Assisted Living Communities in New York, NY

"I like Castle Senior Living at Forest Hills. However, I wasn't too keen about where it was located. I didn't particularly care for that area because it was a little difficult to get to if you're not driving. That was my only complaint. The staff was very informative and very friendly. They showed me around. I saw where they eat, and I saw one of the rooms where my loved one would be staying. I think they're basically the same. I believe they have a nurse on duty 24/7. I like it. I like their balcony. Everybody had somebody watching out for them."

"I visited Sutton Gardens twice, once by myself and once with my mom. The tour experience was very good. The administrator, I think her name is Jessica, was very helpful. She gave a thorough tour and gave information regarding what it would cost to house my dad if we would choose the community. The facility was very nice and very well maintained. They had enough staff. It wasn't overcrowded with residents. It was a small community, which was very encouraging because then I know that they won't be overwhelmed, and they can tend to the patients in their care. The dining area was well set up. They had small round tables, which were intimate and had four or five residents per table. And the staff was very helpful. I didn't try the food, but it looked good. The residents were eating during the tour. They do arts and crafts with the residents, which is good. They also have bingo. They have a TV room and an outdoor space, which was very good. It wasn't a large community, but it was good enough for a senior citizen or someone dealing with Alzheimer's. Like my dad, he's unsteady on his feet, but I don't worry about him being a fall risk there because the staff seemed very helpful when it came to the patients and their care."

"During my visit at Atria Forest Hills, everybody looked very content and happy. They would be administrating my husband's medicine and redirecting him, which is good. It looks like my husband would be comfortable there. The place was comfortable, and nobody seemed to be stressed. The tour was great. Everybody seemed to be on point about what we would like done. They fulfilled our needs as far as answering questions and showing us around. They were very well organized. They have a refrigerator. They have towels and linens. It's very clean. Three meals a day are included. There's a nice restaurant with a nice menu. Everybody was pleasant. They have a clean dining area. The staff who gave the tour was very knowledgeable."

"Atria Riverdale is very, very nice. The area is nice. They showed us a room, and it was a nice room. I saw people outside sitting down and enjoying themselves. I really, really like it. The staff was very, very nice. She knew how to explain everything, and she showed us everything. She was very, very good. The dining area looked very nice, very clean, and very professional. The food is the way it should be. It's separated, not together. It's very nice."

"My dad will move into Amber Court of Pelham Gardens. The representative, Ashley, was excellent. The staff was excellent, the place was super clean, and it had a very sociable atmosphere. They were playing bingo. They had a beautiful dining and social area. They had a very nice patio. The food was good. It's not an old facility. It's very updated. The carpet was nice, and everything was good."

"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."

"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."

"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 am a POA for my friend who is a resident of Junniper Village and I can only praise the care and treatment she has received. The staff is very accommodating and helpful with your needs. The facility is very warm and welcoming. It is decorated for all holidays to make the facility extra festive. There is a very large dining room and a diversified menu. Activities are available where many friends are made. Juniper Village is a safe place where you can consider for your loved one."

"I toured The Willows Home. It's lovely. I talked to a couple of residents, and they're very happy there. The nurse said that they have three meals a day, entertainment, and a beautiful common room. The bedrooms were very nice. The entire place is clean, but it's not what we're looking for right now. The dining area was lovely. They have a beautiful dining table, and everyone has a place at the table. She showed me the well-stocked kitchen. They have three hot meals a day, plus snacks are available to the residents. The staff was very gracious and very understanding. She showed me around, a very nice lady. The facility was very clean and had a very pleasant smell. The bathrooms were clean. The toilets were clean. I have nothing bad to say about it. It was a very nice place. They're somewhere I would consider if they had the accessibility that my father needs right now."

"Harborview Senior Living is the place that I am suggesting to my friend's sister and her family. It's a really lovely facility. I got a chance to talk to some of the people there, and they're very happy with being there. I liked the ease with which the admissions officer, Angelica, was able to help us understand what is necessary for the transition of going into Harborview. It was just a very good experience. The staff answered all questions with a thoroughness that I have not experienced in other places. They had all the facilities that we needed. They have a gym, a sunroom, and a courtyard. Everything is there that we need. It is near restaurant facilities. It's a lovely neighborhood. When you walk out, you feel that you are in an area that is safe as well as there's the availability for not just restaurants, but also other things such as hospitals and other nursing facilities."

"We toured Mira Vie at Clifton. The only thing that wasn't good about it was the pricing, but the facility was beautiful. It was clean, there was stuff to do, and limited outdoor space. The staff was super friendly and nice. We met the activities director there, the woman who manages the place, and several staff members along the way. They were all friendly and lovely. The building looks lovely from the outside."
