HeartHomes at Bay Ridge

We moved my father-in-law to Heart Homes almost three years ago. We had no bad experiences with them at all. They communicated whenever he needed anything, about his medications, when the doctor saw him, everything. We never found his room or bathroom in any state of disarray or unclean. He was dressed whenever we went and we never saw any other of the residents in a bad way either. He was on the memory care side but still communicated with us and was happy and content whenever we saw him. While it is true that Heart Homes doesn''t have a lot of extra "bells and whistles", the place was always clean and the residents cared for. I watched on many occasions the staff taking extra care of a resident, and not when they knew I saw. If you look at social media, there are many pictures of activities they did do. Sadly, Covid brought a halt to everything but they also got most, if not all, of the residents safely through the beginning and arranged for the vaccines as soon as possible for each resident, with family permission. There are still mitigation requirements in place to continue to keep residents safe. We just lost my father-in-law and more than one of the staff were crying in his room along with us. That to us was the final testament to how much they cared for him.

in 2019 we found Heart Home at Bay Ridge near our home, for our Mom. At first before CoVid, it was a pleasant place, however, there were not many, if any, activities for the residents. The transportation vans were not operating. If I ever mentioned anything to the managers, they would be defensive. AFTER CoVID, the Heart Home at Bay Ridge got worse! The place looked dirty, and my Mom''s hearing aids had been kept in a drawer during CoVid and we had to get them repaired due to not being given to my Mom. On Mother''s Day my husband and I brought soup to our Mom. You would think that Mother''s Day decorations or something would be visible, but no, Nothing!!! There was only one caregiver there, and she said we couldn''t use the dining hall, so we went to her room. The smell was so bad that we had to leave. Our Mom had been sitting in feces for who knows how long! We had to call the caregiver and say we could not be in this room. She needed changing. (And we even had an appointment to come in). She seemed annoyed at us, but changed her, finally. Our soup was cold by now. Wow, what a Mother''s Day we had. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT WHEN WE LEFT THIS HOME IN MAY 2021, OUR MOM"S PRESCRIPTIONS FROM THERE WERE NOT CANCELED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2, 2021. WE HAD TO ASK FOR A REFUND FROM THE PHARMACY SHE WAS USING BECAUSE HEART HOME WAS SO OUT-OF-TOUCH WITH MONTHLY PRESCRIPTIONS. WHY DID IT TAKE 4 MONTHS TO SEND BACK MONTHLY PRESCRIPTIONS FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS NO LONGER THERE! UNBELIEVABLE! SCARY TOO!

I would like to inform those who are thinking of this assisted living home to look at the not so clean facility, the limited number of workers, and how activities are lacking. We had an appointment on Mother''s Day and there was no special effort made for this holiday. Our Mom has been in need of her hearing aides which were not given to her during the CoVid pandemic. We had to have them serviced since they had not been plugged in for weeks... I would not suggest this place for a loved one.

I’m really disappointed in how my 90 year old grandmother was treated here. I’m not sure if it was Covid that caused them to completely slip... but they hadn’t been taking care of my grandma while we hadn’t been able to see her. Her hair and nails were so nasty.. they didn’t even know she ...

I’m really disappointed in how my 90 year old grandmother was treated here. I’m not sure if it was Covid that caused them to completely slip... but they hadn’t been taking care of my grandma while we hadn’t been able to see her. Her hair and nails were so nasty.. they didn’t even know she had hearing aids they told us. My grandma is nearly deaf without them! I am so disappointed.. the kitchen was so gross and nasty when we came to visit her on Mother’s Day. Totally not up to code.... I am so glad that she has been transferred to another home nearby. I can’t recommend at this time.

Not impressed. Katie has an attitude. Try smiling girl.

Last evening, families of residents were invited to celebrate Thanksgiving with their loved ones. We had a great time! A big thank you to the staff that prepared the tasty dinner and the entertainment who interacted with residents. Lots of laughs and good memories.
