Andrus on Hudson

I was a resident for about a year. If I ever need a nursing home again Andrus would be my first choice. No one really wants to be in one! The care was good, most of the aides were great, pt/ot was excellent. Food was pretty good, but lacking in fresh salads and fresh fruit. I loved having a private room and bath. I would recommend it.

We visited my Mom today and I was appalled by the dirty carpet in her room and overall lack of cleanliness. I can't believe that you are even allowed to have such dirty carpeting. The floor in the bathroom was not clean at all. Having been a patient in a CT facility, I do have something to compare it to. I intend to look into when this facility was last inspected by the state.

My mother is in Andrus. Everyone is very nice there and very helpful. They seem to go out of their way to answer questions and be helpful. Its dated to me, but to my mother its great. Since she's pretty dated herself. I know a lot of people get depressed going there, but t hat would be at any facility. Seeing people who are ill and unable to take care of themselves is depressing. But that has nothing to do with the facility. I like that my mother has her own room, which wasn't available in other facilities we looked at. All and all I think my mother is in a good safe place.

I went on Andrus on Hudson for a rehab. It turned out to be a nice place, and I'm very glad I chose it. Being sick and all, it was hard to appreciate being there, but it was a nice experience. The PT and OT people were very nice. The aides were extremely nice too. I had no problems there whatsoever. I was there for two weeks, and they helped me a lot, so I'm able to walk and be not in a wheelchair. My room had a beautiful view of the Hudson River. It was a single room. It was a nice size with a nice regular bed and closet space. I could bring in my cookies and candies. The meals were pretty good. I was able to have three square meals a day, which, when I'm home, I wouldn't have. I enjoyed their meals. Overall, I think it was a very nice place. It is very nice when you first go in. They have a big lobby there. The staff was very good with people in wheelchairs. They took me to wherever I chose to go. They played stuff like Hangman, they went over all the news, and they even had a Mass there. On each floor, they had a pet dog, "Bailey," that came by a couple of times.
