Drum Hill Senior Living Community

Warm and friendly atmosphere. Residents and staff all very nice.

My name is Brian Daley. I have been a resident at Drum Hill Senior Living Community now 9 months, 3 months shy of a year. I do not sugar-coat my reviews, doing so would be an injustice to those considering bringing their "loved-ones" here. Be assured I am not going to mislead anyone.I am brutally honest. Lynn Lomax Our Executive Director is very caring and dedicated, her number one priority is residents feeling comfortable, welcome and safe. It is not unusual for Lynn to be working on weekends, or even being called in late at night. Drum Hill is Blessed and Fortunate for Lynn's dedication. Russell is incredible. Always Obliging, cheerful, flexible and Obliging. Russell brings a smile to everyone first thing in the morning. His enthusiasm is contagious. His Wonderful Wife Barbara is a huge help here as well, and has been someone I have trusted time and again as someon to confide in. And always had and shared the right solution/suggestion Our Housekeeping Staff are exceptional and professional, service with a smile.Thank you for all you do Tabitha, Marjorie and Nancy.

On Nov. 14th it will be two years that I am living at Drum Hill Senior Living. The choice to move was not mine but I had to move near my daughter in Yorktown Heights and leave my home of ten plus years. I must admit that it was very difficult in the beginning; I didn’t know anybody and all I did was play bingo once a week. There were different activities like exercise classes and chair yoga, but I’m not one that likes to exercise. I began to meet more people and participated in smaller group activities such as doing puzzles and sitting outside watching the Hudson view. Now, I’m busy every day playing games, listening to Nicole, the new activities director. She has interactive sessions with us on various topics about different artists, the Sistine Chapel, trivia games and getting us together to share our past experiences. To encourage resident participation, we get prizes when playing different games. We recently started playing chair volleyball and everybody is enjoying it. We have many laughs throughout the day. I’m also a member of the Spanish Club, we have a meeting every month and we celebrate different holidays, and we eat Spanish food, drink wine, and have a good time. We are lucky we have Frank the hairdresser here at Drum Hill twice a week. We don’t have to go out to have our hair done and there is also Sabiha the manicurist, she’s here once a week. They both keep us looking good which is a great advantage to have. We are often asked for our opinion on things we like and would like to do. A month ago, I was away from Drum Hill for a week, and I missed being here. I’m having a good time and I enjoy talking to all the residents and I’m grateful to my daughter for bringing me here. Thank you to Drum Hill for making my stay here a happy one and looking forward to many more years here.

Drum Hill Senior Living Community is our first choice, and we will be going there, but we have a lot of things to figure out beforehand. We found that everybody (residents and staff) was incredibly friendly. We liked the setup. It felt more like a home as opposed to a facility. It gave a very homey impression. There are lots of little nooks and crannies where you can read a book or sit and crochet. When we did the tour, it was lunchtime, so I walked up to a table full of women and I said, 'Tell me the truth, how's the food?' And they said it was fabulous. We got more of a home-type feeling than the other places we had seen. The apartment was very lovely. It had a little kitchenette with a four-burner stove, a refrigerator, and a sink. There was some counter space and cabinets, and then there was the living room, which was small but perfectly adequate. The bedroom seemed to be a decent size. The bathroom was a decent size, too. Everything just seemed right. My husband feels it's a very friendly place. It's very open and very welcoming. He likes the fact that they were actual rooms.

Great private residence for the elderly
