Veterans Home

Moving my father out of our home was a difficult decision made for his own safety. The staff at the New York State Veterans Home at Montrose made his transition as smooth as possible. Over the past year they have given him quality care and have shown authentic caring and concern for my father. Everyone there consistently demonstrates professionalism and honest caring for his well-being in all interactions, both with us and with him. Knowing that he is in a clean, safe, caring environment is something that he and we are truly grateful for!

My family member suffers from dementia, so it is essential for me to have communication with the staff. The nurses and social workers always respond quickly to all of my questions or concerns. My family member is well-cared for and treated with respect. All staff members are warm and friendly and know their clients well.

The Montrose Health care team is a group of highly dedicated professionals. They provide the highest quality of care. The Residents there are treated as family. I was able to sleep at night knowing my family member was receiving the best care possible. One cannot say enough about their health care team. Everyone in every department treats the Residents like family. God bless each and everyone of them.

My father was a resident in the FairHaven memory care unit for 4 months until he passed there. The activities and attention to the residents show they are educated about patients with Alzheimers and other dementias. All the residents were always treated with respect whenever I was there. The aides there are very compassionate and kind. The communication to our family from all the staff was excellent. They have a great support structure. I feel my father received excellent care there and that we were very lucky he was a veteran. He had been in another facility the year before and I didn't think it was that bad until I saw the VA home. What a difference! All nursing homes face challenges but the facility was always clean, never smelled and there was always plenty of staff and volunteers wh

Great staff & lovely atmosphere. Clean, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I felt confident that my father was in good hands during his temporary stay. I am a tough sell on Nursing Homes. Having worked in a nursing home myself some years back, I am always starting out from a perspective of suspicion. I was relieved to find all indications that this was a great place for my father, a dementia sufferer. Both his physical and emotional needs were given consideration, which means a lot to me. Further, it was a benefit to him that he was surrounded by fellow world war II Veterans, many of them Navy men like himself. I would not hesitate to recommend the NY State Veterans Home of Montrose.
