Nursing Home Communities in Rochester, NY

"Best nursing home I have ever has my mom in. This place puts the residents first. And takes their care very seriously. My mom came out of her shell here. The rooms are like regular bedrooms so there is complete comfort. Not a hospital like setting "

"This place needs so much improvement that it just screams "help!" the instant you walk in the door. Gardens are untended, walls need painting, eating areas are nearly what you'd imagine in a concentration camp, and there are NO CHAIRS for visitors at all. You must go around to hunt one down in the hall or in a room where one is unused and unbroken. There is no decent art on the walls, no cheery color, no inviting area amid the linoleum and metal furniture for comfort. The staff is pleasant and helpful if asked. I think it would be hard to work in such surroundings. "

"My mother-in-law was here for rehab. It was OK for what it was needed. The Brightonian was alright, but wasn't great. On a scale of 1 to 10, I probably give them a 6. The facilities were OK, but it wasn't great. It's run down, older, and looks like a nursing home. "

"I first visited St. Ann's Community at Chapel Oaks with a friend of mine who was also looking to move in there. I liked it a lot. What I really liked was the choice of floor plans for the apartments. I saw the whole facility. One thing that they had that the other community did not have was an indoor pool. I do water aerobics, so that was a factor for me. The woman who showed me around was very informative. She answered all my questions. She showed me all the amenities and a couple of apartments with different floor plans. The place was very clean and very inviting. I also liked their kitchens more. They were all stainless and much nicer."

"I toured St. Ann's Community. The ratio between aid and patient wasn't overbearing. They were very attentive and very caring for the people that were there. There are no semi-private rooms there. They're all private rooms. The facility was well taken care of and well maintained."

"My father was in the rehab unit for over 2 months. He thought the food was very good, especially the soups. His therapists were excellent - they pushed him to recover as much as possible and worked on things he'd need to go back home and be independent again. The staff was excellent. He had a single room, everything was very clean. They had a lot of activities for the residents - bands, fireworks, music, etc - that they could participate in if they wanted to. Excellent care! "

"After being hospitalized for a couple weeks, I was transferred to The Highlands at Brighton to continue my recovery. Staff exceeded my expectation 24 hours a day, my daily needs were met with professionalism and patient. My recovery went quicker than previously predicted due to the staff genuine working with me everyday to return home."

"This place is a dump. It was recently taken over by a company on Long Island. The recording that plays when you're on hold makes it sound like a spa. My sister is a resident on the 3rd floor and they never answer the phone (the 2nd floor does answer). She said the food is terrible. Her room is crowded & the laundry practically throws her clothes in the closet. There is a heating unit by the window & the bottom is broken & hanging loose. The wall behind her bed was plastered very sloppily. Her call light is frequently not answered. There is sometimes food on the floor in the hallway & recently there was blood there. The staff is nice enough. My sister's hair hasn't been washed in months. No amenities, although you'd never know by listening to the telephone message. Big turnover of staff. "

"My wife stayed in a Jewish Home of Rochester for rehab. It was very good and extremely clean. They had good staff and were very friendly. They allowed us to bring our dog in, which was nice. It was a good-sized private room. It's well set up. She had pneumonia, so they were able to take care of her oxygen requirements right there in the room, and so it was done well. They have a nice dining area, and they could do food in your room. The menu was varied and changed every day. It wasn't gourmet food, but it was pretty good. She ate, so that was good. They had a lot, but she didn't take advantage of any activities. The only complaint I had about the staff was one person short on the floor, but the staff was excellent."

"I recently visited this home with my friend to see his dad. I read some reviews online describing a nightmare. However, that was not the case I experienced. The staff was friendly and helpful. I spoke with several residents in the main lobby who seemed to me to be in upbeat and friendly. We used the elevator to reach the second floor spoke with a friendly orderly for directions and found his dads room to be clean and in good order. His father was in the rec room and was being supervised with several other residents. Again, I found a friendly monitor supervising the group and the atmosphere was upbeat and clean."

"Nursing staff was professional and timely with providing care to my mom. The food was pretty good for the most part. The dietician was helpful in picking out alternate food options for the fish she didn’t like. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Every room came with their own TV. Closets could be bigger, but everything fit and the nursing home was willing to provide laundry service. There were activities everyday and the activity staff were extremely friendly and energetic. Bingo seems like the hot ticket as everyone seemed to show up for that. "

"My parents moved into Friendly Home. It's a great facility. It's rated number one in New York State. They're very attentive. They have nurses and they have nurse practitioners on call. They have a social worker. They are in a shared room that's got a wall, but because they're together they got this shared room to themselves. They have their two recliners and a TV, and then they have two twin beds on the other side because they've set it up for a couple. They have all kinds of social events downstairs and they're both doing physical therapy. I think the food is excellent. They're phenomenal compared to other places around here."

"The Village at Unity was nice. Their food was the best. I had a cauliflower crust pizza, and it was delicious. The rooms were kind of the same, but they were fine. The thing I like about them is that they are nice and bright. They weren't dark and gloomy like some of the others. They probably had the best transportation available, too. That would be one extra thing. They're good with their transportation."
