Memory Care Communities in Staten Island, NY

"My father-in-law will be moving into Atria Cranford. The staff is excellent, but physically, it's showing some aging. Even without senior leadership there, the staff is very friendly, very outgoing, and always smiling, which meant a lot to us. The room was clean, odorless, and in good shape. Overall, the building is updated. It's just that I see wallpaper peeling a little bit here and there. It's hard to maintain a building like that."

"My mother-in-law stayed in Sunrise at Mill Basin. It was very done very well. It was clean. They did a great job taking care of her. They have various activities for the residents there. They have special events around the holidays. They've had a special veterans holiday. The dining area is always well maintained, it's clean."

"The apartments were much too small in Coterie Hudson Yards. I'm a very large person, so they are completely out. I'm not ready for anything like that yet. So, my number one dealmaker was the size of the apartments. I could not be comfortable in their one-bedroom. The staff was friendly. The tour guide was excellent. The food was mediocre, though. I asked for a medium rare hamburger. It did not come; it came more well done. I asked for a toasted bun, but the bun was not toasted."

"Sunrise of Westfield is literally right down the street from me. I always admire how beautiful it is. The people in it are unbelievable. They're great and very good to my mother. They treat her really well, and we're very happy with this place. Every time I go there, they're doing things with her. It is very nice. Everybody there is wonderful. "

"When the doctors at Bayshore Hospital determined that my 91 year old mother needed special care that only an assisted living facility can provide, like any son who had cared for and lived with his mother during her time of need, I was a little apprehensive. My mother has been a resident of the Millennium Memory Care in Aberdeen (recommended to me by Bayshore Hospital) for close to a year now and I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am with the attention of care my mother receives from their dedicated staff. Not only does she receive medical care, medication management and regularly scheduled checkups, they also provide a hair dresser and hold holiday parties. Now with the Covid-19 pandemic, the staff has suspended visitation and put other measures in place to safeguard the health of their residents. I would recommend this Care facility to anyone. "

"I admit I was at first a little uncomfortable that to exit the area where the Alzheimer's residents live, one needs a code to unlock the door. I know this is for their own safety, because with memory issues they need to be supervised. Once inside the living area, things are actually quite homey and nice, without any sort of "locked in" feeling. Within the supervised area of the building, the residents are free to move around as they wish. What I really liked is that residents can go outdoors if they'd like! In the protected area is a door to an enclosed courtyard area where they can sit or walk outside and still remain safe. Residents have lots of activities, and are encouraged to stay active. I was pleasantly surprised to find many of the residents reading books and newspapers."

"I went to look at Brookdale West Orange. The facility from where I live is fine, and the rooms I saw were nice. I just met two people, and they were excellent. They offered a whole lot of amenities, so I have no complaints. I liked the amenities. The outside part was fine, and I don't see any problems with it. They have furniture available, and they have a little kitchenette there. While I was there, the residents were watching television, and there was an old lady who I spoke to and seemed to be very nice. We chose this place because of the price that was offered, and it was sort of close to where I live. They have laundry rooms."

"The staff knew everybody there, and they were very friendly and very welcoming. It was very clean. The rooms had more than some of the other places I visited, like there was a microwave and a refrigerator as opposed to some of these places where you have to bring your own. My mother is there now, and they have enough activities for her where they do things, she could go back and rest in her room, and then come down later for a new activity."

"Spring Hills has exceptional activities staff. Speaking as a family member of a resident in the memory care section, known as Spring Cottage, I can say that the activities staff are incredible. They provide physical activity such as chair yoga and group exercise, as well as involve the Spring Cottage residents in events, BBQs, and other activities held in the community. They are really incredible at keeping them engaged! Well done."

"Castle Senior is very good. They are all Hebrew, and they serve Jewish meals. Wonderful meals from what I see. The room situation that I looked at was with a roommate. There is going to be two in a room. It is very clean and quite nice. The grounds are nice, and you can sit outside. You can't bring guests to up to your room because you have a roommate. They can bring them downstairs where they can buy refreshments. They have a lot of activities planned. They have physical time in the morning for about a half hour. They have a weight room and a computer room. It's very beautiful facility with beautiful dining rooms. I have some more medical problems to take care of, otherwise I would be there now. "

"I took a tour, they were nice and courteous there. It was a little bit smaller than the other place I visited, but we like it. The staff cared, and they had the amenities that we needed or that we were looking for. It's accessible to all of my mom's doctor's appointments so that's nice. The staff we met there were informative, patient, nice, and sweet. Their dining area seems community-based and open. The surroundings felt warm, you go in and it doesn't feel like a nursing home. Everybody was friendly there, it didn't feel like the people there were forgotten about, and there was a lot of care. They have transportation to doctors' appointments, which is great. They also had activities that they coordinate for the residents. I remember seeing a few people playing cards in like a sitting room. They have stuff that they plan and then daily stuff that they can do, which is nice."

"This home was absolutely beautiful and felt like an extension of my home. It isn't grand or overly big but I personally find that to be better, especially for my purpose in visiting the home."
