The Best Memory Care Communities in Bronx County, NY

"I visited Sutton Gardens twice, once by myself and once with my mom. The tour experience was very good. The administrator, I think her name is Jessica, was very helpful. She gave a thorough tour and gave information regarding what it would cost to house my dad if we would choose the community. The facility was very nice and very well maintained. They had enough staff. It wasn't overcrowded with residents. It was a small community, which was very encouraging because then I know that they won't be overwhelmed, and they can tend to the patients in their care. The dining area was well set up. They had small round tables, which were intimate and had four or five residents per table. And the staff was very helpful. I didn't try the food, but it looked good. The residents were eating during the tour. They do arts and crafts with the residents, which is good. They also have bingo. They have a TV room and an outdoor space, which was very good. It wasn't a large community, but it was good enough for a senior citizen or someone dealing with Alzheimer's. Like my dad, he's unsteady on his feet, but I don't worry about him being a fall risk there because the staff seemed very helpful when it came to the patients and their care."

"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."

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

"We moved my father to this community in November. We never thought we would be able to convince him to leave his home and truthfully it was a process. He has surprised me and my sisters and I by settling in quickly and accepting help from the care team. He has even gained a couple of pounds from their homemade meals. We visit often but know he is happy and well cared for when we cannot be there. We are very grateful. Thank you!"

"The first thing that I didn't like at Castle Senior Living at Forest Hills that was a turn-off is that as soon as you walked in you saw many people with walkers and wheelchairs. I understand that it is assisted living for seniors, but not everybody wants that in their face as soon as they walk in. I saw the apartments at their independent living and assisted living, and I liked them. The only thing that I didn't like was when I walked in and I knew right away that my aunt wouldn't like that. The staff member who gave the tour was very helpful, especially when I'm new to this assisted living home. One thing that I remember is that when we got on the floors they were cleaning, so you got that cleaning smell, which is like an institutional smell."

"Coterie Hudson Yards is very nice, but it's very expensive. I went on a tour of their assisted living and the rooms are beautiful, the staff is very friendly, and the food is wonderful. It's almost like a restaurant-type atmosphere where you can order drinks with all types of food and entertainment. You have the piano player going while you're eating. The people are polite and professional. I also had a meal with them. They have a wonderful menu and a chef right on the premises. Their rooms are not shared, but they also accommodate couples. They take the residents on tours down to Manhattan and go to different places and different restaurants. It's a wonderful place."

"I toured Harbour View Senior Living. The rooms are big enough, and everything is comfortable. Also, I got the opportunity because everything is included, including the meals, medical attention in case some emergency shows up, and nursing service in case I need it. A parking lot is also included. I can park my car anywhere because there are a lot of areas to park my car, so it's very convenient for me. There is a social room where people can meet and make a program. The price is not very cheap, but it's correct because everything is included. The people were very kind and nice."

"I visited Sunrise of Crestwood and toured for assisted living. The buildings are lovely, and the room I was shown was very nice. I thought it was a good amount of space. The staff who gave the tour was wonderful. She was very friendly and very informative. I saw that they have a salon, but I think it is under renovation at the moment. I also saw the dining area, and it was very nice."

"Atria Park of Great Neck is the best in terms of cleanliness, level of care, and professionalism. They're top-notch. My father's been there for two weeks now and I visited him many times. The only problem he complains about is the lack of Chinese-speaking staff over there. They have someone who is Chinese, but there's only one and she's also the nurse supervisor. So, I don't want her to be bogged down by this question because she has her duty already. Beyond that, his room is OK. The environment is nice. This place is good. As far as the staff, I don't have much to complain about. They are pretty good. I haven't seen the meals up close because they don't allow family in the dining room but the setting is very good. They escort my father to the dining room for three meals. So, he has enough exposure, including the trip to the dining room, activities, and all that. The facility itself, compared to the other places I visited, is very clean. There's no smell in the air. They're relatively new, in fact, compared to other places. I was there the other day and I've seen their activity that involves the whole residency. They try and the participation from the residents is good (if they can participate). People who do not have the mental or physical capacity, are present, but they don't necessarily have people to help them really to fully enjoy the environment. It's pretty expensive. If there is something that can be improved, that would be the cost side, but I don't think that's something wrong. There's a slight delay in their response to someone who presses the request button, but it's minor. If they could allow my father to have an electric wheelchair, it would probably help him some, because he is not fully mobile on one side so a regular wheelchair is not all that useful, but they don't allow it. He has to be moved around by a person. They respond to requests like "Can I get a better bed for him to get out?" and they ordered a hospital bed for him. So that helped. I asked whether they could get a better seat cushion because he is not able to sit in a regular wheelchair for a long time and they respond to that sort of thing. They're minor things. I don't think it's a big deal."

"I visited the Atria Kew Gardens. I toured for independent living and was pleasantly surprised. It was a very nice environment, and I liked the location. It's only 15 minutes from where most of my family lives. It was also just two blocks off of Metropolitan Avenue, so there was some shopping and stuff quite close. I don't know how much of that you're going to need because they offer three meals a day and snacks, too. What I liked overall was just the atmosphere. The woman I dealt with was lovely. The place has a beautiful patio and an outside sitting area, which is very nice. I think she said there were three nurses and a doctor on staff because there is a section of people with dementia that is separate. They also have activities. They didn't have a gym, per se, but they did offer exercise classes, Yoga, Tai Chi, Zumba, and static boxing, which was very nice. They play bingo, of course. Every old person likes bingo. They have a library and a parlor. All of the common areas were very well kept and seemed very well used, too. The independent living apartment was on the smaller side, but it's great. The building is spotless."

"I toured Brookdale Emerson. I liked that it was very thorough. The patients were very satisfied, and the food was great. Dimitri was super helpful and answered every question I had. I only liked a couple of activities, and I was presented with about 50."

"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."
