The Landing of Poughkeepsie

We love The Landing of Poughkeepsie. It's like a mid-luxury hotel. You get a very good feeling when you walk in. Everybody is happy and the people who work there could not be nicer. Everybody went out of their way. They introduced themselves and made us feel welcome and assured me that my mother was going to be in good hands. She's doing pretty well. She has a studio with a kitchenette, but they also have two-room suites and one-bedroom apartments. They have a happy hour, and the residents who are allowed to drink can have wine. They play games, they have arts, yoga, stretching classes, a little movie theater, a cafe, and a dining room. It's a nice place and it's big enough that you feel like you're getting some exercise walking around, but it's not so big that you dread it. The food is good. The facility is perfect, and it doesn't smell. Compared to other places we saw, this is the best value for the money.

I visited both the memory care and assisted living at The Landing of Poughkeepsie. The menu looked very good and the people were very nice. The facility was gorgeous, brand new, well set up,but it's very expensive and they don't take Medicaid. The staff was very nice and answered all our questions. They had more of a formal dining room, so it felt a lot nicer. They had a movie theater and activities throughout the day. They had a good program for the memory care, too. It felt homey.

My mom moved into the assisted living area at The Landing of Poughkeepsie last September, and my dad was in the memory care unit. It's a beautiful facility. They're short-staffed since the staff has dwindled over the past six months. It's getting a little bit better again for assisted living people, but the memory care unit is very understaffed right now. My mom's room is very nice, like a small studio apartment with a mini kitchen, eating area, a nice area for a bed and a TV, and a large bathroom to go along with that. The food was pretty good, but my mom complains every once in a while about it. They've got a considerable amount of activities like arts and crafts, yoga, exercise, and musicians who play in the common area. They also have wine tasting in the afternoons.

The Landing Of Poughkeepsie was absolutely perfect, but I couldn't afford it. The rooms were adequate. They thought of every little thing. I couldn't conceive of one thing they hadn't covered in that establishment. I wish I could afford to live there, but I can't. They have culinary trained chef. The dining room is open 12 hours a day for any meal at any time. To me, it was the most wonderful place. Everyone that I talked to was excellent. The lady at the reception desk and the fellow who gave us the tour were very knowledgeable and very caring. The staff I saw as we walked through was excellent as well. I didn't eat there but they gave us a going away package of galettes that would melt in your mouth and were wonderful. This place was like heaven to me. It's top notch. They showed a calendar of their activities which had four to six every single day throughout the month.
