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

Walden Place in Cortland, NY

I think it's a little pricey the amount they charge to give meds I think is a little high. It really is a small facility and It feels more homey my dad seems alot more comfortable there they're always trying to find something new for them to do.
