Hearthstone Assisted Living
QUESTION: I occasionally read alt.support.alzheimers and noticed through your post
that you were looking for senior housing in the NYC area. I agree that it
is hard to find appropriate housing. As a professional, I have left
facilities that I didn't think were providing adequate care. I do know of a
couple of good places, though, so I thought I'd suggest them to you:
1. Hebrew Home for the Aged - they have locations in the Bronx, Manhattan,
and Westchester and they are quite known for their dementia care.

2. Sunrise Assisted Living - I worked at the location in Mill Basin,
Brooklyn. There are also locations in Sheepshead Bay, and then in Long
Island and Westchester. Sunrise is really a great company. The staff there
is highly trained in Alzheimer's care. They have a special Alzheimer's wing
and it's a really great "homelike" environment, which I'm a strong proponent
of.

3. Hearthstone Alzheimer's Care - this is located in The Esplanade Senior
Living building at, I think, 74th and West Side Highway. They also have
nearby locations in the Palisades and in White Plains. Again, they are very
skilled at providing the care that someone with Dementia requires.

ANSWER: I might add that people might do anything that they could to avoid the
Pelham nursing home in the bronx. It is absolutely a hell hole, and it is
where my mother in laws poor sister died. An awful place. The only
reason I didn't make a legal suit against them was that she was gone and
there was no way to bring her back.
My mother in law is in a great nursing home upstate where we live, and she
is treated very well.
