Senior Living Director,The GreenFields Continuing Care Community
(LANCASTER, NEW YORK) The Niagara Lutheran Health System announces the opening of the newest addition to The GreenFields Continuing Care Community on Broadway in Lancaster, GreenField Terrace, which will add memory care and enhanced assisted living to the list of senior living services provided on the campus. The official dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony took place on Saturday, January 12, 2013, with nearly one hundred people in attendance.
GreenField Terrace consists of four separate houses surrounding a beautifully landscaped, enclosed courtyard. In three of the houses, residents with a primary diagnosis of dementia will receive individualized attention 24 hours a day. In the fourth house, people whose needs fall between traditional assisted living and skilled nursing will receive the enhanced assisted living care they need.
In each household, residents will have their own private bedroom and bath and share a common living room, kitchen and dining room. They will be able to decide what time they want to get up, when they want to eat, and what activities they want to do each day – just like home. In addition, everyone in the household will work together to make decisions, like what the weekly menu should be or whether or not to have a pet become part of their household.
Jurgen Arndt, President/CEO of the Niagara Lutheran Health System, which owns and operates The GreenFields, says, “As a mission driven organization, we are pleased to be able to add memory care and enhanced assisted living to the services already provided on our campus so that residents and their families have even more options to choose from when special needs arise. The advantage for residents is that they can stay on campus with their friends nearby, and we make the transition as smooth and comfortable as possible.”
GreenField Terrace is part of The GreenFields Continuing Care Community where residents have priority access to all the services provided on campus – residential apartment homes, assisted living apartments, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, outpatient therapy and, now, memory care and enhanced assisted living.
The GreenFields Continuing Care Community is located at 5949-5979 Broadway in Lancaster. GreenField Health & Rehabilitation Center opened its doors in 1998. GreenField Manor and GreenField Court opened in 2001. All are affiliates of the Niagara Lutheran Health System, along with the Niagara Lutheran Home & Rehabilitation Center, which has served the people of Buffalo for 55 years.

How did patients escape from the facility on December 11,2014 at 11:15 P.M. and it never make the news? They were wandering across Broadway ( a 4 lane highway) when a car stopped and the aid or nurse(?) yelled " call 911 they're escaping". The Lancaster police arrived within 90 seconds and thankfully no one was killed by traffic that swerved to avoid hitting them. If I had a loved one there I believe I would have a right to know. ( as well as insurance companies and Medicare and Medicaid. How does this not make the news?
