gets three very good meals. They are fabulous. Everybody has just been wonderful to him. The whole place is spotless, too."

"Canterbury Woods Williamsville was very exquisite. They had a lot of amenities, such as a bank, a hair salon, and concerts. The facilities were pristine. We had lunch there, and the food was excellent. The staff was very pleasant. They gave us an introduction about the costs because some of the units have a 5-year waiting list. They do everything for you, but it's also pricey."

"St. Francis Home of Williamsville was pretty good with OK cleanliness. Their food wasn’t the greatest, but it was OK. The staff was friendly and attentive. "

"Blocher Homes was very organized. The staff was courteous, informative, and so forth. However, the accommodations or the rooms needed updating. The rooms were very small -- especially the bathroom and the shower area. The amenities were good. They had a young group leader who seemed to be very organized and interact with the residents and so forth. "

"The new management cares ,cleaned house and hired qualified caring staff. The environment is clean and odor free, I had my rehab there and loved it .I was good as new quick"

"My husband moved into Terrace View. He was here before for rehab, and there are many people that my family knows. He's doing as best as he can daily. The staff does a lot of work, but they do it well. He's eating now, and he eats just about everything. The place is good. They have things downstairs at least three times a week. They have something down there, whether it's a church thing or a musical thing, or a talking thing, or all kinds of things that they have."

"This place is probably the cleanest nursing home/ rehab home I have ever been to, extremely friendly staff !!"
