2 Best Nursing Homes in Roanoke, NY

As far as the move in, plan on bringing your own help. The will provide a luggage cart if you ask. They even let us move in during the evening when we had family available to help. The facility was always clean, and all staff were friendly and helpful. The Charge LPN called immediately if they suspected that your loved one needed an emergency visit. That way we could go and assess for the need. Meds were passed on time. There is an assortment of crafts and activities to take part in at any time during the day. Live music was amazing and occurred several times per week. Staff would even dance with ambulatory residents, or sit next to people and smile and encourage them to join in with clapping or singing. Christmas decorations were made by the residents; paper looped garlands, to paste, coloring pages that residents would color and add glitter. My loved one was with it enough that he helped with taping decorations on the walls. Everyone could participate or at least watch the various Christmas trees being decorated! Families were always welcome to join in at any time. There was a beautiful Christmas Dinner put on one evening, and families were seated at round tables with their lived ones. Live music again. There is a feel of family with the staff, at least on the closed dementia unit, where my loved one was. They baked a huge party sheet cake and celebrated each person's Birthday with cake and ice cream. My loved one was mobile enough that they would take him on the bus for breakfasts and lunches with the mainstream residents, even though he was on the memory care unit. There is nothing at all negative to bring up about Seabury Woods Memory Care unit. It is a treasure.

They do a great job. The staff knows everyone, and they take time to check on others. They seem to have to knowledge of the needs of the residents. It's very clean. They communicate very well. They make sure that the hygeine is well kept. The food is excellent. They have different types of exercises, music, arts/crafts and games. The value for the money is really good. They check the room three room per day.

I would recommend The Villages at Unity to others. They have an ambassador resident to help acclimate new residents. However, I'd suggest that they also have a few "new resident" events to meet each other and know who the new residents are so they can look to each other for meals, outings etc. There are cliques that make it hard for someone new. They reduced the restaurant hours shortly after she moved in and that has not gone over well with all of the residents. The staff is very friendly, calling everyone by name. The food is good, except holiday meals are horrible! Maintenance, housekeeping and front desk staff have all been great. While mom is still adjusting and wants to "go home "...this should prove to be a good decision.
