Assisted Living Communities in Albany, NY

"I like the suburban setting of Peregrine Senior Living at Guilderland. It was very pleasantly decorated. It seemed a very comfortable place."

"I will move into Eddy Hawthorne Ridge, and I had a very good complete tour. I didn't realize there was no washer and dryer, but that was the only little hiccup in the whole thing. They have flooring put into the bedroom because I don't like rugs in the bedroom, and they're just a source of bacteria. They have a regular meal program. What I like most about Hawthrone is that I originally lived down in that area. I had a home down in Valatie, and all my best friends are down there. I'll only be about ten miles from the Valatie so I can go down. I may even be able to get back to some of my doctors, even down there, that I hated leaving. It's got everything I want Elizabeth is wonderful. She's very accommodating, down to earth, and a great person. She is there to deliver all these things you want. I like the smallness of that place. The rooms were nice, large, and airy. I just felt comfortable when I went in there. The chef was there for 21 years, so he must be doing something right. In the room where I am staying now, I walk miles to the dining room, and it's hard for me, but in Eddy Hawthorne Ridge, all I have to do is take the little elevator, and I'll be right there and comfortable. I like the feel of the place in general. I can park my car right back by my room and walk in and out easily when I go grocery shopping."

"We are leaning towards the Terrace at Eddy Memorial. A big factor is they're associated with St. Peter's Hospital Services, and we're already associated with a lot of the St. Peter's medical facilities in terms of doctors and needs. That seems to work well for us. Overall, everything was a "five." The staff during the tour was very helpful. In fact, we had a second tour. The first one was limited because they were having an unexpected inspection, so we went back, and she gave us another tour of places that we couldn't see the first time. They had all the common amenities, and we got to see patios, an activity room, and outdoor spaces, so that was good. We felt that it was very homey. They have the rooms that we were interested in on the first floor and close to the dining room, and the way it was laid out was nice."

"The Glen Eddy is an absolutely marvelous place. My first impression was, “Wow, this is really nice.” It looked very good and modern, and the people we saw were very active with games and lots of activities. It was just very nicely setup. They had an art room, a swimming pool with a hot tub, they have a hair dresser, a barber shop, and the restaurant is excellent. It just had a lot to offer, and the person who gave us the tour was very nice."

"My tour at Glen Eddy was good. But since my mother's not ambulatory, I didn't like the layout of the place. The staff who gave the tour was fine. My mother was not ambulatory and she was like focusing on aspects of the place that really wouldn't apply to my mother. Like she would show me the walking path, my mother is never going to go on the walking path I explained that to her, but it didn't seem to register. I saw the dining area, it looked clean but I didn't try their food. I also saw physical therapy, which I thought was good. I saw a pool and an art room, and I saw them cooking there. They have everything and I like the security that they had there. They let you opt out of the food plan if you want to opt out. You don't get a whole lot of money back, it's like $200 a month if you opt out, which isn't a whole lot, but at least they give you the option. The apartments and the facility itself were beautiful."

"My father has been in MillView of Latham. My only complaint is when he complains that he doesn't always like the food, or the portions are smaller. The staff is very nice. They have transportation to doctors' appointments, medication management, they do laundry and housekeeping. They provide entertainment. They play games there. They do weekly outings to like stores, whether it's Walmart or other various stores to give the residents a chance to get out and go shopping. They do various things."

"I toured Brookdale Niskayuna. I was very pleased with Brookdale Niskayuna. They had a very nice set-up. They had very nice people. I would have done it myself, but it's not strictly up to me and it's definitely up to my brother. The staff who toured me was very good. She answered all my questions. She showed me around to a couple of different rooms and dining rooms. She was very, very good. They have quite a few dining rooms that were broken down in different ways. If you don't want to eat with a lot of people, there are small dining rooms. If you like it more crowded and with more people around, they have larger dining rooms. The place looked very good to me. It looked clean and neat from what I saw. It was well taken care of. You didn't see people sitting around in wheelchairs or anything. They were either doing something or in their rooms or whatever, but they weren't all just hanging around in wheelchairs sitting in hallways and stuff, which was nice."

"The tour we had at Danforth Adult Care Center was excellent. We were touring for memory care for my wife. I felt the place was exceptionally clean, and the rooms were nice. The residents' rooms did not have hospital beds. It was regular furniture, and you can hang pictures to put on your wall. You can also have some of your own furniture for whatever there might be room for. I felt that the staff was attentive and not in a strictly business way. I noticed how two of the residents who are living there were interacting with them on a personal basis, rather than strictly a patient-nurse type of thing. The sitting areas outside were nice, too. There was an area in an alcove off the interior where the wind was blocked, so you could sit in sunshine or shade. The chairs and everything out there were nice. It just sounded like it was all quite good."

"I visited Home Sweet Home at Athens. It's assisted living and it was clean, pleasant, and seemed to be a good facility. It was smaller, just one large building. The actual place looked good and the dining room is okay. The nice thing about it is you could walk out to the stores in the neighborhood. There are small convenience stores and a library around the area, so that's something good about it. The building has steps though so you would need to be ambulatory."

"We toured the Promenade at University Place. It was very well-organized and very clean. The rooms were roomy. The bathrooms were very roomy. The person who helped us, Brittney, was excellent. It seems like there are a lot of activities and a lot of interaction, which is what you want. The place, I thought was up kept very well."

"My parents live at the Massry Residence and they love it. We had much resistance in getting them here, but once they settled in, my mother asked why they hadn't done it before. They love the activities - and there are tons! Their laundry and housekeeping are done for them on a regular schedule and as needed. The care staff members are excellent, providing advice, making appointments, and offering a caring ear. "

"Delmar Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing was very pleasant and the surroundings were very nice. The rooms were very nice and the people were very accommodating. The person that showed us around and the admissions office was very good and very helpful. The dining room was also nice. The only problem was it would have to be self-pay and we couldn't do that. So, that was the only setback."
