About the facility
Brookdale East Niskayuna

Located just north of Albany, New York, Brookdale East Niskayuna allows seniors to find enriching memory care services and a safe place to call home. Brookdale emphasizes the importance of round-the-clock security and person-centered care through exclusive programming and homelike features. Here, residents have access to two memory care programs — Clare Bridge and Solace. The Clare Bridge program is an exclusive brand of dementia care which was established more than 30 years ago. It provides residents with six planned activities each day to promote the use of their current skills, both mentally and physically. The Solace program, on the other hand, offers additional support to residents in the late stages of dementia. It provides assistance with grooming, and incorporates engaging activities using music and aromatherapy. Regardless of residents’ unique care needs, the staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency. Plus, the community features secured entrances and exits, an emergency alert system, and enclosed outdoor spaces. To provide comfort and convenience, residents have access to a relaxing screened lanai, a pharmacy, and a beauty/barber shop. A special dining program is also available here. With easy-to-manage selections, pre-selected seating, and dining...

Brookdale East Niskayuna Review
My dad passed away [date removed] at Samaritan Hospital. Although Brookdale East was very nice, my dad's needs were greater than they could manage. When assessing Brookdale, though they told us they provided a higher level of care (enhanced) than other assisted living facilities (such as the the Eddy Hawthorne, where my dad had been, but was a safety risk after multiple falls). Once at Brookdale my dad ended up falling 3 times while there (once because he escaped and made it 1/2 mile down Rt.7) - he was there maybe a total of 3-4 weeks. On his third fall at Brookdale, while at Samaritan, Brookdale still wanted him back, although at that point it was clear my dad needed a skilled nursing facility/memory care facility. So, as much as Brookdale East was clean, the food good, the staff lovely, they seemed hungry for a private pay resident - overlooking the fact that their services were inadequate for my dad's quickly declining state.

Brookdale East Niskayuna
It was a clean facility but I had an awful experience there, I'd rate it a zero if I could. The staff were very unprofessional and misleading to the point of being illegal... it was truly the worst couple of months of my life...it was a real eye opener. We have the worst Healthcare system in the world.

I would highly recommend a place here for u mom dad to be happy a lot for them to do not just sitting in room all day. Great staff and any medical problems the staff is right on top of it. And very clean never have I ever seen any messes whatsoever.

Very good
The center is beautiful, decorated for each holiday. The main entrance looks like a small village with an area to sit and eat with your loved one. The inner center is locked with a button to enter and exit. It’s clean and welcoming common space, has many areas inside and out to enjoy your visit. The staff are so friendly and happy. They have made our transition very pleasant. We visit often and always feel welcome. My father in law is always clean and happy. His private room is clean and comfortable. We all feel like we found a wonderful home for our dad.

needs improvement
Our experience with Brookdale East was a mixed experience. When it comes to the activities they only thing they had going on that my husband ever saw, was the residents being parked in the living room in front of the TV watching whatever crime shoe was on at loud volume. Our loved one has not been back since last April. Had to move her to a nursing home She ended up getting COVID19 AND falling and breaking her hip at the same time. The fracture was only identified because she had an appointment with her PCP who took one look at how much help she needed with walking and sent her for an x-ray.

So Great, You'll Want To Live Here Yourself
I am very happy with the experience that my loved one and family have had here. I like this community so much I would want to live here myself. The staff communication with the family is very good. They are responsive to our questions, and they will reach out to us if there are changes with my loved one. The community will send a monthly report out as well to family. There is a menu for the residents to order from, and there are three meals a day plus snacks available.

Our tour experience
Our family had an in person tour and the tour was fine, the community was fairly comparable but we just did not get the best vibe from the people giving the tour. They kept talking about their own families experiences and issues and we just did not really care for that. Also we saw a lot of residents just sitting down and not being active.
