The Best Nursing Home Communities in Saratoga County, NY

"My MIL has received horrendous "care" at the Ellis Nursing home, severe bedsore requiring specialized wound care, tray left without attempts to feed her, not given medications as ordered by Hospice and the social worker and director of nursing ignore concerns of relatives who visit. I would tell anyone NEVER to place a loved one in this facility. "

"All of the staff were responsive, informative and professional. "

Welcome to The Capital Living Centre! We offer traditional long-term, skilled nursing care for people who can no longer care for themselves at home, and choose to make us their new home. Additionally, we have a separate memory care unit for residents who require memory care services. We also offer short-term rehabilitative services 7 day per week for people who can not immediately return to their homes after a hospital stay. Our rehabilitation unit is located separate from our traditional long-term care units. Our dedicated rehabilitation team, including physical, occupational and speech therapists successfully discharge many of our residents back into the community to resume independent living. The future is here! Our beautiful, brand new state of the art 240 bed skilled nursing facility is located on the existing campus of The Avenue Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre and The Dutch Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Centre. Following the tradition of our previous two facilities, we are continuing to provide the same award winning level of care that our community deserves. Although there was a lot of history in our previous buildings, it is time to forge ahead and grow with the new technologies that are available. We are providing unique services in our new facility and welcome you to visit us for a tour and to learn more about the services we offer.

"My mom is staying at Eddy Village Green at Cohoes. The people were kind. The model was superior because they made it feel like a family kind of experience. They help with toileting and showering. The facility is excellent and very clean. The staff members care about the residents. My mom's room is spacious and has its own bathroom inside. The food is adequate. They can't make it too spicy, too salty, or too sweet. She has Medicaid."

"The weekend and night staff seem to have attitude about how they treat family and residents. The room is a typical nursing home room not at all as indicated on the web site. Physical therapy is only on weekdays. Again not 7 days a week as claimed. I have been rudely treated 3 times with no direct answers to questions. The administration staff act bothered by the fact that you don't agree to everything they want without more information. There was no communication between day & night staff regarding care. My relative is improving slowly, but got no help with therapy for first four days. "

"My husbands grandfather went to this facility. They took good care of him but the food was not the best. He didn't eat that well there. The staff were mostly friendly. I noticed one of them was not very helpful. And a little rude.My husbands grandfather went there because he fell off two steps and hurt part of his body. He needed to go there so he could walk again. He was too injured to walk without a wheel chair. He could not stay at home. Because he needed someone always there to help him. So that is why he had to go here. The staff at The Dutch Manor made sure he was able to walk on his own before he was released back home. He started to like it so much he almost refused to leave. He liked people always being there for him. And I think he was afraid of falling again. But the staff there gave him confidence he could walk and care for himself parts of the day at his home. He does have someone at his home that visits and feeds him. "

"I saw Capstone for my dad. Everybody was very nice and showed me around. The people were eating lunch at that time, and they were taking care of them. The meals were good; the person I visited ate everything, and he's usually very fussy. The nursing staff was very caring, and the rooms and bathroom were nice and clean."

"Kingsway Arms Nursing Center is a very good place to go. My aunt started in assisted living, and then she went to the nursing home, and both of them were excellent. They're very friendly, professional, and caring. It's clean, and it's a very nice community for the elderly. She didn't complain about the food. They had a nice patio for the clients to go to. They had things for them to do, and she was happy joining in. It's worth the money."

"My mom is a resident of Shaker Place Rehabilitation & Nursing Center. It's very clean. The staff is very dedicated. Everyone tries to help you, the social workers, everybody. The doctors are excellent. Everybody's understaffed, but they do the most. My mom has a very dedicated aide who takes care of her. I was not expecting it to be as nice as it is."

"I went to Albany County Nursing Home because I looked for a place for my husband. It looked pretty clean even if it was very old. The room they showed was kind of dim and my husband needed daylight because one of his eye was blind. I also could not afford the price. "

"My wife has been at Eddy Memorial Geriatric Center since August. The care has been OK. I have no problems with their staff. When my wife needs some help, they help her out. I think a nurse should be assigned to her because she has fallen down three times already. My wife is in a semi-private room. I pass by an area where there are recliners. The food should be better for what we are paying. The food quality is average, sometimes even below average."

"My dad was at Eddy Heritage House. It was very nice and very well run. The place was very clean. The staff members were very friendly, very helpful, and very professional. The food was good."

"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."

"I visited one person at the Wilkinson Residential Health Care Facility. It seemed like there were plenty of nurses available at that time. She was well taken care of. It was very clean. I didn't talk to anybody so much. I just went to see my friend, but the staff members seemed very friendly and helpful."
