We chose Astoria Gardens because of the activities that they provided. We visited a lot of places and people were sitting in their rooms. When we visited this facility, people were in common rooms, eating meals together, doing crafts so there was much more activity. They have been great with communication, they call and text. Sometimes it is hard to get a hold of them at the front desk, but I do have the directors cell so that has been helpful. For the residents, the ease of getting around here is nice. It is a giant circle so memory care residents cannot get lost. They also have a lot of different areas outside and rooms they can go to. I would recommend. They are allowing weekly visits right now so that has been nice as well.

Based on covid our experience has been very limited

As far as I know it is a good place if you need those services. Our experience was prior to COVID, and we were able to see our loved one.

They were absolutely great here at Astoria at Oakdale. The staff members here went above and beyond for their residents. We had looked at another facility and they referred us to this one due to covid and it worked out perfectly. It is a nice a small community and they have 3 nurses to 1 resident, so ratios are great. I would highly recommend to others who are looking.

We were quite happy with the community, and the cleanliness of the place was excellent. The meals we were able to eat there were pretty good, and the activities were appropriate there was always something going on. While our loved one was passing, the staff members were there with us and they were very sympathetic and understanding. They were more than capable dealing with the multiple personalities of all the residents, they were so gentle and kind.

New community with a beautiful view (at the top of a hill). They addressed my concerns about brush fires and evacuation protocol very well. I think residents are very safe in this facility. Seem to have an excellent care system, activities and dining menu. The few residents I saw seem very happy.

From our understanding they have had no positive cases of COVID. When we were able visit and eat their with our loved the meals and dining services was very good. We would absolutely recommend this community to others.

We chose Kingstson Bay because we liked the location as well as what it looked like. During the tour we thought it was very clean and they worked with us on the price. He was in a private room with a shared bathroom and it was very spacious. We ate here a few times before COVID and the food was really, really good. They were fresh meals and plated very nicely. I would absolutely recommend.

The size of the rooms this community offered really stood out to us as well as the people there. It felt like home. We were able to eat some meals with our loved one before COVID and we thought they had a good menu, and the residents has different options to choose from.

We chose the Kensington Senior Living at Cumberland because my dad is from this area and he had always said he wanted to go to a facility close by. After looking at some close to where I live, this was a far better situation. The room sizes here were very nice. The food here was also very good, they were good, home cooked meals. He absolutely loved it. My favorite part about the community was that they were all very friendly, it was like a big family. They got great care and attention. I would recommend to anybody.

The community is always clean and well kept. They are making sure to keep all the residents safe from the Covid-19 pandemic and have done a good job protecting everyone. Given the situation with the pandemic and community lock down, they do have activities available for the residents to participate in that are at a safe distance.

Really enjoyed speaking with [name removed]. The residence sounds very nice, and [name removed] is very caring.

Nice place. Super accommodating. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Met a few residents who were inviting us to come join them. (First time tour)

Very nice new facility, ideally close to our home. Being new hard to judge longevity of staff. Visited memory care and saw staff involved with group of residence. Many nice amenities for the more self sufficient. Move in fee seemed high, and price for small space was on upper level compared to others visited so far. Because of location may still be considered .

[Name removed], Senior Living Consultant, provided me much-needed guidance and counsel toward my parents situation of my dad being diagnosed with Alzheimers. I really appreciate the honesty as well as two books she gave me on caring for those with the disease. It was wonderful to see the remodel of the facility. It's in a great location with access to paved City pathways. The grounds have a lot of trees and other greenery with space for the residents to enjoy the surroundings.

My dad lives in the memory care community. I can not imagine going through the last 9 months without the caring ,compassionate and most of all educated people that provide care to my dad. He is in need of total care and he is always clean, and well taken care of. The team has met every challenge both medically and behaviorally that he has given them. Family is included in any and all decisions and we feel apart of that team. If he wants Cheetos in the middle of the night he gets Cheetos! They see him first and his disease second. Sure, its a nice clean facility, food is good, lots of activities but Brighton Gardens is sooo much more that. The support and caring they have shown not just my dad but the whole family is priceless. We could not have gotten better care for him.

Great place! I live in the area so I've seen this facility almost daily. Never thought I's be helping a family member find a place but you can't say never. My aunt fell in her home and her health took a down hill spiral. I needed a place for her right away. The people that helped me were polite, educated and truly cared. I highly recommend Kingston Bay.

One of the most hospitable communities I have toured while looking for a home for my Dad after Mom passed away. The amenities are gorgeous but I really loved the people I met at Kingston Bay! My Dad will be moving in.

I have never thought that I would want to be in an assisted living facility but Astoria has changed my mind. The staff is very caring and never too busy to stop and chat or give a hug. The food is wonderful and the outings are always fun. Today, we went to Chicken Ranch in Jamestown for a a lovely ride and lunch. There is always something going on at Astoria. Bingo, Happy Hour, musical entertainment and much more. It's a nice place to be . . . safe, comfortable and you couldn't ask for nicer people running it. I am very glad that I am here.

This is a smaller community so there is personal one on one care. Mom say there is humor in the house with lots of laughter. The staff is incredibly caring, kind and patient. Very warm atmosphere. It is clean and they do her bedding daily and her laundry when she needs. There is a lot of daily activities for mom to enjoy. They have as great care plan here they will set down with the family monthly to talk about any changes. When it is warmer there is a nice courtyard area that she could have a garden. I would recommend this community.
