Resident & family reviews
4.0 · 83 reviewsI don’t understand the positive reviews! Other than the care staff (not management) being lovely, there is absolutely nothing going on for the residents. They even keep the 2 wings separated 95% of the time, the courtyard is locked and no one has the key on the weekends. They are so understaffed that it can take up to 15-20 minutes to find someone if help is needed. Rarely a reception to let you in or out. Any concerns with management falls on deaf ears- even the care staff complained about management. I won’t even go into the laundry system! Everything disappeared! Mom always blamed. Mom now…

I don’t understand the positive reviews! Other than the care staff (not management) being lovely, there is absolutely nothing going on for the residents. They even keep the 2 wings separated 95% of the time, the courtyard is locked and no one has the key on the weekends. They are so understaffed that it can take up to 15-20 minutes to find someone if help is needed. Rarely a reception to let you in or out. Any concerns with management falls on deaf ears- even the care staff complained about management. I won’t even go into the laundry system! Everything disappeared! Mom always blamed. Mom now at Perergine in Colonie and it’s fantastic. Both wings open at all times with numerous lounge and dining areas. Everywhere you look there is a staff member. There are activities throughout the day. Her clothes are not missing or damaged. And mom is never blamed for anything. And mom is much happier. An after thought…. Because I’m still so disturbed by the management staff’s concern for the residents: when mom moved out (was asked to leave actually- we believe it was because we complained too much about the care given) the director Elizabeth didn’t even bother to come out of her office to say good-bye or wish mom well. She was right there in her office watching us move mom out. Truly disturbing.
Brookdale East Niskayuna caters to dementia and Alzheimer's patients only. It is small which allows for a quieter atmosphere.
The staff are all amazing, we had some billing issues in the beginning but they corrected them once I pointed it out. The facility is very clean as well.

A staff that cares about the residents. Also, I'm kept in the loop on all issues. The only negative has been their inability to keep her hearing aid charged and available for her use. It's been missing for weeks now and will probably never be found. She's practically deaf without it. It's unfortunate. It directly impacts her quality of life.
I have visited a memory care facility called Brookdale East Niskayuna, and it's immaculate. The staff is very caring, and they have a good assortment of activities. It was the facility that we chose for my stepmother. From what I observed, it was great. She's only been there for a month, though, so I can't go into more detail than that.
Initially some medication administration concerns, Inconsistent care patterns, missing hearing aides,glasses and shoes requiring multiple conversation with team members to address this. Concern with skin issues due to pressure. Not present on admission now has sacral pressure injury. We do appreciate the attentiveness if the staff ,but concerned about need to repeatedly address issues.
I toured Brookdale East Niskayuna. They're just very kind, hospitable, and knowledgeable. They were good. The structure of the building was excellent, lovely, new, and clean, just so nicely laid out. Everything about it was very inviting. The room they showed me was spacious and clean and had a nice window. It's appealing.
Being a mental health professional and familiar with facilities that provide dementia care, it was challenge to find a place after COVID that was actually functioning safely, especially around staffing issues. Brookdale East has somehow found a way to maintain appropriate standards of care that are put into practice and not just advertising sound bites. It’s a lovely joyful experience going there to visit and feeling comfortable when I leave my mother, knowing she is safe and happily engaged in her world there. Thank you to the Brookdale East Team, you are deeply appreciated.
