FAIRPORT, N.Y. – Friday was the deadline for elderly residents living at The Northfield in Fairport to be out of the facility. However, about ten residents remain, with three of them having no other options as of yet.

Folks were busy moving their relatives out Friday. These were the fortunate ones who have found a new place to live. But inside, employees told News10NBC that about ten residents remain.
At a meeting on July 14, the chair of the board of Family Service of Rochester told residents if they hadn’t found a place by July 25, the Department of Health had approved an emergency plan that included shelters if necessary. But on Friday, employees said the facility is staying open for at least another week with a skeleton staff. However, those staff members don’t know if they’re going to be paid.
The kitchen staff have all been let go, so employees are relying on the volunteer service Meals on Wheels to provide meals next week. Employees also said all the overnight staff have been let go, so some employees have volunteered to spend the night at the facility with the residents who remain.
News10NBC asked the Department of Health repeatedly if it actually approved putting these elderly residents in shelters. A spokesman said, “Family Service of Rochester must remain open until the last resident is safely discharged.”
Some residents are despondent. One woman News10NBC talked to is being moved to a facility in Hilton she’s never seen. As you can imagine, if you’re poor, elderly and have no advocate this is an extremely stressful time.
News10NBC reached out to the leaders of Family Service and have not yet heard back. We will continue to follow the situation.
