Most places we visited were decorated in the 80's, dusty and dark, smelled of cheese and had felt really depressing. Enter Brightview Tenafly, and you'll feel like this is a place where people are actually happy. It felt like a well-run hotel. It's super clean, freshly painted, modern with a traditional touch - bright and clean, with plenty of light, and comfortable furniture that could be in a cute little hotel on the coast. The receptionist greeted us with a smile and Ritchie, our principle contact, was genuinely pleased to see us (unlike other homes where we felt like we were a burden to ask for a tour or see the director). Depending on the time of day see residents reading the newspaper, doing Tai Chi or having a drink during happy hour. The most important factor I'd like to stress is that every staff person I meet here is genuinely pleasant and supportive of the residents. We had been looking on and off for a few years in NY, NJ, and CT. We even thought of bringing her back to the UK. It was an emotional process, filled with guilt (why can't I do more?) sadness (why is she going downhill?) and honestly, even a bit of anger (How am I going to decide this? What will I do with all her stuff?). I always felt sick after leaving assisted living homes. They never felt right. However, last spring when she was departing hospital for the 3rd time this year, we knew we had to make a move. It helped that SHE was on board (ok, we had to nudge her a bit!) and also knew it was time to move. We were so glad she had opinions of what she wanted - and didn't want - in her future residence. It helped us narrow our options down. The clincher was that she was able to do a "trial run," stay for one month, and see if she liked it. She was able to move into a beautifully furnished, studio apartment. I didn't find any other facility else that had that choice. It was a fantatic option, as both sides get to see if it's a good fit. After a week we knew. We saw how the staff made sure to know her and her (sometimes slightly annoying (!) requirements that helped her feel heard. She liked that she could get her nails done (often it would be so hard to take her to get her hair, nails and other chores done when she lived at home). She saw movies and began painting classes. She could go to church services. She loved the choices she had for food (it's restaurant style, with plenty of options). I don't often gush about things. It's not the English way. But I've been so impressed; I feel Brightview deserves it. * I must insert here that we were looking for assisted living, not memory care, but I'd wager they have their act together to in that sector as well.

I called this place to schedule someone to take care of my elderly grandmother and the person who…read moreanswered the phone was so incredibly unfriendly and rude. She wouldn't give me her name, she didnt have any sort of professionalism and left me at a loss on how to initiate the conversation that involves me handing them my hard earned dollars. when i asked her what steps i could take to move forward with evergreen choice after an incredibly unfriendly silence she literally said "if you're looking for a job you can go to our website" talking to that woman was like the textbook example of how not to make a sale. When the owner, Ann, called she was just as unfriendly as the nameless entity that represents her business. Ann told me, quite rudely, after i laid out that i wanted someone to come to my grandmothers home 3 days a week for 4 hours a day, That the time i needed someone to watch my grandmother was not worth it to the caretakers and if i couldnt bump the time up to at least 6 hours a day no one would take the job and it would be a 'revolving door of caretakers'. I understand what she was saying, but she reduced my elderly grandmother, that i care deeply about, to a job and a job that isnt worth it to the people she chose to surround herself with and represent her brand. I cannot figure out how am i supposed to trust Ann enough to have someone she chose watch my grandmother, largely unsupervised, when she cant even get it together enough to sound slightly kind at all over the phone. Speaking to her offended me, made me feel like i was imposing on her, and also like my grandmother was too burdensome for Ms. Ann without a larger payout. Not feelings that made my heart smile about handing thousands of dollars to her. If Evergreen choice's over the phone service is so unfriendly and brusque i cant imagine their caretakers are much kinder. Not the sort of people i would want looking after my freaking grandmother. Whatever entity on behalf of evergreen choice answered their phone needs to be retrained and Ann needs to take a hard look at her branding strategy. The way to get people to pay you is NOT to tell them that the person they care about isnt worth it or lucrative enough for you. Meanie.

