Nice people

My mom moved into Brookdale Niskayuna 4 months ago. Without a doubt, Brookdale Niskayuna is now her FAVORITE PLACE on the planet! We both love the staff, her nurses, the friends she's made, the resident activities she gets to be involved in, and everything supports her still-active lifestyle. The food is absolutely outstanding, and family is always invited to join when visiting.

My mom moved into Brookdale Niskayuna 4 months ago. Without a doubt, Brookdale Niskayuna is now her FAVORITE PLACE on the planet! We both love the staff, her nurses, the friends she's made, the resident activities she gets to be involved in, and everything supports her still-active lifestyle. The food is absolutely outstanding, and family is always invited to join when visiting. The facility is beautiful, immaculate and has a great vibe; you can tell people are HAPPY there as soon as you walk in. My mom was just diagnosed with dementia and wasn't able to live on her own, and living at Brookdale has brought her back to life again, truly. She has her meals made for her, her meds delivered to her, and has her own beautiful, safe apartment that she loves! I'm beyond grateful to the amazing staff for everything they do to love and support my mom...and treat her like family. The elderly people here are treated like superstars! Another huge plus for me/my mom: Brookdale has a nearby "sister" memory care residence when the time comes that my mom needs that. They've assured me it's an easy transfer. I can't say enough good things about Brookdale Niskayuna, and I trust them wholeheartedly with my mom's care and wellbeing.

Admin is super friendly but not all depts are good at following up on specific things, even if we discussed it multiple times. The head of wellness was friendly and supportive, but not good about follow-up after promising to do something or check on something, even when the request was straightforward. Dining staff were great.

The thing that becomes very obvious after living there for a short time is corporate greed. It is very expensive, care is sub-par, and the turn-over for aids and waitstaff is constant. There is a cold, smile- to -your- face attitude, but no real interest in you besides money. Do not send your loved one there.( Niskayuna location )

Zero. This place is a disaster and dangerous. I had to file a complaint with the Department of Health who investigated

Amount of Therapy equipment, whether showers are step in, activity calendar. Good variety of room sizes available.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything is very clean I'm very happy so far. It's small. Close to my home. The cleanliness and the friendliness of everyone staff and residents they had a one bedroom apartment available.

It' been quite positive! My mother-in-law has made friends and is more socially engaged than she has been in several years. She plays BINGO, is involved with arts and crafts and joins in the card games. The residents and staff treat her like a Queen!!! She initially had some concerns with a couple of staff but that is no longer an issue. All in all it has been a great transition for her and we are very pleased with Brookdale!
