6 Best Nursing Homes in Sand Ridge, 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 loved one is a resident at Brookdale East Side. I would recommend this facility to others. The food is just okay. The housekeeping is good. I love the staff, they are very on top of things.

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.
