Elderwood Residences at Wheatfield

I went to Elderwood Residences at Wheatfield a year and a half ago. They were great, very helpful and showed me around. Everything looked very nice, and I was able to talk to some people. I was looking particularly at a private apartment type situation there. The people were very accommodating. The residents seemed to be in good spirits, and they seemed well dressed and groomed. The folks that I talked to basically needed assistance, but were pretty capable. They were very nice. They all introduced me to a cat.

They did a great job managing all the questions and also figuring out the right funding algorithm for my loved one to be there. They made it very simple to move in. And I gave them some challenges. My mother loves it now. She was very against it before moving in, and she had a really difficult time adjusting. But now she's very interested and enjoying herself. Shel likes the layout of her apartment, and she has a patio she enjoys. She also likes the large bathrooms. They come and clean on Thursdays, and she thinks that's amazing . It's just very quiet and comfortable and safe. And that's taken a big load off of her mind.

At 100 yrs old my mom entered the Elderwood Senior apt. I never would have thought she would be happy after leaving her home of 60yrs. I was pleasantly surprised as she made friends, attended activities including physical fitness classes twice a week. She could get her hair done every week, attend church on Sundays, enjoy breakfast and supper with her friends nightly. Her apartment was hers. The furniture, pictures on the wall, and all the memories collected over a century. The staff was friendly but more importantly, they were compassionate. When the Lord took mom at 101 [date removed] , the staff was wonderful. They were visibly effected and I noticed. Thank you Elderwood Wheatfield. God Bless you!

Mom lived in her own apartment for almost 4 1/2 years. She was blessed to have lived in a community where she was treated and cared for like family from the very first day! Everyone from administration (Tammy and Nicole) to the front desk, cleaning, dining, activities, and maintenance staff is absolutely wonderful! Their caring and concern for her wellbeing, as well as the other residents, is evident on a daily basis. Mom enjoyed the friendship of her fellow residents as well as the commraderie of the Elderwood staff. Getting her hair done weekly was a necessity and she enjoyed attending the various activities offered, with music being her most favorite. Our family highly recommends Elderwood Residences at Wheatfield!

The rooms are beautiful. Housekeeping cleans the rooms every week. The staff is engaging and delightful. The food is excellent, better than some restaurants I have eaten at. There is breakfast, lunch, and dinner available. There are two dinner choices, two desserts choices, and soup or salad. If you do not like either dinner choice there is a side menu you may choose from. Every Friday is happy hour which includes a food buffet and white or red wine. If you choose to eat in your apartment, the staff will delivery your meal to your room. The entertainment is excellent and engaging. Donna who is the Activity Director is amazing. There are many different activities the residents can participate in. The facility has a pool table and exercise room and many residents enjoy the Tia Chi class.
