My loved one is currently a resident at Senior Suites of Washington Heights and the overall experience has been mostly good. However, the hallway carpet on my loved one's floor is filthy. It has not been shampooed. I've spoken to management but there has been no resolution. The staff and the friendliness has been great. The care services have been good.... Read more

It's a decent place to live if you're looking for affordable senior living. The price is reasonable. Cleanliness could be much better. The carpet is terrible and needs to be cleaned. We've asked repeatedly for that, and the manager says her hands are tied as far as prioritizing that. But communication from the staff has been good, and they're friendly.

January 21, 2023We always want to hear from you—what we are doing well and how we can improve. Thanks for taking the time to leave us this review.
This facility is great. The staff is very friendly. I'm not local, but they are great about communication with me about mom. My siblings are local and like the facility also. It's is very clean and has a great atmosphere. They offer several activities and keep the residents active. They also have a community room on each floor, which is great. They are great about doing check ins on the residents at least once a day and are consistent with that. I would recommend this facility!

January 24, 2019Thank you for sharing your personal experience visiting our community; we appreciate your feedback!
This community is doing well my mom. They are very attentive to all the residents. They let them be as independent as possible. They keep them engaged with lots of daily activities. It is very clean. When a resident passes away they are very compassionate and supportive. The grounds are kept up they had a picnic that my mom attended and she enjoyed that. I would recommend this to my friends and family. Please let me know if you need any more info.

I toured this community when looking for a place for my mother. I wasn't here for very long because I didn't feel the environment was a good fit for my mother.The staff was okay but we ended up choosing another community in the area.
