What this means for your family

While this facility may offer a more budget-friendly option in Brooklyn, the physical infrastructure presents significant risks for residents with mobility aids. Families should prioritize inspecting the elevator reliability and inquiring about the credentials of the on-site medical staff before committing.

Key Review Excerpts

“This place is in bad shape. The structure is over 100 years old. The elevator is always breaking down. This makes it difficult for "All" Senior Citizens with walkers and canes. The main coordinator is never here. Matience man is not licenced and is slow and only comes in.”

Former resident/family member · 2018★☆☆☆☆
