Here it is 6:16 and he still hasn't eaten. The care here is below standard. Every time I visit the nurses are outside smoking. There is no security as well. I don't know what kind of haphazard facility is run here, but my father is not receiving the care we told he would.

When my mother was 90, I moved her from Chicago to Fellowship Village Senior Living. Prior to the…read moremove, Mom was becoming less social, losing weight, and not attending to her appearance as much as in the past. Within a very short time, she blossomed in her new Independent Living apartment. She looked forward to meeting friends for dinner, which inspired her to dress up more. She put on weight and lost that frail look. I would credit her new outlook on life to the socialization with the residents, the friendly and doting staff, and an astute geriatrician who changed her thyroid medication. Mom lived in Independent Living for over 12 years. When she seemed to need more help to remember to take her medications, keep her apartment at an appropriate temperature, and arrive at the correct time for appointments, a lovely, senior woman on the staff called me to say it was time we thought of moving Mom to Assisted Living. She is now in Memory Care, and has been for almost four years. Yes! My mom will be 106 on her next birthday in two months! What I always tell people is that many places have wonderful, up-to-date facilities. It is the staff, however, who creates the homey atmosphere. I have no doubt my mother's primary Care Partner loves her. She washes and styles her hair, gives her manicures, chooses a pretty outfit, and completes the job with makeup and jewelry. My mom can't really do anything for herself now, so she (and I) rely so much on the goodness and conscientiousness of the staff. A nurse is on duty 24-7 and is an integral part of every resident's day and night. The Care Partners assist one another if a resident needs extra help. There is a Neighborhood Coordinator who keeps all the pieces of the puzzle together. In addition, the kitchen staff makes a variety of meals from which the residents can choose. The staff knows the preferences of each resident inside and out: What they like to eat, whom they like to sit with, which chair they like best, who seems a bit down on a given day, etc. The Life Enrichment staff brings activity in the way of live music, art, current event discussions, as well as conversing about past moments in history. On holidays, everyone seems to pitch in to decorate and serve special meals and treats. Memory Care has its own Christmas tree, which is decorated by the residents and staff at the annual Christmas party. The families are invited, and I can vouch for the party being fun, lively, and joyful. Once a week, for those residents who choose and are able, there is a bus ride through the area that lasts about and hour, or so. A year ago, my beloved husband joined my mother in Memory Care. Their rooms are right next door to one another. I live in NYC now, and the round trip drive is not ideal. Still, I could see my husband nowhere else but Fellowship Village to receive the same loving care as my mother has enjoyed for years. A family atmosphere prevails among the residents, their families, and the staff. We are encouraged to call at any time with questions, concerns, observations, etc. With having my mother and husband at Fellowship Village, I am in very frequent contact with whichever staff member I think can help me. And I'm never made to feel as if I'm interrupting.

My 90 year old mom was there for four weeks after a long hospital stay. Sometimes she waited over 40 minutes just to go to the bathroom. The aids never ask if there is anything else that she need, they walk right out of the room as soon as she is back in her chair, often forgetting to give her her call button. Instead of helping her get back to independent living they got her dependent on diapers. The physical therapy wasnt all that great either (they did not do too much). The food is horrible and my mom lost 15 pounds after the first 3 weeks without anyone saying anything to me. Oh and the showers, my mom got a foot fungus. and it took two weeks for her just to get her first shower. They sent her home without having a shower in 10 days. Like others said, there are a few nice people who care, but most don't. I saw the aids hanging out in an oversized closet so that they cant be found when paged.

If you are an active older adult looking for a warm community, a safe environment, lovely…read moreaccommodations, stimulating activities, tasty and varied meal options, and access to transportation options that free you from depending on a car, then you might consider Flushing House. I have been a resident for a few months now and I highly recommend it. The location is extraordinary. It is on a quiet street, but two blocks from the hustle and bustle of downtown Flushing with its many stores and transportation options. Manhattan is an easy commute, just a 5-minute walk to the LIRR station and a 15-minute ride to Penn Station or Grand Central. I work part-time in Manhattan, and I've never had an easier commute! Queens College, with its plays and excellent musical offerings, is a quick ride on a nearby bus. Flushing Town Hall with its stellar jazz program is four blocks away. The beautiful Flushing Library is an easy walk, as is Macy's and one of the best pizzerias in Queens. Here at Flushing House itself, there are many interesting offerings - book club, language clubs, exercise programs, both domestic and foreign movies, and a lovely rooftop atrium that is open 24 hours a day. There are many food options at each meal and, once you realize all the choices you have ( on and off the menu) you can always find something you like. One can pick up meals and take them back to one's apartment, but the communal dining room has been a way for me to meet other residents and make the acquaintance of some lovely people. The staff is kind, hardworking and understanding with residents (even when a resident might be cranky!). My apartment is very sunny, clean, and comfortable, and weekly housekeeping is included. If you are an active older adult wondering what the next step in life should be, come to one of the frequent open houses that Flushing House hosts and see for yourself. You may find, as I did, that it is a lovely place in a great location with a price that is very reasonable considering all that is included.

