Amber Court of Pelham Gardens

dislikethisnursingfacility

I'm a friend of a resident at this assisted living facility. This facility is in need of new management. I visited on several weekends and the meals on the weekend are always the same grilled cheese and a soup. The other issue is they always lose the residents clothes regardless if they're labeled with the residents name. That's very irresponsible and unprofessional, and yes I did experience seeing bugs and mice crawling on the residents beds. I was in shock. The employees that work there should...

I am a relative of a current relative living at Amber Court, in the Bronx. The place is absolutely discussing.They try to keep the entrance looking good,but its nothing like what it seems to be at the entrance.The place always smells of urine, its filthy,theres bugs ,and much more. The staff is very nasty,they treat those poor people like animals,no I take that back! animals are treaded better!! If you can try to avoid this so discussing place!!

I visited this facility today in search of a new home for my 94yr old grandmother, and I was very impressed by the atmosphere. Upon entering, we were welcomed and given a tour by the Admission Supervisor (Sheila), who is a lovely, knowledgeable, energized woman. My Downs: 1)the meals didn't look that appetizing (mash potato, breaded chicken cutlet and string beans) 2)rooms were a bit small for two people (dorm room style) My Up's: (what you may not know until you visit) 1)you are allowed to br...

The positive about Amber Court was that the administrative staff was very caring and forthcoming. The negative was that it wasn't all what they said it was going to be in terms of programming or the whole ambience. They had activities like bingo and some arts & crafts, but there wasn't anything challenging. It was more geared towards the mentally ill. That was the piece of it that I didn't like. They were more people with mental health issues. The apartments were nice, and I liked it. They cou...

One of my church brothers is there at Pelham Gardens. It is a nice place. It is clean and nice. They have a lot of activities, especially in the summer time. They have the 24-hour care too with nurses. The staff is very nice. For the few times we go there in the day time, they're pretty good. They don't have the attitude. It is a nice community of people. They have activities like line dancing for the old folks, movies, and ping-pong. It is like a home because they can bring some of my friend's ...

Amber Court looked old, the carpeting is old. There were lots of people walking around with walkers. The place is a house for sharing. The rooms were very small for 2 people. They were as big as the bathrooms. The room is only good for 1 person, but the price is too high for 2 in a room. I didn't like it, and I will not recommend them to others. But we were shown the dining room, it was nice. They have a chart with scheduled weekly activities, too.

The facility is a great facility but sometimes they fail to clean on time and provide decent meals for the elder. they have recreation centers for the elder and also bingo night and therapy night which is great; it helps some of the 70 and 80 year olds to communicateey so that they won't feel lonely and isolated. there is a beautiful park to visit and the older adults love it
