Resident & family reviews
4.3 · 12 reviewsOn rent increase most of us here live on a fixed income, and just knowing that after the year lease is about to expire our rent will be increased, its very stressful!!! We are seniors and i think most of us deserve a b A break, not living for free, but on the rent increase. However, I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience so far
The new building manager changes the rules frequently. Instead of addressing issues appropriately they take things away from the tenants.
Staff very friendly and helpful. The building is older and Schenectady is not particularly beautiful. The residents are friendly and mom is safe.

Very peaceful, great value for the money, if you only have SS income takes only half to enable you to easily afford life care and necessities.
I like it here its clean, peaceful, staff is attentive and friendly. I love my apt, it's spacious and bright. I also enjoy the fact that some stores are within walking distance, Stewarts, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Denys is right across the street there are 2 churches within walking distance as well. Overall I have no complaints
What our family likes the most about the Schaffer Heights community is that they have a 24 hour front desk, they have security cameras and the staff members are friendly. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.
If you need services like housekeeping. You can get it within a week or so of moving in because a number of agencies already serve residents here.Totally unlike other retirement communities. More geared to very independent seniors who want a good residence that leaves you peacefully alone to do what you want, but the staff is there if you need them. So is the County. The County Agency on Aging is headquartered within the building. (And there is a good hair stylist at the comnunity.)
I would recommend the community and for you to move in. The cleanliness of the community stands out to me. The staff are very good to work with if you have questions or concerns. Bingo, monthly parties, tennis association, contests, and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from.
