Independent Living Communities in Peekskill, NY

"The person I visited at The Knolls really likes the place. It has a very big Olympic-sized swimming pool, and she is a swimmer, so she really loves that. She can drive her car and everything, so she is kind of on her own, and she likes that of course. She has a two-bedroom that has a really nice kitchen, and she can cook her own food if she wants. She has a washer and dryer in the bathroom, and there's one room that is set up like an office with a desk, and she can use that. I saw the dining room, but no one was eating in it. I didn't meet any staff, but my friend showed us the place herself. The facility is not brand new, but it's not really old either, so it's nice."

"We toured Thrive at Montvale. We liked the amenities, and we liked the fact that it was very new and very fresh. It was very nice. The staff was great, and we enjoyed the tour. We liked their meal plan and the size of the facility. It was not too big and not too small. We liked the fact that they could move from independent to assisted living if they needed to. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly, and they wanted to get to know my parents, which was good. The cleanliness was great. We liked the courtyard quite a bit. They had a garden room and a giant LEGO area for families to play in, and they had water features, but the units were a little bit on the small side. The atmosphere was vibrant, and we liked the setup, the layout, and the spaces."

"From the first visit to Atria Woodlands, we knew that it would be a great place for my mom. Christine made us feel welcome when she met with us. She gave us a guided tour of the facility and took the time to answer all of our questions. The Atria is clean and it has many amenities to offer such as daily activities, movies, games, lectures, and an art room. We were invited to lunch there and my mom thought that the food was delicious! Christine, the dining staff, and the other staff members that we met were all friendly and helpful. It is a safe environment with comfortably sized apartments. We are thankful that we found such a wonderful place for my mom to call home."

"We toured The Esplanade at Palisades. The people there looked very happy and were very involved in whatever activity was happening when we were taking the tour. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and stopped to give us feedback on their responsibilities as we passed. The size of the room is fine. We saw a studio that had an independent bathroom. We saw what they used as a model, so I don't know what the actual rooms look like. The administrator told us there were some areas where they were upgrading. Some things looked old, but they were in the process of upgrading. Everything looked fine, and they offered housekeeping. The dining area looked very nice. It looked like a cafeteria-style place."

"I went to Atria Rye Brook. Everyone is friendly. Although, it's in a higher price range. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facility was beautiful on the outside and the inside, and very clean."

"Glen Arden is top of the line. That's a beautiful facility. The apartments are beautiful. Everything is perfect. It's a little pricey. Obviously, that would be the top one that my relative would pick. If you're going into assisted living, that would be the place to go if you can afford it. Unfortunately, they're so expensive, and that one you have to put a downpayment on. The rooms are like apartments; that's what I like. You either have a nice patio or a little nice terrace and that's important to him. It's like being in a hotel. I like that. The staff was wonderful also. I didn't have a meal but they have a very formal dining room, which is beautiful. They have a little bistro kinda cafe, which is nice; you can grab a hamburger there. Quite a few people were in there. It seemed like a lot of people seemed to like that. The facility was very clean."

"Gladhaven Club is a small community. There are only about 12 to 15 people there. It's located in an old house so it's very homey. I feel like it's a nice community to be moving into. My tour experience was very good. The rooms vary in size, but they're all quite nice and they are very nicely furnished. If you prefer, you can bring your own furniture too. It appeared to be very well kept. The dining area is communal dining. I didn't have any food, but they said it was all home cooking. I'm hoping it's going to be good. They don't have activities like they do in some places. They have parties occasionally, but they don't have regular activities."

"My mom is a resident of Keystone Place at Wooster Heights. It is very much a welcoming home. The residents and staff are very friendly, helpful, and supportive. They have a two-bedroom, a studio, and a one-bedroom. They have a good variety of apartments. They have a great program of activities. They have bingo, karaoke, happy hour, and movie nights. They have their own theater, library, and workout room. They do non-denominational church services. They have a lot of people that come in for activities to play the piano or sing. They have activities around the holidays. They do have painting classes and a lot of puzzles. It's all in one building, so everybody can intermingle. My mom is very independent. Although she has Alzheimer's, she goes down to dinner regularly. She gets three meals a day, which is good. She has a small kitchen, mini-fridge, microwave oven, countertops, and cabinets. It's definitely worth the money. It is a little bit expensive, especially now that they've moved mom into assisted living. But I would say we feel very good that my mom's there and secure. The nursing staff is awesome also."

"My 93 year old mom has only been there a few days and already I can honestly say that she is getting the best care we could have hoped for from an assisted living facility. The one on one quality and quantity of care she is receiving is beyond our expectations. In addition, meals are home cooked meals, prepared with care using natural and non processed food. Some disadvantages of being in this small facility far outweigh the few advantages of being part of a big but less caring corporate large facility. Brian, Donna and their staff are qualified professionals with the skills we look for to care for our mom."

"Amazing place for my mother! They are taking great care of her! Kerry is Conscientious & caring. Everyone is kind and hardworking."

"My parents are residents of Waterstone at High Ridge. It is extremely well-maintained and extremely clean. There are good activities. The staff is very caring. It has a great sense of a social community, which a lot of them don't. So, there are always people out in the facility, visible, and they talk. It's a social place. It's independent, so the staff is doing tasks, but they're not assisting them with any activities of daily living other than providing food. The staff is all fantastic. They're friendly, courteous, and wonderful. Their food is good. It's gone up and down over the years. Sometimes it's good and sometimes okay, but compared to other places I've seen, it's very good. They have music multiple times a week. Once a month, they have an art show and a little art gallery. They have multiple social events in the pub. They have multiple daily activities every week, every day. My mother complains that it's too much of a game plan, but they do have a variety of activities. Vinnie, the activities director, is amazing. He is the sweetest, nicest, most wonderful person. He is just a darling, and he's very dedicated. They give us good value."

"My husband is at Edgehill. They have lovely grounds. The people are fabulous, very nice, and kind. It is a very nice place. The staff members are wonderful. The food is excellent. I like everything about it. The management and nurses are lovely. My husband had a stroke, and they have him up and walking. I think he's doing well there. The rehab facility has single rooms, and they are very clean."

"I recently stayed at Atria Stamford while recovering from hip replacement. My room was clean and beautiful. The staff were warm, welcoming and very experienced in helping people recovering after surgery. The other residents were interesting and so encouraging! Making new friends while recovering was a bonus I was not expecting! This is my second joint replacement so I was aware of the challenges of recovering at home especially living alone. Atria Stamford was a terrific place to recover and if I ever need care in the future I wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you Atria Stamford Team!"