Note: This not a review of the complete Calvary Hospital service portfolio, which also includes a…read moresocial work aspect. Few people give thought to dying and death. Most people probably vaguely plan to pass away peacefully at home, perhaps surrounded by loved ones. But this isn't possible sometimes. For such times, an inpatient hospice facility can handle end-of-life transitions peacefully and respectfully -- for the most part. Calvary Hospital is one of the larger hospice providers in the New York City area. ArchCare operates the 18-room Dawn Greene Hospice under the banner of Calvary Hospital, at the Mary Manning Walsh Home, a nursing home in the Upper East Side. The Hospice is on the 15th Floor. Patients may expect to suffer a few frustrations: - Patient records may not transfer smoothly from previous healthcare providers. - The food is not good. The hot water could be a little hotter. - Patients may be discouraged by staff from using the in-room bathrooms, and asked instead to use underpads or bedside commodes. - Patients may be discouraged by staff from leaving their beds. - Some weekend staff seem less responsive and responsible than most weekday staff. Many of these limitations are understandable. Hospices are designed, staffed, and funded for palliative care; not emergency care, not curative care, not assisted living. That said, staff could be better trained in wound care. The duration of a patient's stay at a hospice may be anyone's guess. The balancing act between the incredible resilience and tragic frailty of the human condition can be unknowable. The one surprise of our experience here was that they asked us to remove our loved one on the same day as death. This hospice, as with most, apparently does not have a morgue, and must comply with health mandates. Do have concrete plans for a funeral home or mortuary as your loved one enters a hospice. Visitor Logistics: - The best way to reach Dawn Greene Hospice is via mass transit, as on-street parking is scarce and nearby parking garages are expensive. However, parking websites / apps may provide coupons for nearby parking garages. - Consider making restaurant reservations or using Yelp's Waitlist feature early if there is a possibility of eating dinner in the area -- the best nearby restaurants do fill up early. - Visitor check-in / check-out is handled by the nursing home. - There is VPN-friendly Wi-Fi. Ask for the password at the front desk. - A patient shower room by Elevator Bank A serves as a makeshift visitor bathroom. (Each patient room has its own bathroom, but with a non-lockable door.) - The Family Lounge is a comfortable room, with a television, circular conference table, individual lounge-style chairs, a loveseat sofa (i.e., seats two), a refrigerator with freezer, a microwave, a K-cup coffee / tea maker, and a cold water and ice dispenser. Weekly meal menus for patients are posted here, as is the meal delivery schedule. - As a reminder, items placed in the refrigerator / freezer must be labeled. - During the Covid-19 quarantine, visitors in the Family Lounge are asked to keep their masks on and stay 6 feet apart. - There are no accommodations for visitors who wish the spend the night with their loved ones, other than the cushioned in-room lounge chair and whatever footrest can be found. This is typical of most inpatient facilities. Overall: Despite some misgivings, Dawn Greene Hospice does a good job overall in providing an important service that meets most patient, family, and visitor needs. We don't live in a perfect world; better treatment would require significantly greater systemic investment, or deeper pockets for private nursing services. I am grateful that this hospice made the last days of our loved one more comfortable than they would have otherwise been.

They treated my mom with respect, love, and good humor. The place is clean, has lovely furnishings and decorations (which my mom always liked!), and a good variety of different places for seniors to visit, sit, and walk. There were always fun events planned for the seniors, including parties, concerts, crafts, movies, Bingo, lectures, and more. I loved receiving a daily email from the facility with information about the menu and events so I could remind mom about fun things to do. As the years progressed, mom had increasingly challenging health issues, but the folks at Brandywine scaled up their support and took such good care of her. I was able to go to work every day knowing that she was in good hands. And I also feel that Brandywine didn't just care for Mom, but they were also so supportive of our family at each stage of my Mom's decline - they were kind, caring, knowledgeable, and served as thoughtful partners in my caregiving. I am especially appreciative of Asif in the Wellness Center, Janet in Customer Care, Lisa (one of the caregivers), Jeremy at the front desk (who put up with my constant phone calls!), Toni in the business office, and everyone else whose names I missed. Each time I drive past Brandywine I miss mom, but I am thankful that she was able to spend her final years of life in the care of such wonderful people. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a caring community for their loved one.
