Assisted Living at Laurel Place in Hudson

“Deciding where my mother would reside after she fell ill and could no longer care for herself, was an easy decision.   Fairview Rehab and Nursing Home have been near and dear to my family’s heart for many years.  The facility was my Aunt’s home for over 12 years as well as where my father rehabbed after a near fatal infection.   We chose Laurel Place for my mother’s new residence.  It was truly her home for the last two years of her life.  We cannot say enough about every aspect of the facility.  The Executive Director and Activities Director are exceptional at caring for the elderly.  It is not just a job to them, but rather an extension of their lives.  The extraordinary care does not end with them.  Every nurse, nurse’s aide, kitchen and cleaning employee, and maintenance worker show the residents the utmost care and compassion.  My mother sincerely loved every person she came in contact with.  A home is not a home without the love of those in it and Mom received that at Laurel Place.”

“My mother-in-law has been at Laurel Place for almost two years and it has consistently exceeded my expectations.  It is a small, close-knit community with a warm, welcoming aura and a high consistency of caregivers with little turnover.  Their staff are some of the most caring individuals I have ever encountered.  Every day they go out of their way to understand my mother-in-law’s needs and meet them almost immediately.  The activities coordinator is extraordinarily creative; she keeps residents engaged constantly via live music, games, arts, crafts, parties, discussions, and much more.  The facility and its grounds are meticulously maintained and the meals are excellent.”

“My mother was admitted to Fairview for rehabilitation after a short hospital stay; when her time was done at rehab, she still was not able to go home safely so we met with the director of Laurel Place and decided to try a respite stay until we could figure out her next move.  We visited four other assisted living residences, as well as contacting a home health agency, trying to figure out something closer to family, but decided to keep mom at Laurel Place due to the excellent care she has been receiving.  This is a difficult and unanticipated decision to make, and the staff at Laurel Place have been wonderful as we worked through this process to find the right place to meet mom’s needs.”

“This is my 4th year as a resident of Laurel Place.  The best praise I can think of is this……..If I had known how wonderful life could be in my senior years, I would have sold my house and moved in here 10 years earlier!

Let me tell you why….I have never met such kind, caring, available staff in my 87 years.  Privacy is the utmost concern.  No one pressures you to do anything you are not comfortable with.  You can join the many social activities or not.  I choose to read, watch old movies and am addicted to Sudoku.

My apartment has a patio outside my door where I sit and enjoy the peace, quiet and good weather and water my plants.  Also, there is a sidewalk around the campus to enjoy the beautiful landscaping which is groomed weekly.

We have a lovely dining room that serves 3 meals daily or we can choose room service.  Our menu is changed weekly with a choice of 2 entrees and homemade desserts by our chef.

Physical therapy is on the same floor and easily available with a great team of therapists.

Nursing care is “par excellence”, working hand-in-hand with physician’s assistants and doctors from the local hospitals.  Nurses deliver our medication as needed and are just a call button away.  There is ample opportunities to mention pain or discomfort.

Did I mention we even have a hairdresser salon, where we can visit weekly.

Once a month we have a Resident Council Meeting where we can voice our concerns and ideas.  But, if you have an immediate concern, you can go directly to the Executive Director whose office is right on the floor.  She is always available and she gets it the 1st time, no need of long explanation.

The one thing that stands out above all is the compassionate, benevolent, sensitive attitude that surrounds us here in Laurel Place.”

“My dad was so happy at Laurel Place!  He had been in his own home

( one that he built) for over 60 years.  Thus, we, as his family were a bit anxious about moving him to an assisted living facility. Laurel allowed him to experience the joy of activities, making new friends and some amount of independence. The staff from dietary to nursing to facilities to activities to management were beyond compare. They were all caring and competent.  Quite often he would say ” you girls picked a good place” as he smiled a broad and cheerful grin.  We did a considerable amount of  research before choosing Laurel Place. This was the best and he loved it.”
