Longview, an Ithacare Community

Mark

My relative will be moving into Longview, an Ithacare Community. They have a lot of services and a lot of activities for the guests, so I think that's great. They also have a partnership with Ithaca College. They have shuttles to concerts and other cultural events at the college, so that's awesome. There's a trail that they can walk on with their dogs. It's a nonprofit, so they had just started a moderate-income program, which is helpful for people who don't have a lot of money. So those are all great things. I don't have anything negative to say. My relative hasn't moved in yet, but it seems like it's going to be great. The rooms are efficiency style. There's a bedroom with a big bathroom with walk-in showers. There's a small cooktop and a dorm fridge. I think their food is good. Every day there's a long list of activities. They have clubs, games, and shuffleboard in the hallway. They have a small pool, and they have exercise classes in the pool. They also have a small exercise room, so they offer fitness classes. The staff are great.

We moved into Longview, an Ithacare Community. We love it here. Everyone here, from maintenance to the CEO, is friendly, helpful, and available. They offer a lot of activities, but I haven't participated in anything. I get a weekly newsletter and there's just all kinds of things like jigsaw puzzles and movies. They also have a chorus and a quilting group. There's an affiliation with a Longview College and we can take courses over there up to nine credits for free. Our apartment is just really lovely. It is spacious and comfortable. There's a washing machine and dryer right here. The bedroom is a nice size, and we have a nice, large master bathroom. We have a good size extra bathroom and a good size second bedroom. There's a library, a movie theater, a little store that's open certain days for certain hours, and you can get things like postcards, Kleenex, pens, and pencils. The library is well-maintained, with a good variety of fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, and the daily newspaper is available there, too.

As a resident of Longview for almost three years now, I wanted to talk about how I feel about living here. I am very pleased that I made the decision to move here. I really like the activities that I can be a part of, as well as being able to interact with the other residents who are living here as well. It is great to be able to share my life with other people. I enjoy the food that is served in the dining room and I am so pleased that I am able to participate at Ithaca College who is a partner with Longview. Working with the staff has really been great. In addition to what happens at Longview, I am able to participate in the activities of Ithaca helps immensely. I definitely would recommend moving to Longview and becoming a resident of a very good senior community. I strongly recommend that you come here yourself and see what I am talking about. I hope to see you become a part of Longview in the future.

Longview (Longview, an Ithacare Community) was a bit rigid in the way they handled my mother-in-law, and the staff was not as accommodating. My mother-in-law was there for about eight or nine years. The place wasn't as bright as my mother-in-law's new place. The food was fairly good. They need to be a little bit more flexible in the treatment of their residents. My mother-in-law wanted to be able to eat in her room and they absolutely would not let her. We finally got her to eat in the common room but they charged her for every meal just to carry the food from the dining room to the common room (which was ridiculous).

The nursing staff is rude and do not care about the residents . Most time they are sitting at the desk talking to each other while the call lights are going off . My mother has open areas to her buttuck that i am just finding out about , three weeks after the fact . Not happy with the service

Longview is very nice. The staff was trying to keep her somewhat independent. She has complained about peopl,e but I think it’s more that she had to move out of her own house. She is not too happy with having to be there, but we have to do it for her safety’s sake. They have several activities but at this point in time my mother doesn’t want to participate in those activities. They have movies, play piano, and trips to certain places. It has been in our convenience as she has one lady that lived from the area and has a young son and they come to visit. We decided to try this within our certain radius for this lady so they could visit mom. The place is very well-kept. They are having some difficulties with their eating, but they should be getting that fixed before too long and with my mother, she loves the room.
