This is a pleasant place to live.

Presbyterian Residential Community in New Hartford, NY

4.5
Ask a lot of questions. Don't assume. . . We find out new things all the time. So even if you think you know, ask. And make sure you ask if there is a charge/fee, as that information has been an afterthought on their part. Generally they provide good care to my loved one.

The only issue was the medicine dispensing. They had problems keeping things correct and problems keeping people in that department. However, what we like the most about Brookdale Vestal is the people! They have some great staff and very loving aides
