My mom loves it here!! She is receiving better care than living alone. She has people to eat each meal with and is never alone. She can choose to join in the daily activities or sit and read a book in her own room. The staff is friendly, caring and very well educated. The facility is extremely clean, no smell, whatsoever!! They decorate for every holiday, make gifts for residents for each holiday, have planned activities have an art room and 2 beautiful sitting rooms with gorgeous fireplaces. Residents can choose whatever they want to do during the day. A wonderfully trained staff and caring Doctors. I hope they are still around when my time comes.

A great place that is small enough to give special attention to all. Certified Assisted Living Program of New York State.

I TOTALLY DISAGREE with mik ahern's review. He is judgmental and snide. It sounds like he is young and this is the first "old folks home" he has ever seen. Yes, mik ahern, people grow old and infirm. It is not pretty. But the residents here are not dying. They are living. Yes, their physical and mental abilities are reduced, but the Home is helping them live better lives despite this by offering dozens of activities of all sorts to keep them engaged and active. Forced prayer? Well, for one thing the WCA stands for Women's Christian Association (no longer in existence). mik ahern doesn't realize that the generations that live here grew up with organized religion as part of their daily spirituality. What he finds disgusting (prayer and saying grace at meals) they find familiar, comforting, meaningful. And it is not forced. A resident doesn't have to participate if she doesn't want to. And one doesn't have to be Christian to become a resident of the Home. No doubt by the time you get old (gasp! yes, it WILL happen to you, if you are fortunate), services offered by assisted living facilities will have changed and whatever your generation finds appealing is what will be offered to residents.. Smelly? i visit routinely to see my 75 yr. (oldest) sister who lives here, and do not notice any smell (and my "ancient" nose is still working just fine, thank you). Residents have "accidents," yes, but the staff immediately clean these up and clean up the resident, too. Try doing that yourself for your grandmother, mik ahern. The food is very tasty (I've eaten there) and the cooks work diligently to provide creative, delicious, nutritious meals for the residents. They take into account special dietary needs of the residents, as well. Every staff member I've met is wonderful, dedicated to their work, and the residents receive excellent care and attention. The staff to resident ratio is 40 to 37. That is an exceptionally high ratio in assisted living facilities and means that the residents receive lots of attention and care, compared to the typical assisted living facility. Sure, some staff move on to other jobs. That happens everywhere, in any kind of job. The Home has a volunteer group that raises funds to pay for special activities like local trips and outings for the residents, sponsors an annual picnic for residents and their families or friends, decorates the Home for Christmas, and much more. Local groups participate too. For example, a local gardening group made small, fresh flower bouquets that were left on the doors of each resident on May Day. So, mik ahern, if you live to age 80 or so, prove to be mortal and experience the inevitable decline of one's body, you should be so lucky as to "end up" living in a place like the WCA Home. Tammy Skelly's review says it all, "Quality care at affordable prices."

The place if filled with old dying people who spend their days sitting around doing nothing or falling asleep in their chairs. They eat mush for meals and can barely walk to the bathroom. What a way to spend the last years of your life. The place is filled with antiques - both the furniture and the people in it. Just hope that you don't have to end up living in this place. Plus, you have to pray before meals. Really??? Forced prayer. It is an awful place that smells bad, and is staffed by workers hoping to get a better job asap.
