My father has stayed at the skilled nursing facility 2 times. He was allowed to escape twice and security both times had to go find him. Thank God he was found safe. The St Ann's people will convince you that once you're in the St Ann's "system" your loved one will always be cared for. This is far from the truth. My family is currently looking at places outside of the so called system due to facilities being full or others just not capable of caring for my father. You would think they would be more helpful but they're not.

My mother was recently a rehab patient (12 days) at St Ann’s on Portland Ave in Irondequoit, on the 8th floor, the Browncroft wing. She was recovering from a partial hip replacement & a broken wrist in a big cast. This place is bright & very clean, a cleaning person came every other day to mop floors, garbage emptied daily. Her room was large & comfortable w/ a dresser, closet, cupboards, nightstand, phone, large TV w/ many channels, a large bathroom w/ shower, sink, toilet, commode & a sturdy shower chair. We noticed that Not all rooms are the same, though. She received both OT & PT services M-F & one on Sat. She thought the meals were delicious with a lot of variety, she got to choose her meals. The aides were loving, helpful & competent. Most of the nurses were caring & competent too. Some days they were short staffed, but over all her needs were met and she would recommend this place. We felt lucky.
