Genesis HealthCare

Especially liked the food options. Not sure if I liked the 3 bed options.

Too far

Facility in process of renovation - good sign. Director very helpful. Dad liked it.

We chose Highgate because of the location, the price was right, and they were able to get her in rather quickly. My sister in law did a tour and she thought it was very nice and would be a good fit. They have been great with communication, we get updates weekly. She said the food is great and she really enjoys it. They just recently opened up the gazebo and garden area outside, but one of the residents has a dog and they are not cleaning up after it, but it is a very nice place. I would recommend.

My loved one is still trying to adjust to living at this community. The staff have been friendly and encouraging them to participate in some of the daily activities. My loved one seems to like the food. The community is clean and the grounds are well maintained.

The staff is very helpful and friendly with my Mother. The food is fine but nothing extra special. My Mother would rather eat out if she can. The facility is kept clean and in good repair. More activities need to be offered on weekends for the residents. My Mother claims it is boring on weekends. I live out of state so she can not be with me every weekend.

The price is reasonable compared to other facilities. A big complaint which I believe has to do w/ not changing the residents often enough :( is the odor of urine as soon as u get off the elevator & proceed down the hallways. The director [name removed] is very helpful & very hands on but the staff needs to be more attentive to proper hygiene. The rooms are fine, spacious for shared though the bathroom toilets & seats do not look as if they are cleaned often enough! The Nurses seem to be good but honestly over-all no one is super friendly & lack communication w/ the residents. We have addressed a few issues w/ management so I am hoping things get better now that we passed on our concerns.

My mother is not real happy there. Some of her cash has gone missing since she moved in and it's too small and there's not any activities that are worthwhile to her. She doesn't like the bathroom sink being in kitchen. So the kitchen and bathroom share a sink. That annoys her. The medical care is not up to par. They see a PA every month. It's very hard to see her and talk to anyone in nursing. Communication is not good. The place is clean, friendly, overall appealing, food is good my mom says. Dad likes it too. Dad is happy there. He gets good care he says. But I think they could be happier somewhere else closer to me and having more activities and maybe a bigger space.

This was an okay community. Overall it was not the right fit for my loved one.

The staff is good. Everyone has helped me adjust to my new home.

The staff here are great. I have had a great experience so far since I moved in.

Generally speaking things are fair here.

Very big, many units that were very far from the dining hall and activities center.

I feel they are handling the pandemic well.

Pleasant, warm atmosphere.. MD visits, RN’s to administer meds, PT on-site w/Rx. All important . Did not see meal plans, potential activities, family visiting sites small and not private. Confusing floor plan. Did not see any staff other than Marketing Director and front desk personal. Spoke to RN on recent change to omit rapid testing on visitors at back entrance .

There are good & bad everywhere, however my Mom is calmer at chestnut ridge, likes it and has a wonderful care taker named [name removed]. [Name removed] is soft spoken, knows how to deal with the dementia residences, and treats them individually. She should be commended. And she should have assistance. These caretakers have a tough job. On the downside, there are always missing items like hearing aids, bedspreads, clothes. In addition, the washers & dryers need to be replaced on the 5th floor.

OK, no vacancy

The place was really nice but we would rather have the privacy and able to cook myself at times.

For the most part, I am enjoying my stay at The Village at Northrise! The people there are great, and the staff are sure to take care of my needs! My primary concern, however, is that the food is terrible. This facility also does not offer menus for diabetics and people with special dietary needs.

Though the location is great, we have run into a few issues since moving my loved one into this facility. Our primary concern is the fact that what the nurses and staff tell me are very inconsistent with what is actually happening with my loved one, to the point where it simply does not make sense.
