"We are leaning towards Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie for my dad. The person managing the place, we could see how caring and kind she was to the residents. Even though she was having a very demanding morning when we went there, she took the time out and showed us around and we could see her interaction with the residents. She was very compassionate. It felt like a home environment and a little less institutional. It was a beautiful facility with a lot of windows and natural light. They had a beautiful chapel. The rooms were nicely set up with private bathrooms. They had a big gathering place as you walk in where the residents were having fun playing and bouncing around a ball with music. There are just a lot of little areas where people could sit and watch TV or take a rest on a sofa. It just seemed to have a lot of space where each resident could find a place where they could be comfortable. They also had a very nice courtyard."

"I'm in here ight now. My room is large, bright, and sunny, feels like home. They're very friendly, each one knows your name almost immediately. I don't have any level. I'm pretty independent. The food is excellent. We have a chef that prepares meals. They're starting to get activities back. We've played bingo three times a week, which I find fun. It gets me out of my room and it keeps my mind active."

"Peregrine Senior Living at Clifton Park was excellent. I love that location, and the person who gave us the tour, Patti, was extremely engaging and informative. The tour was a lot longer than any of us even realized, it was very nice. The rooms were beautiful. They've just almost completed a full remodel and everything looked amazing. They have beautiful gardens and lots of beautiful flowers. They're very well maintained, and they're groomed plants and beautiful flowers. It was just great. We saw some of the residents enjoying some television in the main area. They all seemed to be enjoying each other along with the bird sanctuary that they have there. It was very, very impressive. The dining area was very updated. They had very interesting menus. A lot of the staff also purchase the food there to eat as well. I was interested in trying some."

"I went to visit Promenade at University Place. I wasn't too thrilled with that one, that was my least favorite place and it looks just like a hotel. It seems like a very friendly atmosphere, everybody knew each other. They were trying to start to do a lot for the clients, as far as redesigning different areas of the building and trying to make it look more spiffy. What I didn't like is the rooms, they remind me too much of a hotel. I think it was kinda pricey for what they're offering. The staff who gave the tour was very helpful and provided me with all the information we needed. She did her job well and kept up with me as well, she contacted me later to see if I was still interested in anything. She was good, she did her job. They were getting a little beauty salon coming on, and there was something they were trying to do outside."

"I toured Memory Care at Eddy Hawthorne Ridge. It was lovely, it was. Our tour director, Angela, was informative. She gave us a lot of information so that we didn't need to ask too many questions at the second location. The rooms were very nice. The upkeep looked great; everything looked great. They had a variety of activities that they offer. They have a schedule posted for each month and they share that in both locations with the families, which I thought was nice. There was a bingo game just about to start when we were there. We also went outside on their walking path, which was lovely. The dining area was very nice, too."

"Eddy Daybreak Adult Day Care had a good director who I really liked. It was a very nice place and they also had a nursing home facility with individual bungalow-type buildings. There were at least 10 residents in each bungalow. He went there if he had no doctor's appointments. The facility was fully equipped and they had some activities. They also served breakfast and lunch. However, it was a little far because it took one hour to get there and another one hour to fetch him. "

The dining area was very nice. The outdoor spaces were very nicely kept, and looked like a nice place to sit and enjoy the natural environment."

"I'm in the assisted living center called Home of the Good Shepherd. I chose it because of the location and the fact that I could bring my dog. They are very kind here. We get great care. I have a small apartment with no kitchen. I came because I was really sick. Right now, we're on lockdown because of the virus, so we can't go out to lunch or leave the place without getting a week of quarantine. The room is adequate. I got a big bedroom and a small living room. The staff is really kind. The experience is pretty good. They're really great. The place is comfortable. This is non-profit, but it's not shabby. The activities are more for people who are less able than I am right now. I don't want to play bingo and I don't want to do group crossword puzzles or listen to somebody giving talks about the life of some movie stars. I'm just kinda bored doing all of those things. However, I have friends and we watch good movies."

"My mother moved into Danforth Adult Care Center. Our experience has been pretty good overall, although it was hard for her to adjust when moving from independent to assisted living. My mother would say that the place is noisy at times when she's in the main room with other people. But at other times it's very quiet and my mom can do what she wants in her room like listen to TV. The food is pretty good there, and the service is also good. When I requested to take my mother home to visit they had her medications ready for us. They're sensitive to the fact that she needs us still, and they're allowing her to go pretty much wherever she wants with family members. The staff is also attentive to her needs and I'd give them a good rating overall."

"Home of the Good Shepherd was an advanced assisted living. I even tasted their food, checked out their dining area, the presentation, everything, and they're pretty much run in the same price as other facilities. The facility itself was exceptionally clean. The grounds were really nice. The staff seemed to work well together. I also saw their clients and just by watching their faces, they seemed to enjoy the staff as well. The management stands out the most. I paid attention to the fact that they knew every client by name when we passed them in the hall. Some of the other facilities couldn't help me because they just couldn't deal with the oxygen that my mom needed. But here, they talked to me about the physician, the transportation and the oxygen use for my mom. "
