    Caring staff, clean, excellent food

    I moved my mother to Beverwyck and we've been very happy: clean, comfortable apartments; caring, professional staff; excellent chef-prepared food; plentiful activities; and strong COVID protocols that gave us real peace of mind. Nurses and aides are attentive and responsive, communication is reliable, and the community feels safe and welcoming. A few caveats - apartments are on the cozy side, dining spacing can feel tight, and you should confirm current staffing, generator coverage, and level-of-care options (it may not suit higher assisted-living needs). Overall I'm glad we chose Beverwyck and would highly recommend giving it a look.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment is strongly positive on many fronts but there are meaningful, recurring concerns that prospective residents and families should evaluate further.

    Positive themes dominate: many reviewers describe Terrace at Beverwyck as clean, bright, attractively decorated and well-maintained, often likening it to a five-star hotel. The facility’s physical amenities are repeatedly praised — private and comfortable apartments, ample gathering spaces, nice outdoor walking areas, a dining room that users find pleasant, a gift shop, accessible parking, and on-site features such as a pool and exercise area. Several comments note modern construction and tasteful decor, and the community’s non-profit status and perceived value are cited as positives.

    Dining and activities are frequently highlighted as strengths. Multiple reviewers emphasize excellent, chef-prepared meals with varied menus, many choices, and the ability to accommodate dietary needs. Social programming is broad and well-attended: yoga, balance exercises, group exercise, movies, music groups, sing-a-longs, theater outings and other outings are mentioned. Residents are described as socially engaged and able to form friendships quickly. On-site physical and occupational therapy, transportation to shopping and medical appointments, and assistance with doctors’ visits and medication management are also noted as conveniences that enhance daily life and care continuity.

    Staff and care quality receive predominantly favorable comments. Numerous reviews call out attentive, compassionate, professional and responsive staff and nursing teams, praising their support through COVID-19 and noting effective communication with families. Several accounts describe a family-like atmosphere and report that residents thrive, feel safer, and reduce family stress after moving in. COVID-related safety measures and responsiveness were specifically praised by multiple reviewers.

    However, there are significant negative patterns and isolated but serious allegations that contrast with many of the positive reports. A subset of reviewers claim that Terrace at Beverwyck does not provide true Assisted Living services and that actual services fall below assisted living standards; these reviewers report staff shortages, low morale, unfilled direct care positions, and aides on medical leave. There are also allegations of mistreatment of family members by staff in rare instances. A noteworthy operational concern raised by some reviewers is that the same administrator oversees both the assisted living community and an adjacent nursing home, producing perceptions — or reports — of a conflict of interest and an active push to transfer residents from the assisted living setting to the nursing home. Several reviewers felt the community has declined compared with an earlier, more positive experience.

    Other practical concerns appear intermittently: difficulty getting on the waiting list, limited or unclear information about programs, reports of tight dining-room spacing, at least one mention of inadequate generator/backup power coverage, and concerns about falls and slow healing for older residents. Some reviewers also noted restrictive rules. Importantly, many negative points are confined to a minority of reports while the majority remain very positive; nevertheless these issues are material for decision-making because they relate to safety, staffing, transparency and long-term care transitions.

    Recommendation for prospective families: visit in person; observe mealtimes and activities; talk with current residents and families; ask directly about staffing levels (including direct care aide coverage and vacancy rates), turnover and staff morale; request written policies on transfers to the nursing home and any financial or administrative links between the assisted living and the adjacent nursing home; verify backup power/generator coverage; ask about fall prevention and post-fall care protocols; and request up-to-date program schedules and waitlist procedures. The preponderance of reviews praise the food, social life, therapy services and the caring nature of staff, but the serious operational and staffing concerns raised by some reviewers warrant targeted questions so families can make an informed choice.

    Terrace At Beverwyck sits in a calm setting and has a warm, home-like feel, where residents find both independence and help when they need it, with one- and two-bedroom apartments, as well as two-bedroom cottages, all with fully equipped kitchens and hard surface floors, and each has its own heating and air conditioning controls so residents stay comfortable year-round. There are so many spaces to sit and visit, like the Beverwyck Cafe for light meals or coffee, the Normanskill Dining Room for daily dinner, and a private dining room when family or friends come by, and there's also a well-stocked library, an inviting art studio, a computer lab, and places for group activities or quiet time, like the wellness center, indoor aquatic center, and the terrace lounge. A full calendar of organized activities, educational programs, entertainment, and social clubs keeps people busy, and for those who enjoy the garden, there's community gardening space too, while garden enthusiasts get a chance to dig in the dirt and enjoy the outdoors.

    Licensed nursing staff stay on site around the clock, and all apartments connect to emergency call systems, so someone's always close by for safety, and weekly health checks, safety checks, and wellness plans make sure care matches each resident's changing needs.

Terrace At Beverwyck offers respite care for folks needing short-term stays, with a minimum stay of fourteen days and a maximum of seventeen weeks, so caregivers can rest or if someone needs to recover after an illness or hospital stay.

    Meals are chef-prepared with options for formal or casual dining, and breakfast and lunch at the cafe come with friendly faces, while dinner gets served in the Normanskill Dining Room every evening, so residents don't have to worry about cooking or grocery shopping. Housekeeping, laundry, fresh towel and linen services, and daily bed making keep apartments clean and comfortable, and property taxes, maintenance, all utilities, Wi-Fi, digital cable, as well as local and long-distance telephone, are included, so residents won't juggle bills each month.

    Getting around's easy with scheduled transportation for shopping, appointments, or outings, and there are guest suites if family wants to stay overnight.
