The Best Senior Living Communities in Queensbury, NY

"The tour of the Home of the Good Shepherd was very good. We did a walk-through. We spoke to Sandra, the administrator, and I'd recommend that place. It was very, very clean. There seemed to be enough people around to help. The place was beautiful, and that was a really good place. The room looked spacious, and you could get either a private or shared room. They were nice rooms, and you could bring your own furniture. They had a beauty parlor there and they had the usual activities for assisted living. They have a chapel, and they have a nice dining area. It's upstairs and downstairs and both areas have a place where you could go outside. They have rocking chairs there, and you could sit. It's just like a terrace upstairs, and then downstairs it's like the porch. Very nice. It was laid out very nicely and very easy to maneuver. I have not tried a meal during the walk-through, but I did see people eating at that point. The food looked very good, very appealing. And they had little stations where you could get water, they had cucumber water and another type of water. It was nice."

"Fort Hudson Adult Day Health Care was alright. They did have a good lockdown unit if you had someone with dementia bad or something. The place was clean, and the rooms were nice, they weren't fancy like assisted living. It was more like a nursing home. They had quite a bit of amenities and they had different levels of care, which I liked. They had rehab there, too. So it was good. I saw a couple of residents walking around. It had a really pretty lobby and they had a nice library, and they had a nice dining area."

" My little dog,Pete and I have been going up to the Countryside Adult Home now for a couple of month's.I knew no-one there on the first trip,but thought the Resident's would enjoy seeing Pete,since he is small and very friendly.I was right,they ALL loved him and now they love me too!We try to go up about 3 time's a week as time allow's.It is a very nice place for these people,and most call it "Their Home".The staff are all very careing and do a great job.It is unfortunate that a possible shutdown or relocating of these people may become a reality,as these folk's who live there are a great bunch of people and have had enough shuffling around in their lives already.

"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."

"We toured the Summit at Saratoga. It was just excellent, like all the amenities, the services, and the cleanliness of the place. They had a lot of community activities, like bingo and movie nights. They had the hairdressing salon right there. They had physical therapy, a beautiful dining room, a piano bar, entertainment on Friday nights, a beautiful pool, and a nice tavern where people would join together, play cards, and drink."

"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."

"Mom is at Embury Apartments at The Wesley Community, and it's been a wonderful experience. The apartments themselves are very well thought out, in really good shape, and they keep them up. They have all kinds of staff downstairs, from a nurse, to social workers, to the people that run the facilities, to custodians that fix and keep everything up for them. There's a café to get prepared food, and if they can't make it out to the market, they can get a loaf of bread and some milk there. So, there's food and support. Food's pretty good, too. I've eaten it. It's a beautiful campus. It's very large with lots of space around outside to walk on. It's an exceptionally good building. The apartment towers aren't very pretty on the outside, but the inside is really great. They have all kinds of activities going on. They have a big library downstairs in the lobby, a bus service to stores, bingo, chair yoga, and sometimes they do movies (although with COVID, some of those have been scaled back). Sometimes during Christmas time, when there's no COVID, they'd have choirs come in and things. My mom is Catholic and there's a group that says the rosary together. They have everything. They take housing HUD that gives the people who can't afford it subsidies, so my mom pays well."

"Prestwick Chase is excellent. The staff who gave us the tour was very well-informed and was an excellent representative. We had lunch there which was competitive with major restaurants in the area. They have PT, massage, dance, history class, a library, and table games like poker and blackjack. It's a very impressive facility."

"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."

"Saratoga care is a nursing home inside the Saratoga Hospital. They've done a lot of renovations in the last couple of years. My mom has been in there twice and my dad's been in there many times. When my mom was dying, they sent in candy stripers. They brought a cart to the room filled with tea, coffee, water, and cookies. I'm going to be sending letters to the Director of the hospital to let them know that I couldn't have asked for any better caring people in the world. "

"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."

"I have been living at Westview since 2008 - first tenant in this apartment which was really nice. As a native of Saratoga Springs, it was important to find senior housing in this area which allows me to walk to various places in the City. This was perfect. For independent seniors this is great - an ample parking, both several stairwells and an elevator for times when carrying bundles or those with difficulty climbing stairs. You have your choice of having a washer/dryer in the apartment or using the laundry room; refuse room for garbage removal; dishwasher in each apartment. Though there has been a turnover in managers and staff personnel, any questions, problems (few and far between) have always been handled promptly and efficiently. Smoke detectors in every apartment and furnaces are checked annually by maintenance. I love the wing I am in - neighbors are friendly and caring. "
