"I was a little impressed with Atria. I liked the idea that it was a month-to-month basis and not a long term commitment. However, I just saw so many seniors sitting around. I questioned that and they told me that the active people were out. I didn't like that type of atmosphere. The staff was helpful though. They toured me around and they explained the different areas. They had different types of rooms and I thought they were satisfactory. They had a lot of activities scheduled. They had dining facilities and people could get snacks anytime of the day. It looked like a very good facility and I would recommend them to others. "

"Forget the cold, dreary and bleak world of nursing homes. This place is cozy. The facilities are in a very quiet area, which is a great environment for providing palliative elderly care. The staff I met with were extremely friendly and willing to answer my multitudes of questions. They were extremely patient, which was a great sign considering my loved one's declining brain function. The reason we visited was to check out options for my loved one. This place eased some of our fears about assisted living, and definitely gave us a standard to hold other facilities up to. We ended up not using this facility only for its distance from our family, otherwise we would have definitely had our loved one here. However, everybody is different, so definitely look at a facility with your own eyes to determine if a place is right for your family member or friend. All in all, this place was nice! "

"I went to The Veranda Assisted Living. When they showed me the rooms and how they renovated certain things, it looked good. At first, I saw people like they were under the influence of alcohol. According to the state law, they cannot stop them from going out of the building, but if they are drinking in the building, then they're going to get penalized. When I was going in, I saw some people drinking, but they were standing outside. When I spoke to the manager, she said they could go out and they could drink, but they cannot use it in the building. The building was clean. They're doing a lot of renovations. They showed me the place where they're eating. It was nice and neat. They said they are doing renovation, floor by floor, coming down, so the whole building is going to be renovated eventually, and it looks good. The manager was helpful. The dining area was nice and clean. They said they have activities for them. They have special therapy, too."

"Moving my mom here was such a tough decision, but from the moment we walked in, I just felt this sense of relief. The staff isn’t just doing a job—they truly care, and it shows in the way they treat everyone like family. The rooms feel cozy and comfortable, not sterile or cold, which made the transition so much easier. Most importantly, I know mom is safe, looked after, and surrounded by people who genuinely want the best for them. For the first time in a long time, I can breathe easy knowing they’re not just okay—they’re happy."

"Spring Hills has exceptional activities staff. Speaking as a family member of a resident in the memory care section, known as Spring Cottage, I can say that the activities staff are incredible. They provide physical activity such as chair yoga and group exercise, as well as involve the Spring Cottage residents in events, BBQs, and other activities held in the community. They are really incredible at keeping them engaged! Well done."

"Sunrise of New Dorp was brand new, so it was beautiful and they got the latest of everything. If I had the means, I probably would have given them a deposit, but the fees were just too expensive for me. They were moving people in because they had just opened, but they were all very nice and very accommodating. They have doctors there and other things that can help you a little bit more with your care."

"It was more upscale. The place looked clean and well kept. But they were not really walkable. So, if somebody who had some independence and wanted to walk outside and go someplace to pick up a bagel or go to a restaurant, they were not conducive to that. I also didn't see many mobile residents there. "

"The staff knew everybody there, and they were very friendly and very welcoming. It was very clean. The rooms had more than some of the other places I visited, like there was a microwave and a refrigerator as opposed to some of these places where you have to bring your own. My mother is there now, and they have enough activities for her where they do things, she could go back and rest in her room, and then come down later for a new activity."

"I visited Brighton Gardens of Edison. I was escorted by one person, who was very nice and had only been there for two months so she was excited about the job. I met a couple of the residents who seemed to be enjoying themselves, so that says something. The rooms were nice but kind of small, and the closet space was tiny. The residents were engaged in playing bingo, sitting around talking, and they had a book club. The people that I talked to were pleasant. It's an older building, but it was clean which is important, and I didn't see any dirt in the corners. I didn't care for the entrance-way, I had to walk through the other unit, which was like a hospital."

"I liked the tour I had at The Willows Home. It was good. I like the staff who gave the tour, and they called me after that. They seemed to be nice people. I like the price, too, and I think the staff was courteous. It's a house that they transformed into assisted living because the house has about 12 rooms. The house is very old, but it's clean. The layout is good."

"It was my mom's first choice. It's a much older facility and a little larger scale than the others. The people and the staff were very friendly. They have satellite dining areas and a main dining room. I ate food in the main dining room once and it was pretty tasty. There was entertainment going on, and the people were having a lot of fun."

"Jyll, Christine and the entire staff at Heritage is the best you can find! They have kept their residents safe during the pandemic and have communicated with the families to keep them updated on the changing statuses. My father has lived in Assisted Living for a number of years and we could not be happier with the care and attention he has received. I am so thankful that Jyll has taken the necessary steps to keep her residents safe, even when those choices may not be popular. My father is a happy and healthy 90 year old, thanks to the care he has received at Heritage. Keep up the good work!!!"

"The facility was really good. We took our mother in law over there last year since she is now almost 80 years old and since my wife is now going to work, there was no way we could take care of her. The nursing staff was extremely friendly and took great care of her until she passed away earlier this year. Whenever we visited, my wife would always ask my MIL about the facility and you could tell that she was satisfied. She obviously wasn't very happy because she didn't get to play with my kids all the time but what can you do. "

"The apartments were much too small in Coterie Hudson Yards. I'm a very large person, so they are completely out. I'm not ready for anything like that yet. So, my number one dealmaker was the size of the apartments. I could not be comfortable in their one-bedroom. The staff was friendly. The tour guide was excellent. The food was mediocre, though. I asked for a medium rare hamburger. It did not come; it came more well done. I asked for a toasted bun, but the bun was not toasted."
