Vinecroft Retirement Community

It was nice. A smaller community. it was very pretty, and a nice piece of property.

My father is a resident. The staff truly care about each person there, and get to know them all personally. It is a small, one floor community where it feels comfortable.

Today I visited www.VineCroftRetirement.com This is a Senior Living Cumminity in Clarence, NY, 14032. Also stated in their website A Christian Based Living Cummunity. The web was inviting as far as picture's & friendly welcome to our community. I called and left my contact number & information. I did mention I was moving in near future because the house I'm now living in will be for sale in the upcoming months. I received a return call from a Staff member. Not to my surprise did I find out that people had a choice of renting there as well as one time down payment + monthly $. Into $3.000.00 per month but all inclusive was a 1-bedroom apt. She was extremely rude after I questioned the quote. Than she told me she had nothing else to say to me & simply hung up..! I read the reviews prior to her returning my inquirey message..! People Beware and READ THEIR REVIEWS.! Especially regarding Hot meals & Housekeeping..! Not so inclusive..! Not so nice to even speak to. Who hangs up on a person just asking questions..!

The apartments were bigger than many in the area. We were a bit put off by the fact that the rent only covers two meals a day and that hot lunches are only available four times a week (at a price). So yes, the monthly rent is lower but you need to pay for a lot of things on top of that. It is a smaller community, and although it is Mennonite founded, clients seem to be largely Catholic. Housekeeping is only every other week, whereas once a week seems to be the norm. Again, you can pay for the additional service. The second person fee is lower than most but this is because all they are providing for this fee is two meals a day, one of which is only a continental breakfast. Exercise facilities are minimal and common areas, although well maintained, are small and limited. This place is NOT COC; you cannot move into assisted living without moving over to the expensive Bristol next door which will not accept pets. I don't see moving them into a place when they will inevitably have to move again; and my father will need that much sooner than my mother thus forcing us to move her int something she doesn't need in order to avoid splitting them up (and she would have to give up her dog just as she faces losing her husband).

They're doing a great job at Vinecroft Retirement Community! I'd give them top marks across the board, they do just about everything well here and we've got no complaints at all. Now that my loved one has settled in he really seems to be enjoying himself here. The community itself is well kept and clean, and everyone here seems very friendly. My loved one is happy here, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking into senior living!
