The Best Memory Care Communities in Ulster County, NY

"I toured Ivy Lodge. I like the three levels of care, and I like the location. The staff was helpful and friendly. I did not see the rooms because they had a couple of cases of Covid at the time."

"Pine Ridge Family Type Home for Adults was clean. It was very small. I think the owner has six people in it. It's essentially a house and I have inquired about memory care. The owner spent a lot of time with us. She seems to be really concerned and actively engaged with everybody there. Then I spoke to two of the other residents and they seemed well cared for and happy. That was the place we were ready to send my mother to as we wanted a smaller personal place like that. There are no social activities going on and that was one of the things that I had issues with. At some point, the owner said that they were bringing people in, such as musicians, but the residents weren't even paying attention to them."

"My 93 year old mom has only been there a few days and already I can honestly say that she is getting the best care we could have hoped for from an assisted living facility. The one on one quality and quantity of care she is receiving is beyond our expectations. In addition, meals are home cooked meals, prepared with care using natural and non processed food. Some disadvantages of being in this small facility far outweigh the few advantages of being part of a big but less caring corporate large facility. Brian, Donna and their staff are qualified professionals with the skills we look for to care for our mom."

"The staff at Golden Hill worked very hard. It’s clean, and it was good. It’s a very big facility, and I would recommend it. "

"Well when I first found out that my friend would now have to be admitted to a nursing home I was very skeptical that would adjust in such a positive way. I visit my friend on a daily basis at different times of the day. On all occasions I have been very impressed with the care and kindness of the staff. I was just there today and they had a wonderful celebration for fat Tuesday with a special dessert and a great singer and the people were having such a great time. You can see the people that work there are very genuine in there feelings for the residents. This is not the first time that I have enjoyed the activities. They have many activities that the residents can take part in every day if they care to, When I ask my friend how she is doing, she says I can't complain.. she's 94 and and been my friend for over 30 years. When I leave her it makes me feel so happy that she's happy and well taken care of. Is it perfect, well when you hit that age and there's a loving smile thats the closest you can get to perfect. Keep up the good work."

"My mother will be moving into The Landing of Poughkeepsie. It was set up small intentionally to be kind of like a family. It seemed that the residents spent the day together doing lots of different activities. The staff was all hired directly and trained to work with these elderly people. They would provide a lot of physical support and have an extra level of enhanced support if you need it and you pay a little more for it. The place just seemed very loving and cozy, and nobody was sitting by themselves somewhere in a wheelchair. They had a nice backyard that they try to get everybody out into every day to do activities. The food looked really good and there was a cozy dining room where everybody ate together. I liked the activities director that I met. I saw her working and she was just lovely with the residents and very enthusiastic. They had chair exercises twice a day. There's a nurse on call and a medtech that's always there. The director of the whole organization met with us and she was really lovely."
