My mother will be moving into Garito Manor. It's a 102 people unit, and she has a studio. Everything's nice, clean, and very quiet from what I see. Because of the virus, there's nothing really going on. Everything's on hold, but that's how it is now. She'll be safe in there. Security is very good. I've got no complaints about it so far. The staff is nice. The woman who interviewed me and showed me around was very nice. Mom gets two meals a day, she gets cleaning services once a week, and there's laundry on the lower level that she could do on her own. One of the reasons why I chose it is because it's eight minutes away from me, so I could go see her all the time. I like the location and the price. Everything's good so far. The staff couldn't take me around as much because of the virus. You can't be around people. It was very quiet and I hardly saw anybody because everybody's in their apartments. They're very strict in there, which is understandable, and I respect that. You got to have your mask constantly and stay the distance. Everybody's got to be safe.

We visited Garito Manor. The place is fine, but we didn't like the location. It was clean and homey, and nothing was wrong with it. The people we met there are all nice. They have amenities like a gym, which is what we were looking for.

Garito Manor was more geared towards independent living. The area seemed nice. They had facilities for seniors to exercise, and walk around, as well as art areas and gardening, which occupies their time. They also provide classes which always kept them entertained. The food was very good. The staff is very hospitable and very good. I'd recommend the place.

You need to be aware that services are extremely expensive and not worth the money. The food is precooked elsewhere and heated on site. Not good quality .
Provider Response
The fee that is charged for 2 meals a day, weekly housekeeping and Transportation is very affordable and not extremely expensive. Our residents who live in a one bedroom pay $2020.00 a month which includes rent, utilities and the 3 services above. I can guarantee that our prices are below those of most senior communities that provide these services. Garito Manor provides 2 well balanced meals daily. We have brought in a highly respected Westchester catering firm that prepares the food offsite and delivers the food to us. Every day our seniors have a choice of a starter, entrée, dessert and drinks. Our catering firm uses fresh ingredients and excellent quality meats and fishes. The food is low sodium because of the population we serve. We continue to work with all of our seniors on making their dining experience enjoyable.

The staff at Garito Manor was professional. The rooms were small but nice. They didn’t offer transportation, but they had in-house activities. I checked the dining area, and it seemed fine, but I was not able to try the food.
Provider Response
Thank you for your review, but I would like to clear up a few items that were mentioned in your review. Garito Manor offers seniors lunch and dinner daily in our dining room, weekly housekeeping and transportation to and from doctor's appointments and scheduled trips within a 10 mile radius of our location. So we do offer transportation which is part of our "Package of Services". We are more than happy to offer lunch during a tour, but prior arrangements have to me made. Our tours are Monday - Friday 9am to 4:30pm with lunch being from 11:00am to 12:30p. We always want to accommodate anyone who is coming for a tour so they can get a feel for the community.

Garitio Manor was really nice. It was too large and there were too many residents. I was concerned that my ex-husband would get lost in there. The staff was very nice. They took us on a tour. But it felt like being in a hotel.
