Assisted Living Communities in East Elmhurst, NY

"Atria West 86 was wonderful. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and gave a lot of their time. I appreciated it. I like the location in particular. Most of the rooms overlook the Hudson, and it's half a block away from a lovely park. It was very nice. I felt like I met all of the administrators, and everyone, including the cleaning people whom I happened to bump into in the elevator or wherever, were all very friendly and welcoming. I had lunch there and it was very nice. It's a very old building. It used to be a hotel at one time, and then changes were made. It was very clean."

"Brooklyn Adult Care Center is clean and everything inside. The staff was pleasant. The tour was good. They have a lot of activities. I looked at one of the rooms and it's nice. I think my mom will be comfortable there. For activities, they have a pool table. There's a patio where you can go out and sit. There's an activity room and a lady there, who was reading the newspaper. And then there are different games that they can play. The staff who gave the tour was very nice."

"One of my church brothers is there at Pelham Gardens. It is a nice place. It is clean and nice. They have a lot of activities, especially in the summer time. They have the 24-hour care too with nurses. The staff is very nice. For the few times we go there in the day time, they're pretty good. They don't have the attitude. It is a nice community of people. They have activities like line dancing for the old folks, movies, and ping-pong. It is like a home because they can bring some of my friend's furniture. It is like a home away from home. Their rooms are very clean. It is another place for people who have few dollars. I could see this is a very clean place. It is also a pretty big place. "

"Sunrise of Edgewater was well maintained and and had friendly staff. They were very helpful and answered all my questions. The dining area looked fine. They have exercise classes, memory games, and outdoor areas."

"Coterie Hudson Yards is very nice, but it's very expensive. I went on a tour of their assisted living and the rooms are beautiful, the staff is very friendly, and the food is wonderful. It's almost like a restaurant-type atmosphere where you can order drinks with all types of food and entertainment. You have the piano player going while you're eating. The people are polite and professional. I also had a meal with them. They have a wonderful menu and a chef right on the premises. Their rooms are not shared, but they also accommodate couples. They take the residents on tours down to Manhattan and go to different places and different restaurants. It's a wonderful place."

"We toured Atria Cutter Mill. They have lovely staff and nice facilities. It was good. They provide three meals a day. They had limited kitchens. They had a microwave and a refrigerator. I don't remember if they had a stove. If they did, it was a very small stove. My uncle likes to cook, and he would not be able to make some of his cakes and cookies that he likes to share. So, that would not be the optimal choice."

"Atria Park of Great Neck is the best in terms of cleanliness, level of care, and professionalism. They're top-notch. My father's been there for two weeks now and I visited him many times. The only problem he complains about is the lack of Chinese-speaking staff over there. They have someone who is Chinese, but there's only one and she's also the nurse supervisor. So, I don't want her to be bogged down by this question because she has her duty already. Beyond that, his room is OK. The environment is nice. This place is good. As far as the staff, I don't have much to complain about. They are pretty good. I haven't seen the meals up close because they don't allow family in the dining room but the setting is very good. They escort my father to the dining room for three meals. So, he has enough exposure, including the trip to the dining room, activities, and all that. The facility itself, compared to the other places I visited, is very clean. There's no smell in the air. They're relatively new, in fact, compared to other places. I was there the other day and I've seen their activity that involves the whole residency. They try and the participation from the residents is good (if they can participate). People who do not have the mental or physical capacity, are present, but they don't necessarily have people to help them really to fully enjoy the environment. It's pretty expensive. If there is something that can be improved, that would be the cost side, but I don't think that's something wrong. There's a slight delay in their response to someone who presses the request button, but it's minor. If they could allow my father to have an electric wheelchair, it would probably help him some, because he is not fully mobile on one side so a regular wheelchair is not all that useful, but they don't allow it. He has to be moved around by a person. They respond to requests like "Can I get a better bed for him to get out?" and they ordered a hospital bed for him. So that helped. I asked whether they could get a better seat cushion because he is not able to sit in a regular wheelchair for a long time and they respond to that sort of thing. They're minor things. I don't think it's a big deal."

"I toured Atria Riverdale, and that was my favorite place, but it was too expensive. The staff was wonderful. The place was very impressive and very clean. Everyone was super nice. I walked by while they were eating and the food looked delicious. The place was immaculate, and if I had the money, my mother would be there. Their rooms were big. Even their standard room was almost the size of a full apartment. Their deluxe room was beautiful, and I'm pretty sure that their one-bedroom apartment is bigger than my first apartment."

"I toured Harbour View Senior Living. The rooms are big enough, and everything is comfortable. Also, I got the opportunity because everything is included, including the meals, medical attention in case some emergency shows up, and nursing service in case I need it. A parking lot is also included. I can park my car anywhere because there are a lot of areas to park my car, so it's very convenient for me. There is a social room where people can meet and make a program. The price is not very cheap, but it's correct because everything is included. The people were very kind and nice."

"My mom is in Wartburg. She went there for rehab, and they have an assisted living program right there, so we transferred her from rehab right to assisted living. To me, the place is excellent. They have excellent care there. She had excellent care in the rehab center. They have excellent ratings. She is in senior housing now. The staff is wonderful. I haven't had a problem. They're very pleasant and very easy to talk to. They take care of my mother, which is the main thing. She has a studio apartment and she's very happy. Her room is excellent. It's clean. They come in constantly to do housekeeping. They're very excellent. Basically, they remodeled the place and it's beautiful. The grounds are beautiful. She is getting very good care there. The food is good. There's three meals a day. If you don't like what they're serving you, you can get plenty of substitutes. Whatever you want, the chef makes it for you. Right now, because of the COVID, they only have a music program, trivia, and Jeopardy. They don't have too many activities. They can't have anybody from the outside come in. The music program is nice. They have somebody coming in twice a week to do music. It was also the most reasonable place that we checked out."

"I went to see Sunrise at Fleetwood's assisted living. I spoke with a staff member, and the person was very nice, friendly, and informative. I toured the rooms and I thought they were very nice, with a nice setup. I thought it had enough space. I think I saw the dining area, too. They also had some benches in a nice area out in the front. Everything was acceptable and nice."

"Sunrise at Mill Basin was a beautiful place, but it was very expensive. It's assisted living, but they also take care of dementia like my sister. It's very luxurious. The director was the only one I had contact with. She was very good and very informative."

"We toured Sunrise of North Lynbrook. They showed us the cafeteria in this facility, but they didn't offer food. They showed us where the residents would be eating. Everything was top-notch. It was very clean. As you walk in, you're greeted by somebody at the desk. It was a secure place, and they offered a lot."
