Heathwood Assisted Living Named Family-Owned Small Business of the Year by Amherst Chamber of Commerce
We are honored to announce that Heathwood Assisted Living & Memory Care has been named the Family-Owned Business of the Year by the Amherst Chamber of Commerce. This distinguished recognition celebrates Heathwood's longstanding commitment to providing exceptional senior care while remaining a family-owned and operated business dedicated to serving Western New York for nearly five decades.
The award recognizes organizations that demonstrate excellence in business, meaningful community involvement, and a lasting commitment to the people they serve. For Heathwood, this recognition reflects not only years of dedication but also the trust placed in the organization by generations of residents, families, employees, and community partners.
As a third-generation family-owned business, Heathwood has built its reputation by focusing on compassionate care, personalized service, and creating a welcoming environment where seniors can thrive with dignity, comfort, and independence.
A Recognition That Reflects Nearly 50 Years of Service
Since 1978, Heathwood Assisted Living & Memory Care has proudly served seniors and families through our locations in Williamsville, NY and Penfield, NY. Throughout that time, our team has remained committed to one simple mission: providing high-quality assisted living and memory care while treating every resident like family.
Unlike large corporate senior living organizations, Heathwood continues to operate with the personal attention that only an independent, family-owned community can provide. Decisions are made locally, relationships are built personally, and every member of the team shares a commitment to delivering exceptional care.
We were truly honored to accept the Amherst Chamber of Commerce's Family-Owned Business of the Year Award. This recognition means so much to us because it reflects the values that have guided Heathwood since 1978 and the relationships we have built with residents, families, employees, and our community over the years.
Special Congressional and Legislative Recognitions
We were also deeply honored to receive Special Congressional and Legislative Recognitions during the awards ceremony from Congressman Tim Kennedy, Assemblywoman Karen McMahon, and Congressman Nicholas Langworthy.
We are grateful for their recognition and appreciate their support of family-owned businesses and the work being done to care for older adults throughout Western New York.
What This Recognition Means to Us
Awards like this are a wonderful milestone, but they are also a reminder of the responsibility we have carried since Heathwood first opened its doors in 1978.
Every day, our team has the privilege of caring for older adults and supporting their families through important moments in life. Receiving this recognition from the Amherst Chamber of Commerce encourages us to continue providing the compassionate, personalized care that has defined Heathwood for nearly five decades.
As we celebrate this honor, we remain committed to the values that have always guided us: treating every resident with dignity, supporting families with compassion, and creating a community where people truly feel at home.
Thank You to Our Residents, Families, and Staff
This recognition belongs to every caregiver who provides compassionate support, every nurse who delivers exceptional clinical care, every dining and housekeeping team member who helps create a comfortable environment, every activities professional who enriches daily life, and every staff member who contributes to making Heathwood a place residents proudly call home.
Most importantly, it belongs to the residents and families who have trusted Heathwood for generations.
Your confidence inspires us to continue raising the standard for assisted living and memory care throughout Western New York.
