9 Best Nursing Homes in Cato, NY

My wife suffered from early onset Alzheimer’s disease and lived at the Iroquois nursing home for 8 months in 2022. The facility provided an excellent experience for both my wife and me. I visited numerous other nursing homes with serious staff issues ranging from malcontent to inattentiveness. Many smelled of feces and urine in the hallways and the residents were left in the corridors by themselves in their pjs all day to marinate in their own excrement. The Iroquois staff, on the other hand, excel at their jobs and the facility is top-notch!! Here are a small number of my observations: (1) The facility was always nice and clean. (2) The patients were well cared for with more intensive attention to those who needed it (eg - the aids often spoon-fed the sickest) (3) The staff was cheerful & really payed attention to patients, even braiding women’s hair and putting on earrings. (3) Those in diapers were checked regularly. (4) The dinning/community area is great for the patients

My mother has been at BC for almost four months now and could not be happier. She says she feels like she’s living in a 5 star hotel. All of the staff are not only professional but kind & caring. My mother has been able to maintain her independence but with a sense that there are people around who care & will look out for her should she need some assistance. The dinning assures my siblings & myself that my mom is both getting proper nourishment & ample opportunity to socialize with her peers. Along with the activities available each week. As a member of the medical community I must say I am very impressed with how BC is run. I couldn’t feel better about both where & how my mother is living.

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.
