Communities in White Plains, NY

"My brother is at Sunrise where he has been for the past 9 years. I like the care that he receives because he is at a level that needs intensive care. He fell and he can't bathe himself and put himself to bed. They have all kinds of activities. They have bingo, music mates and they go on trips. "

"Lohman Village at The Wartburg Adult Care Community was very nice. I like their independent living facility and they are not very pricey. The staff was all very friendly, the amenities were nice, and their common dining room was also nice. This is where both the assisted living residents and the independent living residents go to. I would recommend this facility to others. "

"My dad moved to Atria Briarcliff Manor. I like it very much because it is relatively small. So easy for him to navigate. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The energy is positive. There's no foul smell. It's very nicely run. I don't find a negative. Maybe too soon to tell, but so far everything has been very organized, very well-run, and very welcoming for him. The staff is attentive. They are responsive. They seem to genuinely care about their jobs and the residents. The facility is extremely clean. The furniture is relatively new. Everything is clean and bright, and plenty of activities going on at all hours of the day. They paired my father with an ambassador resident to help transition him in and bring him out to events. They have minimal activities like cute karaoke and things like that, but every time I go, he's engaged. He's out of his room and he's doing something. I feel welcomed. I feel that he is cared for. There's plenty of staff, which is unusual."

"My mom is at The Club at Briarcliff Manor. It's newly renovated and so everything is brand new. She has River Hudson views from her one-bedroom apartment. Her meals are included. There's a movie theater, an exercise room, an art studio, and physical therapy. It also has independent living and a memory care unit, and a rooftop terrace where you can actually see the New York City skyline. They ran a promotion for a year of house rent. The staff members are lovely actually, because when she went in she was quarantined, so I quarantined with her for five days. They have a care team on each floor, so I got to meet the nurses and aides. They have an art room, bingo, music, and entertainment. Because of the quarantine, some of the activities are on hold right now. When the quarantine is over they can go shopping and they have a bus. She was close to home, which is what she wanted. She said if she had to leave her home, this was a good place to be. At this point nothing has gone wrong. They have taken good care go her. They're very responsive to my inquiries if I call with an issue. She didn't feel good one day, so I called and they checked on her within an hour. If I have an issue, the CEO calls me back. I ate there for five days when I was quarantined with her. The food was good. We had to eat in our room. They brought our meals to us, so I really didn't get the dining room experience. The activities are on hold right now, but when she was moving around the building she had free rein to go anywhere she wanted in the building and she went to the movies, to the music. She doesn't play cards so she didn't do that, but they were available. Right now they're on hold. They're supposed to come off quarantine on December 24th, Christmas Eve, so that would be a nice Christmas present for them."

"Edgehill is probably more expensive and is more country-club oriented than the others. All the apartments are large and very nice. Edgehill has nice surroundings. It is a larger facility, a newer place, and everything is up-to-date. They have more modern facilities of everything, and it is probably the most expensive of all. "

"Sunrise of Old Tappan is just a beautiful place with very good staff. It is clean, attractive, and modern. Everything seems to be positive. The staff was great, and the facilities are very well kept and very nice. It was all excellent. The neighborhood was beautiful, and they seem to have activities. My parents have already moved in, and so far so good. It is very upbeat and very positive. "

"Brighton Gardens is very nice. It is low-scale, but very nice and very private. The apartments seemed to be nice, and the view is very nice; it is a country setting. It is nice and large. They try to provide entertainment and things for people to do. Of all the ones I have visited, their prices are a little lower. They have games and activities for seniors, and they have outside entertainment once in a while. "

"I visited Atria. The staff is very friendly and very pleasant. What I noticed is they knew every guest's name. The environment is very nice and upscale. I saw a 1-bedroom, and it was nice and spacious. It had a small terrace, which is very nice. The location is very pleasant. It's right off the Hudson River. From a financial perspective, it's rather expensive, but it's flexible enough that you can rent by the month. You can try it out for a month and see whether that's the environment you want to be in. They have a pool. They have general practitioners visiting Atria as opposed to the guests having to go out to visit their general practitioner, so I thought that was good. They had a salon/barber shop in-house. They had physical therapy in-house, and they also have a driver who takes the guests for doctor's appointments. They have a bus service that takes the guests to scheduled outings to the local malls and the movie theater. They also had an outdoor area that was covered, so in the summer, they have events outdoors. The guests looked like they were keeping themselves busy. What is nice is the kitchen is open from 7:00am to 7:00pm. Guests could have a meal whenever they choose. They have a broad menu. If the guest wants scrambled eggs for dinner and a steak for breakfast, the kitchen can accommodate that. You can go as you please, and you can eat as you like. They have 3 different areas where you can sit, and they also have a bar area where you can also sit down and have a meal. It seemed like the place where the crowds would gather late afternoon for a beer or a glass or wine. "

"Atria is a beautiful, very nice place with a beautiful dining room and friendly people. The room was beautiful and had a balcony and big bathroom. The food was delicious. "

"I toured Sunrise of Cresskill. The one thing that I didn't like about them was that when I asked them to send a nurse to my house to assess my dad, the lady who was in charge was like, 'Oh no, you have to bring your dad here.' However, it's not that easy for me to bring my dad over there. With other places, it's very routine that they send the nurse to your house and the nurse evaluates. The woman who was in charge at Sunrise of Cresskill was not very nice. The place was nice, but the businessperson wasn't welcoming. I'm not sure why she didn't want to send a nurse to my house to assess my dad. The facility looked clean, but the room was small."

"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."

"Atria Riverdale suits all of my mom's needs. With her financial situation, we could not find any other place more appropriate for her. They have trips, yoga, bingo, paintings, people that come in to entertain, ice cream Sundays, and services for Jewish people. There are three elevators, one of which is a Shabbat elevator. They do not allow aides to sit with the residents during meal time, which I find a little bit offputting because Mom needs some help when cutting up her food. They also have a bus that takes the residents to go shopping or to the bank."

"They were recommended to me by the previous facility where my mother-in-law was. I came up to the Promenade and took a tour there myself and I think it would be a good place for her. I brought my wife and she likes it also because it was smaller. The care might be what she needs. I was pretty impressed with the facility itself. The first thing I look for is cleanliness. It looked that it was really clean there. All areas are clean like the kitchen, in the hallways and even in the common area where the people were. That was my always concern. So if it's clean then it's a good sign. The staff is really friendly and very helpful during our interaction with them. I saw some residents busy doing activities when were there. I'm not sure of all the activities they have. They also have barbecue and people sit outside. I think that was nice. "
