Highly recommend Elderwood Village
I would say 5 for everything but food and activities. For those I would rate 4. The activities director at the time did not reach out to my mom when she first moved in so she did not know when things were happening. But other than that the activities were great. The food was very good but sometimes inconsistent with quality.
The facility is very clean and well-maintained. The staff are extremely helpful and caring. They went above and beyond to support my mom while she was in transition to death. Most assisted living places will not take hospice patients but Elderwood does which is very helpful. The only caveat is that the family must also help.

warm, welcoming community
The only issue I would mention is that upon acceptance of our friend as a resident, at the last minute we were told we needed to have an internal med dr and someone to manage her psych meds in place before she would be allowed to move in. As she was moving from NJ to Albany NY, it was a scramble to get those in place. Other than that, we have found the staff warm, helpful and interested in our friend's care. We've been very happy with Elderwood.

our loved one is much happier than what we thought she would be
my mom is happy at Elderwood Village. she likes living in this community and enjoys her time here; I would recommend it to others. we initially had a small hiccup in the beginning when processing her paperwork and it did take us a while to get to the bottom of it, but it has since been resolved. as my mom's health and mobility strengthens, she is able to participate in more activities, which is a plus. while she could not engage in physical activity, the community had non-mobile things such as bingo. our loved one is much happier than what we thought she would be. several friends and extended family members have commented on her wellbeing and says she seems to be in a good space.

A Pleasant Place to Stay
I haven't found a better place around. If anybody wanted to go to a place for assisted living, I would highly recommend Elderwood Village at Colonie. It's so easy to get along with everybody there. The food looks delicious. They always have stuff going on. They have a big white board where my loved one can see what's going on every day. And if she's hesitant to participate, the caregivers will say "Come on, let's go try this!" It's the best bang for the buck you can possibly find. We visit about twice a week, and it's very peasant there. There's nothing I can say that's wrong with the place. The only thing that would make the whole thing easier is if I didn't have to fill out the Covid slips when I go in to visit. But I understand the need for them, and I very much appreciate that they're keeping everybody safe.

We would recommend
The staff members would be a 10 they were outstanding and the care services were terrific. They were always keeping in touch with us making us aware of everything going on. They would send out constant emails of things they were trying to do, and they did their best with the activities. We were very pleased with them they took very good care of our loved one.

comfort for all
The staff does a great job and is very energetic. They would list what activities could be done in your room and they would give them a package the next morning. The community had a good plan for covid and kept the residence safe. The community had a barber and a little general store you could buy from. I would recommend this community to others.

Great experience so far
We chose Elderwood Village at Colonie because of the cleanliness of the facility and for what it provided. They do provide a lot of activities for the residents. The rooms were nice size and it is all on one floor. They have great with communication, they send us a weekly letter and if anything happens they immediately call us. I would absolutely recommend them.

Elderwood Village At Colonie
I have always seen the community clean and there has been no problems. The staff is very good. The nurses do a good job of communicating with us about our loved one's care. If there is anything my aunt needs, they make sure to give us a call. They have had a lot of activities in the past and frequently post them online. The price is not cheap but it seems fair given the level of care.

Respite stay at Colonie Brookdale
Colonie Brookdale was a convenient location but the facility is old and needs a desperate updating. The admission was process was easy and staff is all efficient kind and friendly.
The rooms are very small. Linens are old and outdated and the towels and wash cloths were like sandpaper.
My father did not care for the food there either.
We chose Brookdale as we were told he would receive more rehab there but it took 2 weeks before the agency they use for PT to get paperwork in order. He was only there for a 4 week respite stay.
All in all he is doing well now in a Senior retirement community and we are glad he was able to get stable during his stay at Brookdale.

smoke and mirrors
At first glance Brookdale seems like an expensive dream come true for your loved one. When you take the "tour" all staff is called to arms, all residents are gathered in the common room or other areas in the facility engaged with staff, and staff & residents are engaged in activities, the facility is spotless, daily menu's, passed & future outside activities, stimulation activities (since this is an Alzheimer assisted living facility) and general care are discussed. Sounds great, right??
I would suggest making random visits. Maintenance staff takes days to address issues (if at all), 4 care givers on staff at any given time (when you can find them), activities not the staff/resident engagement presented during tour & management shows interest in your concerns but does not address them.
My family member has been here for over a year, his room is always dirty, sink unusable, he is rarely groomed/bathed, medical issues and injuries not addressed, toiletries never replenished (toilet paper) and 2 costly resident fee increases, this last one for "grooming expense" which is funny since a family member had personally had to do that each visit due to the lack thereof.
Though this facility is better then some out there, the cost does not represent the care.

Nice Experience, Pleasant Tour
I had a good tour of this community. It is a nice community with kind people. The only issue we had were that the room they showed us were small. The layout of the community was similar to a college dorm. The experience went well, and everyone was nice. However I did find a community that suited our needs better.
