Great. They looked after my mom and cared for her. This facility was clean and neat. I am grateful for the care given. Thank you.

The Landing at Queensbury

The Landing has an outing on Mondays. They go to Hannaford's or Walmart. Therese nurses are always available to answer questions, I usually call them & get a prompt response. Same with PT's. The dining room is very nice - they have optional menus if you don't like what's being served for dinner.
