The Best Memory Care Communities in Queens County, NY

"I toured Atria Lynbrook for my brother. It's my first time visiting an assisted living place environment and as far as I can see, it looked encouraging. I think the time frame is too short to do an evaluation, but for the first time impression, it looked nice, and the place is clean. The front desk was a bit busy, though. When I was there, I had an appointment, and so they get me to the person who was already waiting for me. She was very receptive, and she gave me a booklet and we toured one of the rooms. It was a studio, the largest, and I didn't want to see anything smaller than that. It was quite decent and pretty good. When I called on the line to make inquiries when I was going there, the person who answered the phone seemed to be very busy. So just cut me short because she had to move on to the next person. As a matter of fact, on the first call, the phone hung up, she hung it up or it was an accident. But on the first call, I didn't get through. I called to say I was running a few minutes late. The staff who toured me gave me a Christmas cake and she said I could put it in the oven and warm it up for 20 minutes. I took some pictures of some of the rooms and some of the areas, and to some degree, it reminds me of a larger nursing facility. But one good thing I gather from it is that assisted living is quite different from the nursing home in that I didn't see anybody in rooms like a nursing home, but instead, I saw people playing a game. I saw people doing other things and so that was one good thing that I saw where it seems to be active there. I would give the person at the front desk a three and a half, but the person who interviewed me, gets a five."

"The staff at Sunrise Mill Basin was helpful and attentive. They weren't any problems with the staff. The rooms are nice and decent in size. The only thing was there wasn't any lock on the individual doors. There was a lock on the main door going in, but not on the individual door. The food was very good, they had exercises, and then at 10:30 they have certain type of board games, like bingo, or card games. Sometimes they had activities at night whether it's movie, TV setup, or entertainment where they would bring in people that play piano or sing. Once they brought in a guy who did a song and dance and even danced with the seniors. They also took them to drugstores, church, and shopping once a week. I think the food was very good. We found the people accommodating. "

"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."

"The rooms were average, and they were nice. The dining room was nice. It wasn't exactly fine dining, but it was close to it. Waterford is nice because it is by the water, and it has nice scenery; you can see the ocean and ships at bay. It was a pretty nice community. "

"I toured Coterie Hudson Yards, but it's super expensive. What I liked the best about this place was that they had Michelin-star chefs cooking their meals, they had pretty much an entire floor that's dedicated to emergency medical care, and they can do 95% of what an emergency room can do. They had the best doctors in New York City that money can buy. However, the thing that I liked least was the money, because only billionaires could afford it. The staff that they had was the pick of the litter in New York City. I've tried the food prepared by their Michelin-starred chefs. It's not only delicious, but their menu has to be approved by Mayo Clinic just to make sure they're not only delicious but very healthy for their residents. Even though they didn't have a pool, they had a shuttle that goes to a pool all the time. They had a gym, a courtyard, and a salon. They had pastries that the pastry chefs made that you can get at any time of the day."

"This facility was absolutely perfect for my grandmother. We couldn't really find a decent place to put her because the either costs were too high or she just didn't like the place. She's very particular about these things and where she stays. But anyway, this is a wonderful environment, the rooms are wonderful, and it's very affordable. My only gripe is some of the staff members can be rude to the visitors. I don't understand why. Sure, I understand if you're having a bad day, but you should at least try to remain professional since you're at work. I believe if some of them work on this, I would rate this 5 stars. So all in all, I would definitely recommend this place for your elderly. Just be wary of the grumpy staff members. "

"My mother-in-law moved into Amber Court of Westbury, but she was only there for a little bit. She's now hospitalized and is pretty sick. Generally, we were pleased with her care there. In the place she was previously, she needed more care than they could give, and Amber Court was able to give her that extra attention that she needed, because she needs memory care in the first place. She was in a shared room with another person because they didn't have any other availabilities. It was very simple and it was a fine room. They don't allow you to go up to the room when you visit her, they bring her down to a room. You meet with your loved one in a room downstairs on the first floor and you're not allowed to go up to her room. I just saw it briefly. It's nothing fancy there, but we were more concerned about getting her care and attention than the decor of the room. From what I saw, the staff was very attentive and caring. I don't know specific activities, but I know that in the memory care facility, they keep the residents busy all day. They play games and they do things all day, which was what my mother-in-law needed. She was paid attention to and that was what was important to us."

"I went to The Veranda Assisted Living. When they showed me the rooms and how they renovated certain things, it looked good. At first, I saw people like they were under the influence of alcohol. According to the state law, they cannot stop them from going out of the building, but if they are drinking in the building, then they're going to get penalized. When I was going in, I saw some people drinking, but they were standing outside. When I spoke to the manager, she said they could go out and they could drink, but they cannot use it in the building. The building was clean. They're doing a lot of renovations. They showed me the place where they're eating. It was nice and neat. They said they are doing renovation, floor by floor, coming down, so the whole building is going to be renovated eventually, and it looks good. The manager was helpful. The dining area was nice and clean. They said they have activities for them. They have special therapy, too."

"My father is in La Paula at Main. They're wonderful there. We're very happy. We chose it mainly from recommendations from a friend. We have friends whose moms were there. It's a small facility. There are only 15 rooms. They're very attentive, really thorough, wonderful, and very communicative. They let us know everything that we need to know. It's very easy to get a hold of them. They did everything they could to customize and make it perfect for him. He has his private room. There's a little community room. It's fairly easy to go see him, but we have to make an appointment because of COVID. They're very particular about their policies. There are a couple of people that I've dealt with. Lynn, the director, is wonderful. She's very easy to speak to and get a hold of. She gets things taken care of. There's Chuck who does the tours and also, makes the appointments for visitors. A couple of the aides that work directly with dad are wonderful. They care, they speak to him wonderfully, and they made sure that he was getting food that he likes because they were having trouble getting him to eat when he first arrived. He's just doing so much better since he's been there. It's all memory care."
