Presbyterian Residential Community in New Hartford, NY

Ask a lot of questions. Don't assume. . . We find out new things all the time. So even if you think you know, ask. And make sure you ask if there is a charge/fee, as that information has been an afterthought on their part. Generally they provide good care to my loved one.
