    Declined care after management change

    I was initially very happy with The Homestead at Rochester - clean, freshly painted large apartments, friendly aides, excellent food, lovely grounds and lots of amenities. After a management change there was high staff turnover: temporary staff were often unresponsive, housekeeping vanished for months, laundry/showers were inconsistent, the lobby sometimes unattended, and there were medication administration failures (even missing meds) and a belittling nurse manager. Meals became inconsistent (sourced outside, poor wait staff at times), prices rose, and internet was slow. I ultimately moved to a different facility but would recommend with caution - verify current staffing, med policies, and meal quality first.
