The Hearth on James was very nice and the staff who accommodated me was very helpful. The dining area was beautiful, and I tried a piece of the asparagus which was good. Their rooms there were also very nice. They have games for the residents, a walking club, karaoke, and other activities in the parlor.

We found The Hearth on James to be a really great place for my parents. It's very friendly. The staff tries extremely hard to know the residents and their needs. They speak to them on a first name basis. They have done way more in our minds to try to make my folks comfortable and to try to be of help with their situation. The rooms are nice. They're not huge, but they're very adequate. They're very neat and freshly painted, and any maintenance that needed to be done was done. It was very nice and very neat to move into. Everything works and iis n great shape. My folks like the food. It's very good. For their situation, they get 3 meals a day.
Well, The Hearth on James is very open to the individual's situations, and they did a very good job of evaluating my folks and their needs and being totally upfront with us with cost and services. I would recommend them to anybody.

The Hearth on James was very nice, communal, and secure, and seemed to have a lot of social activities for the seniors. The apartment looked pretty nice. It didn't have a lot of outdoor space because it is in the city.

The Hearth on James was very nice, and it's new. It's relatively small with only 80 residents. The only reason that we did not choose it is because it is in an urban setting, and my sister was moving from a country setting. It did not have a lot of green space around it. You have to grow up in the city to be comfortable there.

The Hearth on James was very lovely as well, but it was more of assisted living. It was very clean and homey, and the staff was friendly.

I am a resident at The Hearth on James and celebrated my one year anniversary this week. Everyone is so nice and I have met many great people. I have learned a lot from those who are from the north side just like me. I appreciate all the help the staff gives me on a daily basis. They go out of their way to help me and I appreciate them all more than they'll ever know.

The Hearth on James seemed clean, and it was a pleasant atmosphere. The person who gave me the tour was very professional, very helpful, and even called and followed up with me, so I was very impressed. I visited a room with two of the residents that were there. They were neighbors and were just chatting and invited me in and showed me the rooms and were very welcoming. And they were like, "Oh we can't wait for your mom to come and meet her." The rooms were really nice, and their price was probably one of the better prices in the city.

The Hearth was nice. It was small, in a bad section of town. The people working in The Hearth were very nice, however, some of the residents were out in the front door smoking cigarettes; you can smell it in the entranceway, and that turned me off. The rooms were adequate, the activities were okay, and the dining area was fine.

My sister has recently joined The Hearth on James family. After visiting other Assisted Living Housing in the Syracuse area, I give the facility, staff, location, food and experience a "5 star" rating. Alescia, Director of Community Relations, guided our family through the process and paperwork during a stressful time. Sue, Nurse Manager, is well experienced with a nurturing attitude towards tenants...we love Nurse Sue.
It's very interesting when you transition from owning a house and the maintenance thereof, having nutritious meals and snacks provided daily, onsite physical therapy/occupational therapy, medical management, weekly housekeeping, transportation, daily activities and social programs...your life is very simple. This means, individuals can focus on themselves, their health and truly the things that make them happy in life. The heart warming staff and residents always greet our family as we arrive or in the hallways.
Anyone driving into the parking lot of Hearth on James will "feel" the happiness around as it is such a beautiful facility. My sister is thriving in her new environment making new friends and looking healthier than I have ever seen her. Thank you!

The overall place was really nice and the people were very caring. And the level of professionalism was there. In fact during the tour, a nurse aid who was on break came to us when it seemed no one was there to help us to tour the place. She said she’d be glad to help us see the rest of the facility. So, that really says something about how professional they were and how they would love to accommodate people. And we can see how they interact with their residents and co-employees. They have this home-like environment. It's a place where you have that feeling that they really love helping each other and care about each other.

The tour at The Hearth on James was excellent. They gave me lunch so I could see what the food was like. I ate with the girl that showed me around. I liked it very much because it was not as big as some of the other places. The apartments are very nice; I could live in one easily, especially if I were alone. They had a small room for exercising, a library, a garden, and outdoor seating. My brother is not doing any walking away from his property, but if he wanted to go sit outside, he could do that. I like that place a lot. I found the staff members very friendly. The girl who waited on tables was very gracious. The other thing I like about this place is that they serve lunch. The food was good and the service was good, but the food had cooled down a little bit.

My mother moved into The Hearth, and the experience has been excellent. She entered assisted living, then moved to independent. She takes advantage of all the programs, so there's a big improvement. She's in a spacious one-bedroom with a kitchenette, space for dining table and chairs, living room, and an average-sized bedroom. The bathroom is very spacious and closet space is ample. It has been very good for us.

We went to the Hearth, and it seemed clean and well-maintained. The lady there was extremely nice; she talked to the other people that we met by names. However, they didn’t have anything bigger than a one-bedroom, and the place was in an urban setting. The prices were better for what you got.
