Overall Review of Elderwood Assisted Living At Cheektowaga

common 20 reviews mention this

Staff care is a mixed story

Staff attentiveness stands out, though a minority of residents describe serious lapses.

Many reviewers describe staff as friendly, professional, and responsive, including nurses and administrators who follow through on care and keep families informed. Several also credit specific therapy help and say residents were treated with respect and compassion. At the same time, some reviewers report problems like delayed responses to call buttons, concerns about neglect, and frustration with communication between families and the team.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Cleanliness gets both praise and complaints

Cleanliness is sometimes praised, but some reviews cite noticeable odor and mess.

Several reviewers say the facility is clean, well maintained, and even smells good. Others mention updated areas and describe the building as kept up. A smaller group of reviews, however, describe the building as not clean and report a lingering urine smell in hallways, including after they noticed it more than once.

common 7 reviews mention this

Activities are a daily draw

Residents have plenty to do, with activities scheduled often.

Reviewers frequently mention bingo, music nights, exercise classes, and other events that keep residents busy. Some also describe game spaces, snacks during visits, and the grounds and walking paths as part of the day-to-day experience. One reviewer specifically contrasts this by saying residents were largely confined to their rooms and couldnā€™t participate in activities during their time there.

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Dining quality is uneven

Dining is viewed as adequate by some, but food quality is criticized by others.

Some reviewers describe the dining room positively and say meals are delivered, with one person saying the food was good. Others describe regular meal service and a menu with multiple choices. Several reviews, though, call the food awful or inedible, and one notes that it isnā€™t always tasty even when residents are used to home-cooked food.

    Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are fundamental tasks vital for an individual's independence, particularly in older adults over 85, and include functions like bathing and dressing; assessing ADLs alongside Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) helps determine the level of required assistance due to age-related health challenges. Tailored support plans, involving family and community resources, are essential for maintaining dignity and autonomy in assisted living environments.
