The [name removed] family experience

Staff is wonderful. The room is substantial. And our overall experience so far has been great. I would recommend them to others who are searching for care for their loved one.

Review for Brookdale East Niskayuna

Overall experience was good. Communication was terrible and every time I wanted to discuss issues with the executive director, she was never in the building or didn't return phone calls.
