I had a broiled Seabass this evening with finger potatoes and roasted carrots, French onion soup and French vanilla ice cream that I would swear came out of a gourmet kitchen. There was a full bar in the Acacia Village complex with a surprising assortment of beer, wine and spirits. The residents of these various facilities seem authentically happy and there is plenty to do. I got to check out hydroponic greenhouses, a library, two different chapels, fitness centers and some historic sites in addition to a number of walking trails. I know many people here, although it is only my second time visiting. When it comes time for me to retire, I will strongly consider this magnificent facility.

The effort to build a home for Masons, their wives, widows, and orphans began in the mid-1800s. The Masonic Care Community opened its doors in May of 1893 as the Masonic Home. It was built with pride and purpose and over the years, has been a safe haven and welcome place for tens of thousands of people. Today, this first class facility is open to everyone and more than 500 elders call the Masonic Care Community home. Our beautiful 400-acre campus is close to city services and area attractions, and also offers our residents a safe and secure country setting complete with a pond, stream, woods and a variety of wildlife. Our mission is to support, nurture and educate those whose lives we touch by providing exceptional care and services with compassion and pride guided by the Masonic Principles of brotherly love, relief, truth and integrity.

Mom seems to be doing good there in her independent living studio, and reports that lots of…read morerenovations are now happening. Staff really do go out of their way to help her out, which is much appreciated. Apparently they're a non-profit, and if you go there and run out of money, they do not kick you out, which is reassuring. They are right across the highway from Ithaca College (IC) and have a partnership with them where residents can go audit classes, and professors come over and do programs at Longview. Mom's in a writing group that she loves. There are lots of concerts at IC across a busy road if a resident can get over there. It's not really walkable. Seems like perhaps there could be a little better coordination though between IC and Longview to get residents who don't drive over to events they might enjoy. Mom reports some ongoing grumbling among residents about the dining room, but also says she's had some great meals from them recently as well, which she often requests delivered directly to her room. They are still using plenty of stock photos on their website showing imaginary happy old people drinking wine in places that are not actually Longview, so I do encourage them to continue to eliminate those photos in favor of pictures that are actually Longview. Because it's actually quite an attractive setting in a woodland with a nice walking trail around the whole facility. I'm pleased to update my review to 5 stars and would say yes, you should definitely go check them out.

First 6 hours there, they didn't even offer to assist my 92 yr old Grandma to the bathroom after she came from a 5-week hospitalization. She fell twice the 1st day and had huge bruises on her arms and face the next day. They lost her $5,000 hearing aide and most all of her clothing in the first week. They ignored her dietary instructions and gave her meat although she is a vegetarian and didn't give her the protein shakes ordered by her physician. They soon strapped her in a wheelchair or left her in bed for hours on end, sitting in her own urine and feces all day. Every time we called, no one answered the phone. We would call several times in a row, several times daily. They told us that she would scream out in the night, which she had never done before at home or in the hospital. After the 1st week, she was nodding out when we came to visit. She told us they were giving her pills at night and told her "Now you'll sleep!" By Day 12, she had to be taken to the ER by ambulance (at our request) as she had gained nearly 20 pounds of fluid and was in congestive heart failure. They nearly killed her. I wouldn't let this facility care for my dog! My Grandma is now thriving and walking again after Rehab at a much better facility!

My mother chose this facility several years before a massive stroke. Overall, we have been quite satisfied with the facility and staff. They are consistently pleasant and helpful, even though we know they are almost always very busy. There are not all that many options in rural central New York state, and Crouse is one of the better options. I do think there are areas for improvement. First, there is just too much noise in the facility, specifically with loud and repetitive resident alarms/bells. In addition, many residents keep their television on all day at high volumes. Beyond noise, I've been a touch frustrated trying to make sure that my mother is getting the medical care we've discussed, along with results. Nothing has slipped, but sometimes it takes longer than it should (again, rural healthcare is a challenge) or learn of the outcome.

My wife had an unusual experience during a recent stay at the United Methodist Hilltop Campus. She…read morehad had a hip fracture while out of town and stayed 2 weeks at a Transitional Care Unit there. When she was strong enough to travel, she transfered to Hilltop to finish rehab, sufficient to return home and transition to in-home care. Initially her experience was fine and she felt fortunate for her treatment, especially the therapy .And, during the Labor-day holiday when the skeleton crew of aids were generally inattentive, she felt confident while taking care of her toilet and personal needs, getting out of and back into bed and using a walker to get to the bathroom without aid. Her recovery was confirmed 3 days later when her Orthopedic Surgeon said that she was cleared to put full weight on her mending hip AND GO HOME. Everyone told her she was progressing fine so she fully expected to depart there for home the following day but the social services person told her she must wait for the facilities doctor to"release" her that morning..We gathered her belongings and waited for the doctor to arrive but by noon, when ,we inquired, we were told that the doctor would not be in for 3 or 4 days. My wife told the social services person that she was anxious to go home now, but that person was opposed because she said their therapist did not approve. Fully frustrated, my wife said that she was not going to stay. Thereupon the social services person said that she MUST sign a release stating that she was departing without approval and, consequentially their facility has no LIABILITY. I advised my wife not to sign their form but, now fully frustrated, she agreed. I added a note praising the care she received and she signed. Thereafter the social services person told her that Hilltop will not refer her for in-home care and, basically, would not provide any further support. She added "don't ever come back for any reason". As we left in our wheel chair my wife was very visibly upset. Once we got home I asked my wife which of her medications (she's a heart/lung patient) she had been given today but she could not remember. So I called Hilltop and asked the male person who answered the care unit phone which medications she had been given and what medications were due today. He responded that they would not give my wife that information nor provide any further assistance whatever, that she should consult her "community doctor". I find that response cruel, spiteful and totally inconsistent with the Methodist principles as I understand them,AND POSSIBLY CRIMINAL. But Hilltop probably has nothing to fear because they have a form stating that they are not liable.
