About the facility

Located just north of Albany, New York, Brookdale East Niskayuna allows seniors to find enriching memory care services and a safe place to call home. Brookdale emphasizes the importance of round-the-clock security and person-centered care through exclusive programming and homelike features. Here, residents have access to two memory care programs — Clare Bridge and Solace. The Clare Bridge program is an exclusive brand of dementia care which was established more than 30 years ago. It provides residents with six planned activities each day to promote the use of their current skills, both mentally and physically. The Solace program, on the other hand, offers additional support to residents in the late stages of dementia. It provides assistance with grooming, and incorporates engaging activities using music and aromatherapy. Regardless of residents’ unique care needs, the staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency. Plus, the community features secured entrances and exits, an emergency alert system, and enclosed outdoor spaces. To provide comfort and convenience, residents have access to a relaxing screened lanai, a pharmacy, and a beauty/barber shop. A special dining program is also available here. With easy-to-manage selections, pre-selected seating, and dining...

The facility was inviting. The living areas were clean and home like. Residents appeared to be content. I liked the limit of the number of residents in the facility and the therapy provided if necessary.

We were very impressed with this facility and after touring several found this to be our first choice mainly because of the enhanced license that allows the true meaning of Aging in place. One would not need to relocate as the progression that often accompanies Memory Care occurred. In our particular case however mom has decided to give Florida as a snowbird this winter a chance and will be joining us as opposed to remaining in the area. Sabrina was extremely helpful and informative. As an aside I did talk to family members in the parking lot one of whom had her mom there for a few years and all she did was speak very positive about staff and conditions so to us that said a lot.

Everything was fine with the tour. I’m a bit worried since our intake appointment was cancelled. I will have to continue to look just in case. As the caregiver I’m getting overwhelmed with my job and everything else.

My families experience

It's a good room, it's nice, more attention needed to be paid to residents who need assist with ADL'S toileting, glasses hearing aides, shoes, lacking daily. Couldn't get meds figured out, never met or spoke with MD. Multiple falls requiring trips to ED for care. There is more to ASSISTED living than aesthetics.

Friendly and caring staff

A staff that cares about the residents. Also, I'm kept in the loop on all issues. The only negative has been their inability to keep her hearing aid charged and available for her use. It's been missing for weeks now and will probably never be found. She's practically deaf without it. It's unfortunate. It directly impacts her quality of life.

Some initial bumps in the road

Initially some medication administration concerns, Inconsistent care patterns, missing hearing aides,glasses and shoes requiring multiple conversation with team members to address this. Concern with skin issues due to pressure. Not present on admission now has sacral pressure injury. We do appreciate the attentiveness if the staff ,but concerned about need to repeatedly address issues.

Brookdale East Niskayuna Review

My dad passed away [date removed] at Samaritan Hospital. Although Brookdale East was very nice, my dad's needs were greater than they could manage. When assessing Brookdale, though they told us they provided a higher level of care (enhanced) than other assisted living facilities (such as the the Eddy Hawthorne, where my dad had been, but was a safety risk after multiple falls). Once at Brookdale my dad ended up falling 3 times while there (once because he escaped and made it 1/2 mile down Rt.7) - he was there maybe a total of 3-4 weeks. On his third fall at Brookdale, while at Samaritan, Brookdale still wanted him back, although at that point it was clear my dad needed a skilled nursing facility/memory care facility. So, as much as Brookdale East was clean, the food good, the staff lovely, they seemed hungry for a private pay resident - overlooking the fact that their services were inadequate for my dad's quickly declining state.
