Recent reviews for memory care in Chester Center

The Atrium at Rocky Hill

4.4
My dad liked being at the atrium. I thought he would have received better health care, but I guess that's not what they do. My dad contracted shingles on his face, and it took a while to be treated correctly. Overall, it was a much better place than the nursing home he is in now.

Eddy Memory Care at Eddy Hawthorne Ridge in East Greenbush, NY

5.0
I've been very happy with the care my mom received at Hawthorne Ridge. Specifically, you kept her safe. I know too well how devastating the past 20 months have been and was impressed with the hard work of the team there. You've done a remarkable job.
