Stay away from McClellan's in Beacon-I placed my Mom there-it's basically all dementia patients. They don't tell you that when you visit the place. She left in less than a month there. She was treated like she didn't have any smarts at all-Mom maybe almost 86, but has all her faculties.
The Fountains in Millbrook are beautiful-but pricey. Very impressed with everything we saw there. I wanted to check in-it was a cruise ship without the boat!

There's the Avalon in Wappingers by the airport-nice, but no real outside place the residents can go.
The newest one is in Highland. Much different than anything that's been here before-more like what my relatives live in Virginia.

Now if her Mom is fairly independant and gets about fairly well, there's the Manor at Woodside. My Mom was there for a bit-while we were retrofitting her house after she broke her hip. Most residents have private aides that come in and help-others are totally sufficient. Plenty of activities, shuttle bus to shopping, theater and Dr appointments.

Good luck, it's hard to find good ones. I spent weeks looking at them. I know Arden Hill is still there-but that was too far away for us.
