Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Cortland, NY
Brookdale Ithaca MC
3.9

My loved one is currently a resident at Brookdale Ithaca and overall it's been a good experience. The staff, with one exception, are great. Though there are few certified staff. More residents means more staff and right now there are times when only one is on the floor. The food lacks flavor and is frequently not warm. There is also gristle in the beef. The activities are nearly great.

Walden Place in Cortland, NY

The staff are very friendly, personable and helpful. The apartments are a good size with plenty of room. From what our loved one has said the meal and dining service is great and even though they choose to not participate in the activities they always have a ton going on. We would recommend the Walden Place to other families.

Brookdale Ithaca AL
5.0

I would give a 5 to all of these categories. They were able to provide some furniture he didn't have. They were able to add additional care as his health worsened. They tried to provide fun events. Yes, I would recommend them to others
