The Best Nursing Home Communities in Wayne County, NY

"My sister and I were not impressed with the Living Center South facility of the Finger Lakes Health group when our mother was living there. It was not as clean as we felt it should have been, our mother was not happy there and some patients were talked down to by certain staff memebers. We were lucky to get our mother moved to a much nicer facility of the Finger Lakes Health group, where they treat everyone with respect and it is kept cleaner. Living Center South needs to be re-evaluated, improved upon, remove the dead wood staff members and get people who really care about the patients and envirnoment. "

"My husband was in the hospital, and then they placed him in the Ontario Center. Their rehab program is great, but the general facility is lacking in staff, like everybody else. So, he can't get a staff member to help him when he needs them. Apparently, they've had all kinds of different types of residents and they're in semi-private rooms, and so he's been moved three times now because of roommate problems. The food is fine. It's a very nice place, and I guess we're still getting what we paid for."

"My mother lived at Clark Manor House for seven years, and it was very nice. They took very good care of her. The grounds are very nice and include a walking areas and a little greenhouse that people can tend their gardens raised up in boxes so people can reach them without getting down on the ground. They often have concerts in the summertime outside which was very nice. The food was excellent and the dining room was quite beautiful. The servers and caretakers were always good to my mom the whole time she was there. She had a silly little dog that she was able to keep there. The activities were quite extraordinary, like movies, and in the wintertime, people would play the piano in the lobby, have wine and cheese parties, concerts, and crafts. They also had a beauty shop, and the two women who worked there were wonderful."

"The rooms are matain in a professional manner The aids are friendly and knowledgeable of their job The nurses have your welfare and health frist The rehab department is frist class management is very accessible I feel that my stay here is good."

"We moved our dad to Fairport Baptist Homes. It's been going well and they are taking good care of him. The staff is really helpful and kind. They check on my dad very often and they are providing him all the care that he needs. I tried the food and it's very good. They have activities such as bingo, music, arts and crafts, and animal visits. The cost is high unless families can qualify for Medicaid and my dad's on Medicaid, so I feel like he's getting a very good deal."

"This is an excellent facility that gives good care to it's residents. My mother in law was there until she passed away. I know of many happy residents there. "

"I am overwhelmed at the love and caring and kindness that they give to my mom and to know how good she’s taken care of when I can’t be close to her is such a wonderful feeling there are some wonderful wonderful ladies that work there who I love very much and I am so thankful for"

"I toured Aaron Manor Rehabilitation & Nursing Center. It was very clean and well-managed. They had a very nice ratio between patients and staff. It wasn't overly burdened, so that was a nice thing too. They had nurses 24 hours a day at this facility. The staff seemed to be very attentive and very caring. The rooms are a good size and even the semi-private rooms were good size, much bigger than a hospital room. There were plenty of rooms. They were L-shaped. The beds weren't side by side. You walked in, one room was to the left, then as you went back towards the back of the room, the other room was facing in the opposite direction, and both areas had windows for the people to look out. It was well planned."

"My husband is in M M Ewing Continuing Care Center. They're doing physical rehabilitation and occupational rehabilitation. He's now at a stage where he can somewhat get around with a walker. They help him with toileting, and they prepare the meals. They help him with all of his daily living. With regards to cleanliness, it would rank very high. More importantly, to us as a family, it's the caring staff that are there. Everyone is very compassionate and very caring. They get to know their clients immediately. He has only been there a little over a week, and his CNAs know him well, and they know what he's capable of. So we're very happy with the care. I haven't tasted the food, but it looks very good. My husband likes it."

"Maplewood Nursing Home was very nice. They had a welcoming committee of old ladies who would encourage new residents to go to exercise class and stuff like that. The facilities and rooms offered were good. The receptionist and the caretakers were good. I liked the big windows and good-sized bathrooms in the units. Most of their meals were very good, and they gave people a lot of choices. If you didn't want to eat what was on the menu, they would make you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or whatever, so they were very accommodating with food. The rooms weren't as nice as at other facilities I'd seen. "

"Clean, attentive, caring place. I'm surprised by some of the other reviews but perhaps they changed management since then. My mom has been in rehab at Penfield Place for over a month, and from day one I was surprised and impressed by the true caring by the nurses, CNA and therapists, social worker, and other staff; the attention and quick response time; and overall care for my mom. I visited her every day, often more than once a day, and not once did I find her sitting in a wet bed (so common at many senior care places), or not appropriately dressed for the time of day, or otherwise not cared for. Mom is largely incontinent, and she was always clean and dry, as well as her bedding. The physical and occupational therapists are excellent; nurses knowledgeable and caring; and the CNAs and other staff are all excellent in their work. To reach Mom's wing, I had to walk down the LTC wings, and unfailingly, every time I walked down the halls (and I came at different times throughout each week, including late at night), there were staff taking care of the permanent residents, talking to them by name, encouraging them and helping them. I was impressed. Continually. We had a horrible experience 2+ years ago at another facility (I won't say the name, but the initials are AM), it was so bad I filed a complaint about that facility. Penfield Place is a breath of fresh air, a total 180 from that other place. Thank you, everyone at Penfield Place, for making my mom's and my experience so wonderful and reinstilling our faith that there are people out there who actually care for the elderly and want to help them live their final years with dignity."

"I went to Cherry Ridge. It was a very nice community. It was very clean and well-kept. They had great facilities. We visited the cafeteria or dining hall. They had a wide variety of independent living floor plans, which was nice. The rooms were very clean. Excellent. The staff was very friendly, very helpful, and very informative. They had a nice living room, but they did not have a fitness room. They said that was going to be developed, but got canceled because of COVID. But the facilities that we saw were very nice."

"The only assisted living available is at their Cherry Ridge campus. It's beautiful, and very hard to get into. If you or a loved one can get into it, you'll be glad you chose St. Anns!"
