Somers Place

Somers Place was nice and small. The director there was actually the director of my son's day care when he was a new born, so I felt comfortable with the staff. They had shopping and other trips for the residents. I liked it because it would not be a far walk to my uncle's room because it was a small place. The room that we saw was a studio; it was very spacious, and the bathroom was just as big as the room. The staff seemed to know all the residents.

Everyone is so helpful and caring at Somers Place, Attention to detail and the resident's needs are never overlooked. My father has been there for most of this year so far and he is really happy living there. We couldn't have chosen a better place for him. It's a super clean facility as well.

Somers Place was neat, tidy, quiet, small, and overall good. The staff was knowledgeable, kind, and not pushy. The dining area was fine. They had movie nights and games.

I was impressed with Somers Place. The facility was clean and nice. I enjoyed the proximity of it from my actual home. However, it didn’t have a dementia unit or a lockdown unit for my mother, so although I was very satisfied with Somers Place, it was not a place for my mother. It was a very large triangle with a spacious, circular courtyard with a locking front door and foyer area. This community was pet friendly. It was a lovely place. It seemed as if the staff was caring, courteous, and genuinely cared for the residents. I saw several of the rooms, and they were spacious. Some were very large and apartment-oriented with multiple rooms, and some were just basic, efficiency suites. There seemed to be some options for couples or individuals and individuals with pets.

The level of personal care and attention to my father, an Alzheimers patient, has been both consistent and remarkable. It is comforting to know he is in good hands.

Facility provides continued oversight of your loved one. They are continually care for and looked after. I visit the site 2x-3x per week to see my mother and she looks great is well dressed and well groomed. Meals and snacks are fantastic. All staff including director, asst. director are hands on. They are around the facility providing assistance and care. they are many staff hands on deck to assist residents at all times.

Somers Place was very nice, and we liked it a lot. I have friends I am trying to put in there. It’s a nice place, I had known people there, and it’s very nicely organized. It was very clean, but it’s a little bit too much money for him. The staff was friendly, it was acceptable, it was very well done, and the food was good.

I have been a volunteer here for 4 years now. I am a disabled man, but I am "able" to do many things. I have had wonderful experiences with both the residents, as well as our fine, capable, thorough staff! As is always the case in life there are pluses & minuses. Yet, I have noticed that we always try our very best to find the "silver-lining" in life's challenges!

Moving my father from his home to assisted living was emotionally overwhelming, and five siblings had to agree on the decision. Thanks to the staff and many meetings, we confidently made the best choice for our father's care. The staff is now our extended family.

The level of personal care and attention to my father -- an Alzheimer's patient -- has been both consistent and remarkable. It is comforting to know he is in good hands.

Wonderful experience with my mom at Somers Place, anything she needs at any time. Everyone is friendly and helpful. After a fall she was able to have all the help she needed, so I didn’t have to worry about anything. Family atmosphere and a beautiful place, highly recommended.

Somers Place was a little smaller in terms of the number of rooms. It seemed to be a little more intimate. Also, it is within 5 miles of my sister's home, so I have family close by. The staff had no problems giving me as much time as I wanted to look around. They took me on the tour. I met several of the residents. It just seemed to be a very homey environment. At that time, they were dyeing Easter eggs because a couple of days later, they were inviting their grandchildren over for an Easter egg hunt, so that was cool. Also, they were having a little sing-a-long because they had somebody playing the piano; they were singing tunes from the 1940s. The home is a made into a great big square with an open courtyard in between -- it was beautiful. Also, since there are no outside doors except for the front entry, the dementia people knew that they could get to the inside square. I also could tell that they really keep the place together maintenance wise. The hallways were 6 feet wide and they had railings on both sides of the hallway. I think that's important. Outside their rooms, each resident put something out that was personal to them. Most of them put out an end table and they had pictures of themselves or pictures of their grandkids. So there was personality and it wasn't just a wreath hanging and a name sticker on the resident's door. It was more of a home.
