Assisted Living Communities in Queensbury, NY

"Home Of The Good Shepherd Wilton is excellent and well lit. The elevators are fine. Their rooms are spacious and very clean. The ample staff members are very attentive, very qualified, very courteous, and very efficient. They don't have a movie theater, but they do show movies on a big-screen TV. They have an entertainment room, a small kitchenette, and a chapel. The dining area is very bright and airy. There are large windows on one side. It's not crowded, and it's very comfortable for people in wheelchairs or walkers. We had excellent meals there. They also have a pretty, little private dining room if a family wants to have a special occasion. They have flowers on the tables and nice dishes and silverwares."

"The Woodlawn Commons had 100 apartments; 60 were independent and 40 were assisted living, all within the same building. The facility is very beautiful and well-maintained. They have a ton of activities. They also had food there that you could choose to eat. They have a hairdresser, different massages, physical therapy, exercises, and little clubs that play bridge, cards, and things like that. The staff members were very friendly and knowledgeable. The price is a little bit more than my parents could afford."

"My mom is at The Wesley Community. Everybody is very, very friendly. Communication is outstanding. The hallways are large. The rooms are large. It's very bright and cheerful. It's a wonderful experience. The food is very good. There's a variety of different sandwiches as options. There's everything from chili to fish. Right now, my mom is on the rehab floor. They have a beauty parlor where they can get their hair done. They have social activities. They have had a Christmas party and Christmas caroling. They offer music. In comparison to where she had been before, it's night and day."

"I toured Saratoga Memory Care Residence . It was just very bright. The people there had walkers, and there were wheelchairs, but a lot of people were walking around. A lot of it seemed less depressing. It just seemed brighter and more people that were more alert and doing more things than the other place I went to. The woman who gave us the tour was excellent. And then I observed other workers there, and they interacted very well, a lot of them knowing everybody's name. They have a staff member in every hallway. It's a circular type facility, you start at one place and then you walk, and then you come back to where you started. And in each hallway, there is someone there. I like the security on the doors. They have a wonderful outdoor area, where they can walk on their own. It was secure. There was what looked like a very nice hair salon place. It just was more modern. If you're offered a choice of two meals, it was set up almost to look like a restaurant, which I liked. They have other rooms for activities. So I like that it was a separate dining room and it looked like a little restaurant. In the courtyard, they have raised beds and they do their own vegetables and incorporate them into their dinners and so forth, another thing that I thought was very good."

"Holbrook's Adult Home, Inc. was a very nice place, they had a nice dining area, and Debbie, the person who was in charge, was very nice. She showed us the rooms. They do have a porch where people can sit outside, they have rocking chairs out there. They had like a solarium where you could sit in there and read books, with big windows, and sunshine. That was nice. They had a nice dining room. They did have two cats that lived there, which kind of made it homey, and it was decorated very nicely. The rooms were nice, you could bring your own furniture, and they were spacious. The place was very clean. They were sitting down to eat when we were there. So people were coming in, sitting down at the table and everybody there seemed happy. I did see some people doing puzzles in another section of the place, and they seemed happy."

"I've just had my mother in Home of the Good Shepherd about two months now. I like the atmosphere of this place. The people are very friendly. The staff there is really nice too. They're very attentive and very nice to everybody. They're very good actually. The nurses are able to take care of my mom 24/7. I haven't heard any complaints about them. They have plenty of activities all day long. They do bingo, different arts, etc. My mom doesn't do any of that stuff but she plays the piano for them. They have a grand piano in their dining area. My mom has an apartment. It doesn't have a kitchen area and it's a little small but for what she needs, it's okay. The price is good. Everything is included and that's a big factor for us. Overall, my mom is doing okay in this facility. "

"My uncle is at The Mansion at South Union. It is a nice place. It's just a little outdated. The staff seems OK. The living conditions are fairly decent. They have a very nice common area and a very nice dining room. It is very interactive and very group-oriented. Medicaid is accepted there. It's pretty clean from what I've seen. It needs some renovations, but it is livable. There are a few little odds and ends that need fixing. Like, for instance, when we went there to visit the first time before he had been admitted, he walked down and grabbed the railing, and the railing fell off. The staff has been very cooperative and very understanding. I have a vague idea of what their menu is, but that changes weekly. If you don't like that meal, they are very accommodating. They'll give you a sandwich, hamburger, hot dog, or one other option. I like the building a lot."
