This facility responds to some reviews.
Questions for Your Tour
- 1Given the facility's convenient proximity to major hospitals, what is your standard protocol for coordinating urgent medical care or emergency transport for residents?
- 2I noticed that communication is a top priority for families; could you walk me through the best ways to stay in touch with the care team and how you typically update families on their loved one's daily well-being?
- 3Since the layout is entirely on a single floor, how does this design help facilitate resident movement and social interaction throughout the day?
- 4Could you share some examples of the daily activities or social programs that are most popular among the 92 residents currently living here?
- 5I see that you accept Medicaid; could you explain how that process works and if there are any specific steps we should take to ensure a smooth transition for my family member?
- 6I noticed you have engaged with feedback online; how does the leadership team use family input to improve the quality of care and staff responsiveness?

Key Review Excerpts
“I call my mother useally every other day maybe every two days I'm left on hold for about 20-40 minutes tops before I get an answer on top of that when I call about questions I can never get a straight answer or no one wants to call me back on anything.”
“demoralizing 'warehouse', overwhelming, NOT AT ALL THERAPEUTIC, often unsafe ... underqualified, reactive, inattentive administrator whose primary goal is staff fun, often at cost to ignored residents.”
“This facility is conveniently located near Route 9, Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital, Vassar Hospital, and local community services. The level grounds and single floor interior makes it easy for residents to get around.”
