If you are an active older adult looking for a warm community, a safe environment, lovely…read moreaccommodations, stimulating activities, tasty and varied meal options, and access to transportation options that free you from depending on a car, then you might consider Flushing House. I have been a resident for a few months now and I highly recommend it. The location is extraordinary. It is on a quiet street, but two blocks from the hustle and bustle of downtown Flushing with its many stores and transportation options. Manhattan is an easy commute, just a 5-minute walk to the LIRR station and a 15-minute ride to Penn Station or Grand Central. I work part-time in Manhattan, and I've never had an easier commute! Queens College, with its plays and excellent musical offerings, is a quick ride on a nearby bus. Flushing Town Hall with its stellar jazz program is four blocks away. The beautiful Flushing Library is an easy walk, as is Macy's and one of the best pizzerias in Queens. Here at Flushing House itself, there are many interesting offerings - book club, language clubs, exercise programs, both domestic and foreign movies, and a lovely rooftop atrium that is open 24 hours a day. There are many food options at each meal and, once you realize all the choices you have ( on and off the menu) you can always find something you like. One can pick up meals and take them back to one's apartment, but the communal dining room has been a way for me to meet other residents and make the acquaintance of some lovely people. The staff is kind, hardworking and understanding with residents (even when a resident might be cranky!). My apartment is very sunny, clean, and comfortable, and weekly housekeeping is included. If you are an active older adult wondering what the next step in life should be, come to one of the frequent open houses that Flushing House hosts and see for yourself. You may find, as I did, that it is a lovely place in a great location with a price that is very reasonable considering all that is included.

BEWARE! DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES TO THIS PLACE! We put a $5500 deposit down for the waitlist…read morefor a 1-bedroom apartment on 2/14/26 but told them to take us off the waitlist on 4/22/26 since we no longer needed it. They were supposed to refund our deposit within 6-8 weeks. It's been almost 3 months, numerous phone calls, emails, texts and still no refund check!!! NYS has a 14 day law on refunding security deposits! This is ridiculous! Are they running a legit business or are they running a scam??? Now, no one calls back or returns emails. I have filed a complaint with the state attorney general's office and I will be taking Flushing House to court. If they are so shoddy in administration, how could they possibly be doing a good job running the independent living facility? I am just glad we decided not to put my elderly parents here. There is something not legit going on in this facility. If I can give them a 0 star, I would. 1 star is too good for them.

Update: Yes, it IS coming from you. Castle Senior Living appears in as the caller ID. I called back AND looked up your number online and called that number and asked you to stop.

Singles can get a one bedroom or a studio apartment. Apartment floor plans can be seen on their website. If you might have trouble keeping track of your medications they can handle that for you with dispensing at breakfast, lunch and dinner as your needs require. They will come to your apartment to deliver meds too! The dinning room is more like a restaurant as you get to chose from a menu at every meal. Outside of the dining room snacks are served. There is always something to do with a calendar of events offering a range from bingo to more cerebral things like discussions of court cases and current events. WiFi is free but you can also order faster service from Spectrum. "Spectrum Assist" + USA Gov subsidy based on your income could get you that service at no cost to you. Be sure that you request both subsidies at same time as "Spectrum Assist" is not available for "existing customers". In other words if you get internet with $30 federal subsidy and then request "Spectrum Assist" you will be denied as you are an "existing customer". The staff is wonderful. Do your due diligence when considering places. One place was taken to court for taking advantage of residents. Their idea of assisted living was two strangers in one room without even a privacy curtain between beds. Search names of places with appropriate key words.

I'm sharing this review as a result of my call with their staff Eleanor on Wednesday, March 8 at…read more1pm ET and I immediately sent an email to their general inbox calling attention to their executive team. *edit - suggest you include language such as Elders are required to know and speak BASIC ENGLISH on your website and admission package so for those NON-ENGLISH families we don't waste time speaking with your staff. THANK YOU! ----------------------------------------------- I was calling to get an inquiry about getting additional information for a community for my elderly grandma and I wanted to share my experience with you. I appreciate the prompt response getting a call the next day but the level of service your staff, Eleanor provided is truly despicable. For context my grandma is 86 years old and she's been in this country for more than 40 years and no she doesn't speak English. We lived in a Chinese community for a majority of her life and she leaned on her family members to be her advocate to translate for her. I'm DISGUSTED that Eleanor REPEATEDLY ASK ME SHE DOESN'T SPEAK A WORD OF ENGLISH AND HOW SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO COMMUNICATE IF SHE NEEDS HELP OR PAIN. Either Eleanor needs some listening lessons to hear what the family needs are or SHE NEEDS TO BE LESS JUDGEMENTAL about non-ENGLISH speaking elders. I'm so disappointed GIVEN YOUR RATINGS and will DEFINITELY BE SHARING THIS WITH OUR AAPI community about HOW NON-INCLUSIVE your community is. We are a family looking for care for our elderly grandma and if she doesn't brush up her customer service, I'm concerned for your business model. Lastly, if this is the FIRST ENGAGEMENT OF A STAFF MEMBER, HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TRUST YOUR OTHER STAFF? Sincerely, A CONCERNED PROSPECT & CARING GRANDDAUGHTER

He was always treated with the utmost respect and received exceptional care. Everyone from the staff at the reception desk to the office staff to the nursing staff and personal care staff were all wonderful to him and our entire family. In fact we believe that living at the Brandywine in Little Neck extend our Dad's life probably by years. We will always cherish the many good times we spent there celebrating holidays and his birthdays. The Brandywine at the Savoy gets our highest recommendation. Jerry P. Jr.

They treated my mom with respect, love, and good humor. The place is clean, has lovely furnishings and decorations (which my mom always liked!), and a good variety of different places for seniors to visit, sit, and walk. There were always fun events planned for the seniors, including parties, concerts, crafts, movies, Bingo, lectures, and more. I loved receiving a daily email from the facility with information about the menu and events so I could remind mom about fun things to do. As the years progressed, mom had increasingly challenging health issues, but the folks at Brandywine scaled up their support and took such good care of her. I was able to go to work every day knowing that she was in good hands. And I also feel that Brandywine didn't just care for Mom, but they were also so supportive of our family at each stage of my Mom's decline - they were kind, caring, knowledgeable, and served as thoughtful partners in my caregiving. I am especially appreciative of Asif in the Wellness Center, Janet in Customer Care, Lisa (one of the caregivers), Jeremy at the front desk (who put up with my constant phone calls!), Toni in the business office, and everyone else whose names I missed. Each time I drive past Brandywine I miss mom, but I am thankful that she was able to spend her final years of life in the care of such wonderful people. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a caring community for their loved one.
