No facility is perfect. Knew names of 2 nurses that stood out for their professionalism and care : Edguardo (4th floor)and Renee(3rd floor) RN Joanne appeared to act better than the others but was actually the worst - spoke to visitors with an attitude. She took away from the decent image I took Sky View for. CNAs did the best they could with the staff that they had each day. Seemed to exhibit comradeship. Food was well prepared -- Dining Room staff is scarce. Took nearly 1 1/2hrs to have 80+ y.o wait for their full lunch. Have entertainment/patio BBQs/ "gardening" using an elevated window box - holiday parties(those are actually impressive and memorable to spend with your loved one) Won't say I wouldn't recommend, but like ANY Nursing Home, yes it's a Nursing Home, you have to do your homework and be ahead in the know at all times with what occurs.

There is a hefty fee for an independent living apt and a large upfront medical fee as well, but you are guaranteed an assisted living apt, rehab and nursing home care as well as a section for mental decline if you ever need any if these services for the same monthly fee you pay for the independent living apt. In the long run the initial expense is worth it. Kendal itself is wonderful. People greet you when you are in the common areas and staff members are as nice as the residents. The activities which are resident conceived and run are varied. Many intellectual offerings ranging from book clubs, interesting lectures, concerts and opera films. There are craft rooms which the residents run as well and an indoor pool,,o physical therapy and rehab. I live here and love it.

Initially, the independent living section at Kendal on Hudson was wonderful, however as our loved…read moreone stepped down to the care sections, their experience declined and our concerns grew. Due to several upsetting incidents, we asked about placing a camera in their room. We were informed cameras were NOT permitted by Kendal on Hudson (except in independent living). After our loved one passed away, our family arrived to clear out their room in the Sunnyside section and were shocked to find it had been left unlocked since our loved one had been taken into the hospital. Upon entering the room it was obvious many items were missing. We informed the administrator and were treated terribly. Ultimately, the incident was reported to the police. It was an awful time for our family, made so much worse by the treatment we received, and the complete lack of accountability or responsibility for protecting our loved one's property. Kendal's policy of no cameras throughout areas of the care sections, including residents' rooms, allowed them to completely control the narrative. This really made us question some of our earlier concerns. I wish we had a better experience because our loved one sold their family home to enter this facility. Unless Kendal on Hudson has changed their policy, I would suggest you consider a facility with a camera-friendly policy, as it's often the only witness these vulnerable residents have.

It was also damaging me with the stress of arguing to get proper care, which made the patient sicker watching how I was getting more and more distressed at the difficulties--my family member felt more a burden than when I cared for them without help which breaks my heart. The opposite of how I thought things would go. I went in with hope, relief that I would have back up. We left their home-based hospice after more than a month--and before getting the type of care they promise in their publications and media posts. If you just want morphine, this place will work out fine. If you don't like them charging thousands to Medicare while not treating your family member right, then look elsewhere--try home health care instead of hospice--seeing as how we have very little choices here for hospice care.

December 2018 - January 2019 Beautiful facility - private…read morerooms for rehab residents and looks like a 5 star hotel and we thought that it would be an ideal place for my mother but it wasn't. Note - everyone goes into rehab with different needs. If your loved one needs little to no medical care and is pure rehab (i.e. hip replacement) then this place may be a good fit. My mother (84 years old) had complex medical needs and needed more medical care and more day-to-day help than The Jewish Home was set up to provide. Day-toDay: The aides are critical to the day-to-day comfort and satisfaction of residents/patients and when this group is not managed well, then life until discharge is poor. I met with the supervisor, the director and finally the CEO in order to request changes but found that fundamentally, the supervisors have little to no people management training. My mother rang her call bell with extreme delays in response time. Thirty minutes was not unusual to wait for someone come in to take my mother to the bathroom and then leave my mother alone on the toilet for extreme lengths of time. I found out from an aide that they all went on their break at the same time and they only worked the rooms assigned. So, if a resident was on the toilet and the call bell was on - the resident waited until their aide was available. I finally brought in a private pay "companion" to sit in my mothers room all day so that she could request help by walking to the desk or to call me when there was an issue that I needed to be aware of. (non employee's cannot assist resdients) Medical: I asked for a cardiologist to see my mother and told "he hasn't been into the Jewish Home in more than 3 weeks". When I asked why - the answer was - I have no idea. My first thought was "really?". My second thought was to escalate. I think that top management did not understand, as is often the case for medical facilities, that it should be less about "this is not how we do it" and more about "what should we do differently?". The executive team was kind, caring, and looking to the future but they did not see the little things that mattered so much to residents and to families. I spoke to many, many other residents family members and we shared stories. Some situations were similar i.e. call bell issues and in other cases people had bigger issues than we were experiencing. PT: My mother was not allowed out of her wheelchair unless with PT. PT saw my mother for a short time each day. So my mother spent over 23 hours a day in a wheelchair - little progress was made. My mother's wheelchair was terrible and when asked to swap it out we were told that there weren't enough to do that. PT shared that they were always short on needed equipment which should not be the case in a facility like this. So, finally I gave up and took my mother out of The Jewish Home. She had 24/7 care when she got home and was using her walker within 2 weeks. In closing I want to say - I saw the potential for The Jewish Home rehab facility to be a really, really good place to rehab for any level of care that may be needed. What was missing was management training and soft skill training for their supervisors. I had requested this over and over and I hope at some point following my mother's discharge, this was discussed within the facility.

We spoke the other day with the medical director. He took a good amount of time to talk to us about my loved one's medical condition and our concerns. Looked in depth at his chart and history. Ultimately told us to invite our loved one's PCP to contact him to share thoughts to try to dig deeper into some things. In short, very personal attentive one on one care. Very knowledgeable. You don't get that everywhere if at all. The fact the head medical director made himself available to us without requiring a scheduled meeting or heads up is amazing care. Every staff member we have encountered is kind and friendly. Very personable and outgoing. You don't get the bare minimum. You can tell they care. They joke. They express concern. They listen and interact. And we have seen this with other patients in other rooms when no third parties are around. So it isn't just best behavior when family is present. It is the way of life here. So I continue to be so pleased with this facility.
