Vitality Living Stony Brook

We chose Atria Stony Brook because of the affordability and also they provided the services that he needed at the time. Given the covid situation, I think the staff are doing the best that they can. It has had an impact, but they are doing a great job considering the limitations. I would recommend them to others looking.

It's nice that they have their own apartments in assisted living. The washing machine is right there for them in their apartments, and they have their own outdoor areas. Housekeeping is provided. The staff have been really nice to my loved one. Activities have been a little slow due to Covid, but they're starting back up. They've had a band come in, and they've had happy hours and dancing. It took her a while to get used to it, but she's adjusting. The cost is high. Be prepared for different levels of care to be a large increase in monthly cost. But that being said, they're one of the cheapest places, especially considering she gets a whole apartment instead of just one room. And her mental health has improved tremendously since she's moved in. She doesn't need a lot of care at this point, but she gets the extra help that she needs and has the opportunity to be social. There are always people to talk to, and she can do as little or as much as she wants. That's a big plus.

The community is neat and clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They have lots of activities for the residents to participate in and the food is good too. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.
