The rooms are decent, good lighting..however they need to get humidity in the rooms to prevent dry skin, difficulty with sleeping. The staff is outstanding in spite of the fact there is understaffing. The staff is committed to each patient, providing quality care, and genuine kindness. They are very responsive to family concerns, or patient concerns. They had many activities for residents to attend..my mother enjoyed them. Auburn Community Hospital needs to reward the staff for their commitment... it is a true call…

I am a retired physician. When my brother became seriously ill, we decided to place him in this facility. I had heard good reports regarding Finger Lakes Center For Living. Sadly, he had terminal cancer, but I feel certain we chose the best possible facility for him. The care and attention he received was exemplary. My heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff.

I’ve been trying to contact Katie admissions director for few weeks. I have received no return phone calls or messages. Whenever I do call it goes to her voice mail. How can I get my mother in there if I can’t reach anyone to do so????!!!

I have to say, what wonderful care the staff at Fingerlakes center for living is giving my aunt. They are compassionate, kind, loving, gentle with her. They are the best in the Cayuga county in my opinion. I would recommend them to others. The place is very clean. The support towards family from the staff is compassionate, loving. I want to thank everyone who works there for everything you do for the residents, you all are angels in my eyes.

I am a friend or relative of resident

My Mom was a resident of FLCL for 7 months. During her stay, the staff was very caring, loving and compassionate. Of course there are times that someone can't be attended to as quickly as they would like. Nursing homes don't have personal attendants for each resident. I feel the activities personnel encourage all residents to attend the various activities, games, music events, etc. The residents can order from a menu that has a good variety of food choices. Compared to other nursing homes that I have visi…
