I visited this facility

I was not pleased with Elderwood Assisted Living at Cheektowaga. The rooms, to me, were very small and cramped for two people. The facility was not what we expected. The kitchenette that the residents could use was so far away from the rooms. Right now, my mother has her own kitchenette with a refrigerator and everything, and so this would have been a step down. I met the front desk lady and the tour lady, and they both were very friendly. The facility was very dark and gloomy, but the dining room was very nice, br…

Semi-private Rooms are crowded, it was sad to see these people in their rooms. Private rooms were small. Room for a bed, chair and the small dresser they provide. They did say you can bring your own furniture, but not much room. Absolutely no little kitchenette in the private room. Where would it go? Room is so small. Very little closet. There is a community kitchenette but so far away from the rooms. Dining room was nice, and bright. This would not be my choice.

I am in an assisted living called Elderwood Assisted Living at Cheektowaga. Right now, we have COVID here and things have gone crazy. They have two floors, and we are separated from the ones who have it. They also halted their activities because of it. I'm in a shared room and there is a bathroom that we also share. We have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You have to make your own bed. You just have to tell them if it's dirty or if you've wet on it. I would have thought this is assisted living but they…

I went to see Elderwood Assisted Living. They had a very nice facility. When you first came in, there was a sitting area there with very nice music that elderly people would like. It was beautifully decorated. I liked that they had a variety of activities for the residents. They did not have the apartment set up like the other facility. Instead, they had just a room with a disability-accessible bathroom. It was still very nice, it just wasn't the same apartment setup we saw elsewhere. The staff was very friend…

Elderwood Assisted Living at Cheektowaga wasn't as new as the other place I toured, but they were putting in some new flooring and apartments as needed. They were updating some of the flooring in the building. The hallways weren't quite as wide. It wasn't new, but it was well-kept. They had breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They had bingo, music nights, and exercise classes. They had like a banquet room if you want to have some of your family over. It was pretty good. The staff seemed pretty good. I watc…

Elderwood Assisted Living at Cheektowaga wasn't as modern, up-to-date, and as clean. The feeling for us going in there just didn't feel right for the situation my mother is going to be in, but the staff was very polite and the dining room looked sufficient.
