2018 Reader Rankings Best Assisted Living Facility | Heathwood Assisted Living & Memory Care - Penfield, NY

We have even more great news about the Rochester Business Journal’s Reader Rankings

 

We have even more great news about the Rochester Business Journal’s Reader Rankings . Last month we revealed that Heathwood Assisted Living at Penfield was among the winners in the Assisted Living category. The winners were celebrated at the first annual Rochester Reader Rankings Gala on August 1st where it was announced that Heathwood was named the Best Assisted Living Facility!

 

Through multiple rounds of nominations and voting our families, friends, and fans supported us to take the leading spot as top winner in assisted living.

 

Heathwood was nominated earlier this year when Rochester Business Journal and The Daily Record asked readers to nominate their favorite companies to be included on the Reader Rankings ballot. We were nominated among four other assisted living communities in the Health Care category.

 

Once the nominations were in, the second round of voting opened, and Heathwood was named a finalist. We received the most votes for Assisted Living and earned a plaque honoring the achievement at the Reader Rankings Gala.

 

“Often, it’s the little everyday moments in assisted living between staff and residents that strengthen bonds, enrich lives, and improve care,” said Bonnie Goodwin, Administrator. “Our care is what sets us apart and we’re honored to be recognized for what we do every day.”

 

We take pride in caring for our residents – earning the nominations and votes of those who put their trust in us makes it that much more rewarding to serve our residents each day.
