Mom’s room was spacious. The entire staff is exceptional and caring. Mom was warmly welcomed on her first day and she made some wonderful friendships. The staff was very attentive to her medical needs. It’s a smaller facility where everyone is treated like family.

My friends mom lived there and would go with her somtimes to visit and to tour facilities. The facility is small but that was nice. The rooms were decent size compared to some of the other assisted living facilities we visited. Her mom made several friends and they would get together to play cards. Her mom liked most of the food, some of it she didn't like but overall she enjoyed it. The staff were very nice and took good care of her mother. Unfortunetly she had to go to a nursing home after a fall but the time she spent at Orchard Park was good. The activity director did a good job of taking residents shopping. They took Medicaid right from the start. A lot of places you have to pay privately for a year or two before they will take Medicaid and Orchard Park does not have a time limit.

My family was at Orchard Park and it is a lovely little facility. Grandma was able to find her room and not get lost. The staff were very nice and helpful. Grandma got great care there!

My mother stayed at Orchard Park and it was the worse mistake, after 3 months of this place we moved her. They are understaffed and most of the staff are very rude. They aren't trained to work with the elderly. You would call the place and no one would answer the phone and no one ever called back. I trusted these people to care for my Mom and it was a horrible place. Please think before you place your loved one at Orchard Park. She fell 3 times and the last time they never called me to let me know. And when the hospital called to come get her they said they had no one to come get her. So many sad stories!

There were some things that I really liked about Orchard Park. I liked that they have a room that's called the Red Room. It's like a TV/lounge area with a computer that their people could access to print out whatever they needed. Then they had an activity room with tables where they could do puzzles or do a little bit of cooking if they wanted, since there are cooking classes. They had a cafeteria. They also had a little atrium area in the middle. (The building is a square, and then in the middle of the building there is an open atrium area.) I really liked that; I liked how the building was around it. It's a huge, green, grassy area and it's beautiful. But when we went in, no one greeted us. We had to knock on the door and ask. Once we walked in, we walked up and down the hallway, and there was nobody but me because they were at lunch. We knocked on the door of the office and we got somebody there; she kind of gave us a tour. It seemed like it was a really nice place. But I felt that if somebody wasn't familiar with that place, they could get lost, like an older person who doesn't have very good memory. I like the fact that it had separate rooms. But it felt almost like a college campus where you could go to different rooms to do different things, versus the other place we toured where you have the one big room. But I liked the openness of the other place versus the separate rooms of The Orchard. The lady I talked to was really kind and helpful. I thought that the rooms were nice. They were a little bit bigger in terms of square footage, but I thought that they were nice. But you couldn't do anything to the walls, you couldn't put nails in the walls, and you couldn't paint the room, whereas in the other place, you can.

We did see the Orchard Park Retirement Community. It's too small a facility, too confined. The rooms were very small, almost like a miniature hospital room. They didn't want you spending a lot of time in there. They wanted you out participating. They had a big TV room, lots of lovely chairs and then they had all kinds of chairs where you ate. It had a nice, enclosed patio. It was a nice place but it was just a little too compact for us to put mom in. The staff was very nice, very lovely. Everybody was very friendly. The staffing was wonderful and the facility was pretty nice. The room that they have everything in is also the dining room. The dining room, the game room, the TV room, it's all one great big room. They do have sections of it. It's all open but they haven't sectioned off the way they put the couches and the tables.

My Aunt an Uncle live there. My aunt recently died there. The care was wonderful. They are so attentive and loving. Now my uncle is there and he said the owner, Virgil, even swept the snow of his car. I would give them the 5th star if they would have the front door handicap as it is hard to hold it open with a walker.

I have to say that I was not at all pleased with the staff. In fact, I had to move a relative from this location of Orchard Park due to staffing issues. One I found that the employees are not regularly drug tested on actually had an arrest record and was recently charged on drug violations. I also heard obscene language in the facility hallways. I was not impressed, needless to say we had moved on.

Orchard Gardens, where she ended up (my grandmother) was very recently opened at the time of her moving in and was filling up fast. Our first battle was simply finding someone/somewhere that would take her with medicare and insurance and income limitations. Our family is middle income and with my grandfather having worked right up to the time of his death, there just wasn't a lot of disposable money between all of us to direct her way to make up for his missing income. Anyway, we found Orchard Gardens and were able to get through the application and admission process pretty quickly as these things go. The administration diid as much as they could to prepare us and her for what to expect given that we didn't have any experience with these types of facilities & situations. The building essentially has one and two bedroom small apartments withthe levels of assistence varying gereatly on the needs of the individual. Everything was always very clean, cable and telephone, utilities very reasonable. the food was good from what she said but she also had her own small kitchenette for when we were there. The activities were a godsend. It was quickly apparent that a lot of seniors are back to square-one with friendships and time filling activities after recently loosing a spouse so activities like BINGO, bible study, book clubs, crafts, game nights, church, shopping and other field-trips were an easy way for her to navigate waters she had not needed to for 50+ years. The health care from cna's, nurses, and other para-professionals was great and they were timely in alerting family and doctors of anything that needed to be addressed. The medication dispensing is done the way most do with a room and residents coming down unless there are reasons they need to be delivered. She was diabetic and those considerations for meds and diet were pretty simple to be handled. The only real issue that came up during her stay there was a theft situation, which after talking to others who have family in similar places is unfortunately, fairly commonplace, but was immediately addressed my administration. It was a nice place for care, privacy, care, and for her to not feel like she had lost all of her independence. She still had her own furniture, belongings, apartment, and evfen a lock on the door which was very important to her. We lost her a little over a year ago and are so very grateful for the memories that we have with her there. A last Christmas, birthday ... those sorts of things. They made her passing easier to handle instead of rushing her things out and implying harsh deadlines and fees. The other lesson we learned is that if your loved one lives in an assisted living facility and has to be hospitalized for any length of time, it is easy to loose your spot so having clear communication between administration and doctors and family is impearative. Hope this is helpful.
