Memory Care Communities in Brooklyn, NY

"This is a very fine facility. From what we saw, it is an excellent facility, although it is somewhat more expensive than other facilities in the area. There was a full range of services, including regular twice daily hydration. We were told that the most popular activity is Bingo, so they run games 6 days a week. The rooms are on the small side, and because of the placement, some of the rooms are kind of dark. Given the costs, two-room apartments are very expensive, although they do provide a more comfortable living environment. Each room is provided with a kitchenette with refrigerator and micowave. The dining facility on the first floor was very pleasant, and the staff appears to take pains to see that the residents are eating well. There is a section of the facility -- in this case the 2nd and 3rd floors -- for those with alzheimers and senile dementia. They have a separate dining facility and the environment is much more controlled. They pointed out opportunities for receiving benefits from the Veterans Administration and had a memo on the tax deductability of their charges, which was useful. They provide both emergency pull-cords in the apartments and showers, and also provide wireless emergency transmitters. This facility competes (if that's the appropriate word) with Island Shores and Esplanade, both on Staten Island. In summary, it is an excellent facility and I would feel very comfortable with a family member being there. "

"Castle Senior Living is a very, very nice place. I would recommend this to others and the person there is very, very helpful. People are very friendly and very cooperative there. The place is very clean. "

"I had a good tour of Harbour View Senior Living. Everybody was very pleasant, and my daughter liked it, too. It was very neat and there was a lot of space. The thing that impressed me was how clean and organized it was. It also smelled good there. It was very peaceful, and it felt like being around family. The staff was very pleasant and she explained everything. She was very professional and knowledgeable. The room was very nice. It looked like a hotel room. They had a lot of craft activities, bingo, and holiday activities. The patio was nice and very clean. It had flowers and plants, and I loved that."

"Sunrise of New Dorp was brand new, so it was beautiful and they got the latest of everything. If I had the means, I probably would have given them a deposit, but the fees were just too expensive for me. They were moving people in because they had just opened, but they were all very nice and very accommodating. They have doctors there and other things that can help you a little bit more with your care."

"My dad has been here a month. The staff is wonderful! Very accommodating! My dad is adjusting well and I’m so happy we found this place. I highly recommend it!"

"The rooms are clean and updated. The staff is professional and courteous. The residents enjoy all the activities especially Bingo. "

"Esplanade of Woodmere seemed to have a nice setup for the memory care unit. It was nice and clean. It seemed satisfactory. The fella who showed me through was very professional and very knowledgeable. He followed up and bent over backward to give me advice. It was a good tour. They seemed to have sufficient staff there. He said that the ratio was pretty close to 1:1. It wasn't a new building, but the structure seemed fine. The rooms were like mini apartments. There were some studios and there were one-bedrooms and they were very nice. The dining area was very neat. It was set up sort of like a cafeteria. They had like a porch that you could go out on, but they don't have any land where they have grass or that type of thing. It was in an urban area, sort of in a business area."

"Atria is very nice but beyond what I could afford. The building was lovely and the outside was as well. The area where you would eat was very nice. But the people I saw there seemed very old and not too lively. They were just sitting and didn't seem to be talking to each other which was a negative. "

"Atria Park of Great Neck was the second place we saw. It was very nice. The only thing that I think was a drawback is that they don't have an outdoor seating space, just like a little concrete area where you could sit and you overlook traffic, so it's a little noisy if you're sitting outside. Other than that, the place is lovely. I thought that the person who gave us the tour was lovely. The few people that we met that work there were lovely also, very helpful. It seemed like everything was very calm. Everyone was very caring. So I thought that was nice. The place is immaculately clean, which we've always appreciated. They just underwent a big renovation. It's magnificent. It's brand new."

"I wish I could afford Atria because this place was gorgeous! From their corridors to their restaurants, it looked like a five-star hotel. They have a mini café there where patients can go and it was the cutest little thing. There were beautiful restaurants there where everyday they change their menus. They also have beautiful rooms. Their one-bedroom small apartments have their own bathrooms, little bedrooms, little living rooms. They were very small but they looked like a room from Hilton Hotel. This place looked happy. They have a movie room and I was able to go in and saw some of the elderly patients watching a movie. They even have a community room where they have their patients visit once or twice a week and have "conversations." Like two or three times a week, they'll start a conversation, e.g., political conversation, to get their minds going. "

"My aunt is a resident at Arden Courts. Finding this place has been the best thing to happen to her in a long time. She receives first-rate care (and I enjoy visiting her and sharing some of the activities with her). The medical staff is very attentive and keeps me advised of any potential problems. Staff members are expert in helping the residents get the most out of what they can still accomplish and enjoy activities - my aunt is particularly fond of the regular live music and enjoys singing along (which is actively encouraged). It has made my life easier as well, as I know she's getting the level of care she needs. It's an outstanding facility. "
