Great choice

Residence manager is the best Never met administrative staff. They seem uncaring of us. Maintenance is not always available as there is not enough of them to go around. They care for skilled nursing, then assisted living and independent living comes last.. Activities are great. Housekeeping is great. Patio homes where we live are perfect size for two! About 1100 to 1200 square feet!!

We liked the location of Elderwood Residences at Cheektowaga. The staff was very nice. They are patio homes, which is what we are currently in, so that was ideal for us. They showed us an empty one, so it was all cleaned out. There was no furniture or anything. They had a small dining area.

A great choice

Breakfast is provided daily and we love this! We prefer to cook any other meals on our own. Once a month, we have a community luncheon that out residence manager makes and he's an excellent chef!! We have weekly basic cleaning. We are in a 2 bedroom patio home with 1 1/2 baths and approximately 1200 square feet, which is perfect fo…

Elderwood Residences at Cheektowaga has a one-year waiting list. I didn't have any problem with the guy who took us around. He showed us how everything worked and what they did there, and we got a chance to talk to one of the tenants. He did a very good job of telling us how the apartments looked. It's very clean and well thought out in terms of the layout of the kitchen, the garage, the front room, and the bedrooms. He said they have community stuff that takes you to the store or to your appointment, tha…
