Braemar Living at Wallkill

Anne

Braemar is relatively new. I think that's the one that probably we're going to wind up having my relative go to. It's still pricey on a monthly basis, but it's comparable. You don't have to put a downpayment down, so that's one of my relative's considerations. To me, you get what you pay for, so it's a nice facility. They have a nice outside solarium. I think my relative would be happy there. Amenities and activities, I think, are comparable. I did drive by there and there were people sitting ...

My mother moved into Braemar Living at Wallkill. I found their care to be pretty good, but I think she was initially assessed incorrectly, she went in with level 2 care, and thus far she was placed in memory care. I felt initially she was misplaced in the facility. The staff was very caring, her room was very nice, clean, modern and I feel the people are well taken care of. The food and dining is very good. They have live music, bingo, religious services, and they have trips out if you're eligib...

What a beautiful facility. I heard about the issues with care however, I also know from talking to management the are aware and fixing the issues and improving the facility. They gave me a direct line to the Corporate office Director of Sales / Admissions and stated if I ever had questions or concerns to call her directly. She has been most helpful with questions. This is going to be the right choice for my mom.

Braemar Living at Wallkill was clean, organized and pleasant. The intake person who toured me was pleasant and knowledgeable. It's an institution, but well designed, and people are free to come and go from their rooms. The dining area was nice, but they had assigned tables, which I don't care about. They don't need to be pigeonholed because there was no one in need of constant care or high level nursing care. Meals and laundry were provided and the rooms were cleaned. I saw the activity room, re...

Mom was placed at the Braemar at her will. She was impressed with the beauty and surroundings as well as the room size. She thought that she would get the help she needed. This was Moms choice and out of pocket. Some of the nurses were extremely attentive but it didn't compare to those that didn't respond to her calls from her room when she needed an ambulance, or didn't provide her medication because they ran out and didn't inform anyone. (We made it clear from the beginning that we were a...

The facility is notoriously understaffed. Residents don't receive the care that they pay for due to the lack of staff. Activity programs are usually canceled atleast 3 times a week. Laundry quite often is not picked up or returned. Linens are regularly not changed.

Braemar at Wallkill was very clean and very new. It has some interesting room options which makes it a little different from other places. They have these little suites that you can share with a roommate while still having the privacy of your own room. You just share the common areas like the bathroom, kitchenette, and another little area for coffee. It's brand-new, nice, and clean. It's amazing that they have a movie theater there and other things. It's like a small city within a city. The comm...

Braemar Living at Wallkill was clean, pleasant, and very professional. The people who took me on the tour were very knowledgeable of all of the services that it provided. They were reassuring and answered questions intelligently. It was a place that I might be comfortable placing my mother in. I saw a shared apartment, but I was a little bit disappointed.

Kathy's friend

Kathy came to Braemar in January 2016 from a home situation in which she was unable to care for herself. She was not taking her medications, was not eating properly, and had fallen and broken her hip. Since her time at Braemar, she has had regular, balanced meals, daily medical attention, and the opportunity to meet people and to socialize. In fact, although a diabetic for at least 20 years, she has lost a healthy amount of weight and is no longer on a diabetic program. This is all thanks to the...

Braemar at Wallkill is a beautiful place, and they actually had a separate dining room if you had a meal with friends which I thought was really nice. It would look like your dining room in a home. They had a bar for Happy Hour, it was fun, and they actually take 80 Medicaid beds, so that's why I went. The staff is very professional and helpful. They had a beautiful library and arts and crafts.

Braemar living is very clean, beautiful, and big. The people are very friendly, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a lot of activities for the residents, they have 2 trips every day, and they have live entertainment every Thursday. They have Bingo and movies every day.

Braemar is a very nice, new, and big place. The people are very warm and friendly. They have a library, a movie room, and a charming cafe with a bar. The dining area is very nice and feels like a friendly place.

We weren’t too thrilled with Braemar because it was assisted living. All of the floors were the same color, and it was very confusing. It was a new facility and was clean but felt different. The people seemed very nice.

Braemar Living at Wallkill was big and had all the levels of care. It's on several floors, and they had elevators, which reminded me more of a hotel type institution. It's new, clean, and looked very nice but also looked a little clinical to me. The staff seemed to be very nice and had a lot of things for the patients to do during the day. The section where my mother was going to be in was the Alzheimer's section upstairs on the third floor behind a locked door. It just seemed a little too steri...

Braemar is a brand new facility, which is great. My mother-in-law is one of the first residents, and she was able to pick a nice room. She is getting a little bit of extra attention, which recently helps tremendously in the transition from leaving in her home to living in an assisted living. It is more likely independent living because they have different theories assistance. They also have a memory care unit which is wonderful because she does have dementia. I couldn’t be more pleased with the ...
