The Best Memory Care Communities in Ulster County, NY

"Ivy Lodge seems caring. The place seems nice. The people seem nice, too. It didn't seem overcrowded. There were two different rooms that they told us about, and they seemed very nice. It was like being independent, but they had a roommate. They had their own little bedroom, and then when they walked out, there was a kitchen. It's not a kitchen where you could cook things because they don't want anybody starting fires, but they have a fridge and things like that in there. It was also very clean. I remember it being clean because as the staff was touring me around, there was a woman mopping the floor, and it smelled clean as she was mopping. Everyone was friendly and nice."

"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. "

"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."
