Memory Care Community in Vestal, New York

Mike O\'Connell

My mother had some health issues in 2021 and was no longer able to live at home. We checked out a few assisted living centers and thought that Elderwood at Vestal would be a good fit. As a matter of fact it has been even better that I had imagined. The staff is very thoughtful and caring, and has helped my mom through a few difficult transitions, including one (temporary) hospital stay. My mom likes that it\'s pet friendly (she has a cat!), and I really do sleep soundly at night knowing she has such excellent care. I cannot endorse Elderwood at Vestal enough.

Bonnie, caring for Uncle

I have been visiting our Uncle 3-4 times a week at this Vestal “Elderwood” facility for almost 2 years now. It feels like home ( warm and inviting) from the minute you get to the front door then walk in to the double large living rooms with a cozy fireplace. They schedule activities to appeal to all personalities, and go above and beyond to make visitors feel right at home also. I was especially happy to see chair Yoga classes in the calendar of activities!! Some elderly are not as mobile as others- so this class lets them participate, do what they can and still get the wonderful benefits that Yoga provides to our bodies. I was there for a few classes and noticed a difference on the residents faces by the end of the class , it was wonderful !! My thought or suggestion Is hopeful that they could offer this class more than once a month. I highly recommend this facility, it’s home away from home for our Uncle !!

Elderwood Village at Vestal is convenient, nice and clean, and the people and the staff are nice. The food has been good. They have Bingo seven days a week and activities that my mother likes. They have an activity area, a sitting area, and a little library. They take them gambling if they want to go, and they've got a bus that can take them and let them shop around. It's pretty good for the money they're paying.

We looked at Elderwood Village at Vestal. I think the staff was excellent, and the facility was extremely impressive. However, they did not do memory care, just assisted living. It was comparable to the others, and we would have my aunt go there, but she needed memory care.
