North Brook Heights Home for Adults in Auburn, NY
5.0

I was reluctant to move to assisted living. I have always lived on my own. My family and doctor we're very persistent that I needed the extra help. I have to say, as much as I hate to admit it, they were right. The staff here have been so sweet and helpful. It's like have 5 grandchildren around at any given time. I have a bad knee that I have always struggled through. With all the help I have to strain so much less and my knee feels better than it has in years. Don't be stubborn like I was, accept the help and you'll see a big change in your life.

Complete guide to independent living

Auburn, New York

While policies differ between locations, many residences allow pets as well. If medical or nursing support is desired, residents may always utilize the services of independent health care professionalls. There are an assortment of benefits and expenditures to balance while choosing an independent living community.
