Ferris Hills at West Lake

Mom lives in Ferris Hills at West Lake. She has a very spacious two-bedroom, two-bath apartment. They have a shuttle service for residents to go to local stores/libraries as well as lots of activities. They have lectures, music performances brought in, continuing ed courses, card clubs, and all kinds of games. Should you need transportation that's not on the schedule with the shuttle, they have a private car that can take you where you needed to go. They're located very close to hospitals and medical facilities and all kinds of stores in the town of Canandaigua.

We went to Clark Meadows at Ferris Hills. We did a tour and my father did an evaluation to stay there. He did pass the evaluation, but we felt it was a little more independent than the care he needs for the respite stay. It's a beautiful facility for somebody who is independent in being able to dress themselves and get themselves down to meals. It had a lot of wonderful amenities, and the food service looked amazing. They have libraries. They have different games that are played throughout the day. They have social activities. I know in the morning they had somebody come in and kind of do a "today in history" kind of conversation in the one waiting area. It seemed like they had a lot of activities and things for people to do.

Clark Meadows is very good, very well kept, very clean, and well cared for. The food is excellent and served restaurant-style. They have lots of activities, like bingo and card games, and have musicians that come in to play. They have their own little grocery store and a salon and a vehicle to transport them to doctors' appointments. They can improve on having more activities outside the center because if you want to go to an activity, you usually have to make an outside arrangement. Whenever I go away, my dad stays there.

My 94 year old Mother-in-law was at Clark Meadows for a 5 day respite. All of our family, including my Mother-in-law, were extremely impressed with the bright cheery cleanliness of her private apartment. We were also impressed with the decor of the entire facility. She was provided with a choice and a variety of nutritional meals. The staff were always pleasant, helpful and responded quickly to her requests. We HIGHLY recommend this facility and plan on using it again in the future, as it provided us peace of mind that she was safe and will cared for.

We were able to visit Clark Meadows at Ferris Hills. The facility is very clean with lots of activities. The residents were out and about. They have several places to choose for the residents to eat. The bedrooms were very nice.
