The Best Assisted Living Communities in Queens County, NY

"My husband is currently a resident of Atria Park of Lynbrook. He's staying in memory care and he's getting intense physical therapy for his legs. We did have at home physical therapy for a while, but it didn't work very well. Then his doctor suggested that we find at the very least some respite care where he could get help and that brought us to Atria. We signed a contract in case he does have to stay. He might be a permanent resident. He's been there for about two weeks now. I like everything. It is absolutely outstanding from the day I walked in and my son came with me, he felt the same way. It's been newly done, so it's more like a luxury hotel than it is a medical facility. The help from the top right down to all the aides that take care of him are absolutely excellent. He has a private room. It's like a hotel room. It's got chairs to sit in and it's very much like his bedroom at home. They have activities all day long, and they try to encourage these people to go to them. The meals are outstanding. I've been there with him when he's eating. The physical therapists are so caring and so good with him, that in the two weeks, he has made more progress than I've made with him at home in a couple of years. The physical therapist calls me and explains to me what's going on. It's simply wonderful. They have crafts, movies, and lectures. One day I was in there, they had on the screen, a lecture and a questionnaire, like brainteasers and things like that and he was quite receptive to it. The food looked good and it smelled so good, I wish I was eating it myself. The facility is immaculately clean. I'm very satisfied with it. These things are rather expensive because it's private pay, but I'm fortunate enough to, at least at the time being, be able to afford it."

"Sunrise at Mill Basin is fabulous. I visited two locations for Sunrise, and both are great. They have very good service, and it is very clean. They are really good and very attentive. I went with my mom, and she said she would go now if I would pay for her. She was ready to sign up, but she doesn't need assisted living. We all loved it. The facility itself is very spacious, open, and very inviting. It was colorful, and it was very enjoyable. It felt like almost a getaway or a vacation because it was very relaxing. "

"My husband moved into Sunrise at East 56th. The place is gorgeous. The care is very empathetic and professional. I couldn't be happier. The food is delicious. They have a variety of activities. They have a lot of music, singing, walking, arts, and crafts. The rooms are beautiful. They are very accessible, and they listen to you. They are concerned about the family's needs."

"This is a great facility. They offer one and two room suites, which is more than enough for my friend and his wife. There's a great view, as this is right by the bay. The unit is partially furnished with refrigerator and couch. It is TV ready, buy my friend had to bring some of his own furniture into the unit as well. There are a lot of services available at this facility. The 24-hour staff helps with medication regulation, cleaning services, and grooming. There is 24 hour security and there is an emergency button in each room. Dry cleaning and launder services are available, too. On Sundays, there is a worship service for those that are religious. This is really important to my friends. When they want to get out, my friend and his wife have many options. There are many local restaurants and parks where my friend's like to visit. If they want to travel further, there's always public transportation. Central Park and the shows on Broadway are popular places that many residents here like to visit. "

"My mother-in-law is at The Waterford on the Bay. They've been wonderful. They allowed us to pick out what food she likes and they allowed us to bring her clothes. Every time we see her, the aides seem to be feeding her or dressing her or changing her and they're very busy with the other people, too. I have only good things to say about them. They were wonderful from the admission people, to the dietary, to the nursing, and to the aides, and they're going to assess her for rehab. We are very happy she's there. They're always cleaning. She has early dementia, and they have her in the activities that she can do. They were very good to us and they took her right away. I know she's safe, and I could go to sleep and not see her. She's on the Serenity unit."

"The apartments were much too small in Coterie Hudson Yards. I'm a very large person, so they are completely out. I'm not ready for anything like that yet. So, my number one dealmaker was the size of the apartments. I could not be comfortable in their one-bedroom. The staff was friendly. The tour guide was excellent. The food was mediocre, though. I asked for a medium rare hamburger. It did not come; it came more well done. I asked for a toasted bun, but the bun was not toasted."

"I toured Amber Court of Pelham Gardens. It was nice, clean, and calm. They showed me the rec room, the cafeteria, the therapy room, and the outside. The staff was very nice. The layout was fine. The residents were watching TV the day I went there."

"I am a resident at the best senior living place on the eastern seaboard, Atria Riverdale. I'm here for about two months already, and I find everything to my liking, i.e., the cleanliness of the rooms. The room is cleaned every day, and they do the laundry. The place is very friendly. The aides and the staff here are really unbelievable. They're always keeping an eye on you wherever you are in the downstairs area. I just came back from lunch and their meals are delicious and very upscale. In general, I'm very happy. As a matter of fact, I'm waiting for my wife who is rehabbing from a stroke. There were a lot of medical things in my previous apartment and there was no room, so my children took me here in the Atria and I'm quite satisfied. As soon as my wife gets a little better, she will join me here and we'll be here for the rest of our lives. I'm 88 years old and I'm very, very satisfied. This is the place that I would recommend to seniors. There are two floors for memory care and I'm quite satisfied. It's an assisted living with memory care floors. I'm glad that I was transferred here. They keep you busy with games, and the people here have been here for a long time. I'm rather new; I've only been here since March. This would be a very good recommendation for anyone that needs senior care. The staff is very friendly and they have name tags, so you get to know them. The waiting staff for the dining room all wear uniforms. It's very nicely done and everything is kept very clean. Their housekeeping staff is unbelievable. They're on the job all day long. Everybody seems to be happy because they keep them busy. I like bingo, and I've never played bingo before in my life. They're great. Someone is watching me right now. I don't have to be watched, but they stay here and watch. I've never had a bad meal. They have two entree choices and various salads. They have choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dinner is usually a meat meal. Breakfast and lunch are dairy meals. Right now, there are a lot of ladies here playing mahjong and Rummikub. I'm trying to find a good poker game, but I haven't found one yet. As far as activity, they keep you busy. They have concerts and meetings. It's a lively place. I think the value for money is equal to the other places. It's not cheap. It's regular, but it's not expensive. It's in the realm of payments of this type of senior living place. It's a good place for older people who can't live in their apartment anymore. They take care of your medications perfectly. Of course, the doctor gives them the medication, and they have it all on computer and everything. They have various protocols here as far as Covid is concerned. They're very careful and even though you're on your way out, you still gotta be careful."

"Dad was at The Arbors before he passed away over a year ago. It was excellent. If I had the money right now, I would move in there. My sister picked this place because it was closer to her house. It was easy for her to go back and forth. We visit dad seven days a week and we were able to take him out to dinner often. The rooms are always clean. They had a separate dining room from the sitting area and they have a separate room for TV. They have a full-size pool table, and my father liked to play pool. People would come in with their pet dogs or cats. The staff was very good. You ask them a question and you will always get a direct answer. If they didn't have an answer, they would definitely get back to you. I would recommend The Arbors to anybody if they had the money to put their parents there. "

"I always love walking into Amber court and seeing the interaction between the residents and staff. "

"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."

"I went and looked at this facility. I walked around, and it was a beautiful place, but I didn't speak to anybody. However, the ambience was good."
