Nursing Homes Community in Orchard Park, New York

Joe

We placed a 95 year old family member at Orchard Heights in October. She had been cared for around the clock for nearly a year by family. She was suffering from dementia. She walked in on her own using a walker. A week later she was in the hospital due to extreme dehydration. We paid extra for enhanced care. My Sister-in-Law who is a PA said the ER Doctor could not believe she was in this condition in a week’s time. They kept her at the hospital and she died a week later. This level of neglect is astounding.

My mother stayed at Peregrine Senior Living at Orchard Park. Everything was good except they could not give her the one-on-one care that she needed. She would get up and forget her walker and fall. The staff was great, but they couldn't keep her safe. They had an exercise class in the morning, crafts, music, people who come in and talk, there was bingo, and games. The food looked OK.

We decided on Peregrine Senior Living at Orchard Park for my mom. It's a good place for her because she's free to move around the community but it's also safe from wandering. So we're happy with that. The food is home-cooked sandwiches and things that are simple which she remembers, so she eats well there. We went to a Thanksgiving dinner with the family there which was lovely, and there will be another Christmas gathering next week. So we are satisfied to date. Mom has a private room, and it doesn't seem like they clean it as they should. If you say something like it needs to be vacuumed or there are no towels in the bathroom, they do get on it. But that would be a drawback for me. They have activities and there are some church-related things that are good for my mom. She doesn't participate in their sing-alongs and exercise, but that's just a personal choice. So far, there has been no reason not to be happy with them, but I still haven't met all that many of the staff members.

Orchard Heights was very beautiful but too expensive. They put nice furniture in the rooms. The staff member I met was pleasant and informative.

My husband was in Father Baker Manor. It was very nice. It was the place where he was most comfortable. From what he told me, the staff members were very nice and very friendly. They couldn't do enough for him. They did a good job with the physical therapy. The food was great. My husband loved the food. He even wrote a note thanking the cafeteria and complimenting them.
