Assisted Living Communities in Far Rockaway, NY

"Sunrise at Sheepshead Bay is OK. Everybody was pleasant. The rooms are a lot larger, and they look clean. They have one large room where they come in to do the activities. They can get their hair done on certain days. They have a manicurist come to do their manicure and pedicure. They have an outdoor time where they are supposed to go out every day. The facility is clean and well lit. For me, it was a nice welcoming experience. "

"My 100 year old aunt lives at Castle. We visited this past week and were so happy with the care and amenities. All staff always helpful, I am so grateful for my brothers choice here at Castle! It was wonderful to interact and view the attention and respect they all receive. Thank you all for being so understanding and caring. Bravo to all office members who put out so much effort in running a well rounded HAPPY place!"

"My relative lives here and I can tell you that we are very happy with the care she receives. The administrator is always available when we have questions and she gives us updates with pictures all the time. I don’t know what we would have done without them - they are a godsend "

"Atria was beautiful. They had entertainment and things to keep their people busy. They were a bit more pricey than the other one I visited, but they offered quite a few more amenities. "

"I just visited Amber Court of Westbury. The staff is very friendly. You can tell that the staff are very passionate about their jobs. I do recommend this place. "

"The Arbors Westbury was very homey and very nice. The facility is very clean. We saw the activity room, and there was a lot of stuff going on. It was sufficient for my mom. My mom went there, and she liked it as well. The staff members were very nice and friendly. I liked the one-bedroom and the bathrooms, especially because they had updated rails and toilets for seniors. The only thing I didn't like about the shared room was that it was just a small wall. I saw the menu, and it looked very nice. They had a nice garden. The outdoors and barbecue area were nice. They have 24-hour security. The residents cannot just leave because there is always someone there."

"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."

"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."

"The tour at Amber Court of Pelham Gardens was pretty good and very thorough. They had very nice amenities. They had a library and very good artwork. But they were on double occupancy. They had very few single rooms. They also had an admission code for their own particular care. They had a specific matter of payment."

"I went to tour the Christian Fellowship House for my dad, I thought it was a very positive experience. They have a very home-like setting. They have really lovely and knowledgeable staff. Since it's a smaller environment, it's very home-like for the people who reside there. You could tell that they're well-cared for. It could even be considered that they provide skilled nursing facility-level of care for their residents, so that they don't have to leave that facility at any point, and that they can live the rest of their lives there. The staff who gave the tour's name was Pam, and she was wonderful. She couldn't have been nicer to me, she was very forthcoming, and she offered to help me even if I didn't choose that facility if I had questions about other facilities. She was very forthcoming and very transparent about everything. There are some roommate situations there, which was not what we prefer. They made an effort to have that cozy kind of feel for people so that it didn't feel like they were living in a nursing home or a hospital setting. I saw the dining facilities, I saw the social areas and there was a room where they were doing art projects. I didn't eat the food but I saw people dining for lunch at that time. It's a round table setting. The people who can socialize sat together and the people who were less social or less able to socialize just tended to be grouped also."

"Divine Serenity Assisted Living looked like it was a residence that they converted to individual rooms. The time I was there, as far as I know, the residents were either on a trip or going to the doctor, so there were no residents there. The lady showed me the area where they would be doing work in the building. She also showed me a room. She answered all my questions. She told me how they take care of the residents. They have a nurse that comes in and a doctor. If the resident has to take medicine they take care of that too."

"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 visited the Villas of Holmdel. It's brand new, and it opened two weeks before I went. It was very expensive, and it was extremely gorgeous. It's a dream place for me, I'm not old enough, but it's a dream place for me to go. It didn't have enough residents for what I was looking for. I wanted my mom to have an active life with residents rather than being there. Only 12 people were living in the place at the time, so that was why I didn't stay there. The place was amazing, and it was gorgeous. We were masked; it was very clean, and they were very cautious about following protocol. Not everything was up and running yet, but everything was brand new, stellar, and top of the line. Everything was top-of-the-line, including their salon and barbershop and they had a spa. I guess I didn't leave with a warm, fuzzy feeling. I left with the feeling that I like this place, but it was not going to work. I also met the nurse on staff, and she was super knowledgeable. I felt like I might have been rushed because the person who was supposed to see me went home sick. I was squeezed in on somebody else's schedule, so they probably were rushed, but they did show me everything. They have a little bakery cafe, like a boulangerie cafe and bistro area where you could sit and get little bagels and stuff at this outpost, but it's inside for them. They had a bar set up and a big, all-purpose room for shows, bands, and things. Everything was beautifully decorated, there wasn't a detail missed. There was an escalator and elevators, and there was a fountain, but they were still in the process of getting that running. There were a lot of nice calming features to it. The spa has a liquid, like a hydro bed or hydro massager that you could use. It was an amazing place, plus, they offered a massage. The facility was state-of-the-art. I didn't get an opportunity to taste the food, but they do have a happy hour. They have a drink maximum at their happy hour, you can only have two drinks in the privacy of your own room. It is expensive, but I think that the value equates to their prices."
