The Best Assisted Living Communities in Oneida County, NY

"We toured The New Burton Homestead. The tour was excellent. The people had their rooms, and then there were common rooms where they could watch TV or play games. The dining area was small, but it was comfortable. It was a small facility. I think they may only have had 20 rooms. The staff was outstanding, answered all our questions, and were with us the whole time, walking around and showing us. I thought my sister would have been happy, though. The original building was fine, but with the layout inside, I thought the room was small."

"Presbyterian Homes & Services was clean and well-kept. It was well organized as far as community rooms and living spaces. They had plenty of activities. Mom liked the room that she is going to have very much. She was happy to know that she could bring her own stuff. She liked the fact that there was going to be more care, so she felt safer. The residents we saw were from all stages of assisted living and we appreciated that. We liked the fact that it was a come and go building. You didn't have to feel locked up. You could go out when you wanted to. Mom liked the freedom of it. The facility looked great. It looked more like an apartment building. We had very few questions because the staff answered everything completely. Kelly was wonderful and super caring. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide."

"My dad is now at Lutheran Home of Central New York. He went in May 1st. The staff is wonderful. The building itself is 100 years old, but it is very clean and very homey. The residents seem happy. My dad seems to fit right in going to meals. They're going to manage his medication. The staff seems very competent and trusting. My dad isn't much into group activities but they invited him to bingo and other activities. He either accepted or declined, so they respect his choice. He goes to the dining room, which is a good sign. They are very proactive about getting him involved. Food is very good. It is the only place that has continuum of care. They have independent, assisted, skilled or rehab and memory care. That's what I was looking for."

"Cedarbrook Village, Incorporated is nicer than the other place. It was nice, but they didn't have an opening. My sister would thrive there. She was familiar with this place, which is how we got onto that in the first place. Plus, it is in the community that she knows. We just thought Cedarbrook Village was better. The staff members were very, very helpful. It looked beautiful, well-kept, and clean. It looked perfect."

"We made our initial visit to The Terrace At Woodland Assisted Living. The facility was clean and looked comfortable and homey. The person who walked us through did a nice job of explaining everything to us. The dining area was comfortable. It had round tables that seat four people each. They also have entertainment there at times, and the place seemed very clean. The rooms were appropriate because they're bigger and my mother and father wanted to be together. They had a deluxe room we looked at and then we also looked at a semi-private one because we could get two adjoining semi-privates for them."

"The staff who showed us the Hazel L. Carpenter Home did a fine job giving us a tour of the place, and I had heard good things about it. I saw that the residents needed to share bathrooms as well as showers. I just did not think that would be a good fit for my mother. "
