Cornell Estates Retirement & Assisted Living

I went to Cornell Estates Retirement & Assisted Living and the minute I walked in the door, it felt homey, more cozy, bright, and cheerful. The staff was excellent. The lady took us all over the place, answered every single question, and was happy to show us anything we wanted to look at. We liked the one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments that we saw. Some of the one-bedrooms had fireplaces, and some of them had patios or balconies. The one room we liked was the one that had a little bar on it. We also liked the fact that we could have our cat in there, that they had a whole list of activities and a good food menu. The dining room was very nice and seemed like a happy place, too.

Cornell Estates was really good. They're charging a little bit more, but it's worth it if you can afford it. What impressed me was their program with Cornell University where they offer college classes or courses that folks can go to and take. They have both assisted and independent living. They have a menu of what your needs would that you choose from, and it adds to your cost. They have caregivers if you need them and you pay for them to come by. The staff was really nice and very approachable.

My father has passed but his last five years (4 in retirement /1 in assisted) at Cornell all of us peace of mind. He was very happy with the staff, the food, and all the activities. He enjoyed the housekeeping staff who cleaned his room, the manicurist who comes every Monday, Movie night, Bible study, etc. Thank you to all the wonderful staff!!

The apartments at Cornell Estates were very nice. The staff during our visit seemed top rated. They are very helpful. Another thing that is nice about this facility is if you move into their retirement section and you have to go to assisted living, you just have to change apartments.

Cornell Estates is nice and clean, and the staff is very caring and friendly -- which is one of the things my father liked -- with lots to do. It is appealing. He has just a basic one-bedroom small apartment. He lives on the independent side, but if they don't show up for a meal and haven't told them, they call and check on them even though they're not in the assisted living side. He is participating in the exercise classes, and there are several kinds. He is participating in a writing group. The food is very good with good service. I've eaten with him a couple of times. The dining room is very nicely set up, and the servers are nice and appear to be clean. It has a restaurant kind of feel to it.

My mom has been living at Cornell Estates since January. Half of it is retirement living, and then the other half is assisted living. I like most of the staff. The food is excellent, which is really important. They are very good about following through on making sure that my mom eats three times a day and that she's in a clean environment. They could improve on response time. My mom has a button around her neck that's like a necklace, and sometimes it seems like it takes a little too long for them to respond when she pushes her button. That's the only thing that I have a little bit of a problem with. Everything else has been really good. They have all kinds of different things going on that my mom really enjoys. They have several exercise classes during the week. They have a watercolor painting class my mom really loves. They have tai-chi and story time. They have bingo, which my mom doesn't like. They also have shopping days and buses to the doctors.
