I enthusiastically recommend The Hearth on James! When I first walked in the door for my tour, I was greeted by [name removed] at the desk, Christmas Carol's and engaged residents in the parlor for morning exercises. I felt welcome immediately! I knew the smaller setting and friendly, active residents and staff, offered the very sense of community that my uncle would enjoy. This would be his new home after leaving NJ to be closer to our family in Central NY. Since he moved in, he has had great care, met other residents and joined in the activities. Staff has been helpful getting him involved and meeting others. The nursing staff has contacted me a couple of times with concerns that we were able to solve together...communication both ways is terrific. My uncle loves the food and I don't have to worry that he's not eating balanced and with good nutrition.

Very kind and compassionate care
They are easy to work with, they were kind. They helped us through some difficult choices. My mom didn't end up staying there very long, but they were always willing to assist. They were constantly giving feedback. Overall, a very good group of people.

Visit More Than One
I would recommend you look at a lot of different communities and not to make a decision right off the bat. I believe they have promised more than they have delivered to my loved one. They are going through an enormous amount of staff turnover. The reviews from 2016 and 2017 were wonderful about this community. The community is in the city and there is a lot of city noise. The building is lovely, and they keep up the landscaping. They really do the best they can. The highest nurse level they have is LPN, there are no RNs on the assisted living side. They are kind to the residents and families.

We toured The Hearth on James and loved this facility. The only reason we did not choose it was because of the location, it is in the city and my mom wanders.

My brothers experience with this community
The cleanliness of the community was very good, and we thought it was a very nice and safe community. The residents seemed very friendly and we didn't see anybody that was really sick or loud or disturbing to others. We would recommend this community. Our loved one did fall a couple and unfortunately had to be transferred to a new community.

Overall good community
During COVID we have to commend the staff members for being conscientiousness and follow protocol, however we do have two issues that we aren't happy with. The first one, is they are providing outside visits, but we sit at a table in the parking lot with no sun protection. Even if its cold, hot, or raining we have to sit outside on those tables. There is no plan on having the visits indoors with the weather changing. The other thing is, they send our weekly newsletters to the families stating everyone is still COVID free, but with those newsletters they are trying to sell us their cleaning services which is frustrating. However, besides these two things the community is great, its kept very clean and the staff is very professional. The staff is very friendly, and go out of there way to help us out. We did have an interaction with the front desk lady when we came to visit and she was quite snippy with us, but we do feel that our in-laws are at a safe place. They do complain about the food, they say it is not good at all. They are on the second dinner shift where by that point the tend to run out of a lot of items. During Lent they were very excited to eat the fish on Friday's but by the time it was their turn to be served the fish was already gone.

Let the buyer beware
My husband wasn't at The Hearth on James. He was scheduled to go to Keepsake Village from a hospital setting. They took a $500 processing fee, a security deposit, and the first month's rent. Meanwhile, my husband needed a catheter so they could not accept him as a resident. He never set foot in Keepsake Village yet they kept over a month's worth of rent because the room was reserved for him. They should have given the room to the next one on the waiting list because they knew he wasn't moving in. I lost thousands of dollars & my husband died shortly thereafter.

This is a medium sized retirement, independent living facility, with lots of personal attention, beautiful furnishings and lovely staff. The food at lunch was terrific!! The activities offered are varied and fun. The local ownership is a plus for assuring quality. I will consider it when I decide to move out of my home. Very nice floor plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Hearth on James

The Hearth on James offers Studio and 1 Bedroom. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Hearth on James 8.4 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
