Castle Senior Living at Forest Hills in Corona, NY
4.4

Overall we are happy with Castle Senior Living - now there is always room for improvement with everything. The place does feel clean when you walk in, there is always someone walking around cleaning up and they have daily house keeping. They do have a wellness center that is 24hrs so overall we made a good choice. The quality of care the staff members provide for the residents is top notch - they have been wonderful and have constant communication with. The prioritize the health and safety of the residents there.

Atria Cutter Mill in Great Neck, NY
4.0

When i go visit my loved one I don't know who to really talk to about my loved one because there is no social worker. I was advised to speak with the director and she is very busy and due to this it is taking a while for her to get back to me. There are just certain things that I need to know and to check in on my loved one. I feel like my loved one has improved since being here and is busy getting settled in. The staff are very friendly and nice.

They did some really nice activities around Christmas time and New Years Eve which we were really surprised by. They recently through this Gala party where our love done dressed up in a suit so that was really nice. They also do little day trips. When it comes to the breakfast we do think there could be a little bit more of a variety. The house keeping could also be a little bit better
