I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother is in Highlands Living Center. The thing that stands out in my mind most is the fact that as you walk in, there's a receptionist and security right there, and it's bright and more than acceptably clean. The only problem we had with the staff was that my mother was not comfortable with some of the aides, and they've since been removed.

Instead of addressing these horrible things, the Director Sam just wants to cover it up and proudly not take any responsibility or blame for anything going on at this establishment because we spoke up! Please steer clear of this facility and protect your loved one!

I visited this facility

I was very impressed with the Highlands at Pittsford. I first stopped by the front desk first, and then they directed to me her cottage where she lives. The cottages are small houses arranged in a small loop next to the main facility. I was very impressed with the comfortable living accommodations. For meals, residents can either eat in the fine dining restaurant or they can have food brought to their apartment or cottage. We ended up having food delivered to the cottage. Around 8:00 after we had finished eating, t…
