Home Sweet Home on the Hudson

Jackie

I visited a place called Home Sweet Home on the Hudson and toured the assisted living. It's on a cliff above the Hudson River so you can see it from there. I toured the entire place and they have a very nice dining room with enough space for everybody. They have enough caretakers, too. They also had a place where people could go and do arts and crafts. The terrain was very nice. It was very quiet and seemingly rural, but if you had a way to get into town, you could do it. Each person has their room. The room I saw had a TV, a small refrigerator, a bed, and a window. Right next to it was an entrance to a bathroom but I can't remember if it's a half or a full bath. There was also another room on the other side of the bathroom. I don't know if all the rooms were like that but that was fantastic and I was very impressed. I wouldn't say the room was spacious but it was fine. The place was very nice, the people spoke well, and it was clean. The people I saw were decently dressed, and the food was fairly good. If I could snap my fingers and transfer my friend there, she would be a happy camper.

My mom did well at Home Sweet Home on the Hudson. They allowed outside help to come in. It was a nice place, and they were willing to work with us regarding her care. They did bathing and dressing up, but they didn't have help for eating, so we had to get outside assistance. They did whatever they could to help Mom. All residents had private rooms with a bathroom. They had activities every day and nice meals. They had a very beautiful view from the lobby, so everybody enjoyed being there.
