Heathwood Assisted Living and Memory Care

Our aunt has lived at Heathwood for about 3 1/2 years. She began her stay in Assisted Living and now resides in the Memory Care Unit to better meet her needs for structure and supervision. Our family all live out of state, and that presents some challenges for us in providing care. We have been very blessed that the staff at Heathwood is so caring! Communicating with nursing, care managers, activity personnel, and administrators has been so helpful to us; even for the small stuff! We know that our aunt is in good hands! She is always busy, making friends, and enjoying herself! Her health, wellness, and safety are a top priority. At a doctor’s appointment she was asked how her living situation was going….” I live at Heathwood and I love it!” Very grateful!

After searching the area for an assisted living facility for our mom, we found Heathwood. It’s so difficult emotionally to choose a “home” for your mom that is so different than what she is used to but necessary. You get a feel for the places as you visit and we were hooked as soon as we walked through the doors! The care, cleanliness but mostly it was the kindness of the staff and happy people there that stood out the most. I can’t begin to express the gratitude my family feels for the Heathwood management and staff. They treat my mom like she is a friend/family each and every day. They are super attentive and available whenever needed or just stop by to say hello. Now for the changes in my mom. She has been living there for 6 months and is a completely different person. She has friends, activities and a mentally stimulating environment compared to living in a large home. She is back doing her artwork, and the happiest she has been in many years. She thanks me every day for finding her forever home, a place that she loves and wishes she would have known about years ago. These words are all you need to hear to warm your heart! I would recommend Heathwood!

When we moved my mother from Texas to Heathwood in Williamsville, NY, I was nervous, hoping my mother would be able to adjust to such a change that this point in her life. Seven months later, I can say her experience with the staff at Heathwood has been amazing! They were helpful and kind every step of the way from the move itself, to more long-term adjusting, to making sure the care provided met her 'where she was at' even as her needs changed. Dementia is difficult for the person experiencing it and the associated caretakers. For all the staff at Heathwood - from the laundry and cleaning staff to those that administer the medication to the nurses and case manager - I witnessed many occasions of going above and beyond to meet my mother's needs. While finding the right assisted living facility isn't a 'one size fits all' - some issues are personal preference or more personality-driven - the staff at Heathwood are some of the are some of the best around! A great fit for anyone!

Dad has been there for a little over 2 years and loves it. For me it always starts with the staff and from my experience most of staff there are wonderful. Dad has nothin but good things to say about being there. He was very reluctant to go into a senior facility but his health issues kind of forced the situation. Thankfully his reluctance quickly dissipated after a few weeks of being there. I think having others around and getting out of the pattern of living alone made a huge difference with him. Thanks Heathwood for making this difficult transition so easy and for taking such good care of my father. I only wish we would have done it sooner.