They were supposed to refund our deposit within 6-8 weeks. It's been almost 3 months, numerous phone calls, emails, texts and still no refund check!!! NYS has a 14 day law on refunding security deposits! This is ridiculous! Are they running a legit business or are they running a scam??? Now, no one calls back or returns emails. I have filed a complaint with the state attorney general's office and I will be taking Flushing House to court. If they are so shoddy in administration, how could they possibly be doing a good job running the independent living facility? I am just glad we decided not to put my elderly parents here. There is something not legit going on in this facility. If I can give them a 0 star, I would. 1 star is too good for them.

We were excited to visit her and see where she was living now. And to our pleasant surprise, we found CM to be a beautiful retirement village that catered so well to our Aunt's needs. My Aunt's apartment was so cozy and perfect for her, and what an amazing view she has from her balcony. You're literally looking into a forest of beautiful trees, especially now during the Fall season. And nearby, is another gorgeous view. My sister and I had the privilege of staying in an apartment right on the grounds of CM for guests to those who live there. How convenient that was for all of us. We were impressed with all the staff that my Aunt introduced us to. They were so friendly, attentive and all with a smile. We ate in the formal dining hall once for dinner, and it was so delicious. And we also had lunch one day in the Cafe, which was equally as good. My Aunt is 88 (soon to be 89) years old, but still has a lot of "kick and bounce" in her. And we're so happy she chose CM as her retirement home. We feel she's well taken care of, safe and has everything she needs right there. So thank you, CM, for a wonderful vacation you provided my sister and me. We're looking forward to coming back for another visit next year. And thank you for taking such good care of our Auntie Elaine, too! =)

My father had a fairly brief stay in nursing home at Crane's Mill from July of 2024 through…read moreOctober of 2024. I waited to write this review so I would be able to reflect more clearly on the experience. Mostly, my father's and my family's time there was not very positive. I am leaving the two stars for those staff members that did treat my father with kindness, compassion and understanding. We decided to put my father on hospice so we could access more daily care and less medical testing ect. However, what we observed is less concern, less care and less compassion. My father's care was not easy as he had little mobility and dementia/delirium the last few weeks was significant. Hospice did provide pharmacological intervention but did not provide much support or communication with the family. Fortunately, my family was able to spend every day with him and provide him with the support required to make him as comfortable as possible. The most disturbing was that my father was placed at the end of the hall and after this daily visit once per shift by the nurse, there was no check- ins by the aides other than the alert bell that he could ring. The thing is when we rang, it was longer then 10 to 15 minutes before anyone would show up and at times it could be 30 to 40 minutes. No aide was stationed outside in the hall, so I spent much of my time searching for help. There were four occasions, I found them on their cell phones in empty rooms. Rarely, did not see supervisors on the floor making periodic checks on both him and staff. Basically, any assistance received other than the bare minimum, was mostly reactive not proactive. I would like to thank the nurse that did sit with him a few times during the end as his anxiety was severe and also the staff members that alerted me when his needs not being met. In the end, an aide assigned to my dad daily was treating me harshly, that I hired a private aide to stay with my father so that I could take a break from what appeared to be passive aggressive cruelty. This aide refused my father his last cup of coffee on his last day telling him the kitchen was closed, as my brother showed up and retrieved a cup in that kitchen. Previously, I did ask supervisor to speak to her but was told, that it was happening. I often wonder how she treated him while I was not present as he was somewhat helpless. Unfortunately, taking care of both my parents, I witnessed other facilities, and it is my opinion as a society, we must do better with the elderly. Working with the elderly and health care is a very difficult job. Owners and administrators must do better providing a caring emotionally and monetary rewarding environment for their staff. The response to these reviews asks the writer to call and discuss. Again, reactive, so I will offer my further input only if it is a proactive response.
