An Excellent Place

My mother is currently a resident at Vassar-Warner Home. I cannot say enough wonderful things! It is a warm and caring environment. The staff is nothing short of amazing. They are so responsive to any of my mother's needs, all she has to do is ask. They are very good at communicating with me, which is very important as I live in a different state. My emails are responded to very quickly and phone calls are returned promptly. I highly recommend Vassar-Warner Home to anyone looking for an assisted living facility.

Best Kept Secret

I never knew about Vassar Warner until I called APFM. This was all new to me and I had no help and no clue. Then APFM told me about this quaint, very personal home and I called immediately. My mom didn’t want those huge campuses and overly showy places. She wanted an elegant, homey, low key place where everyone would know her, her needs and she’d develop true personal relationships with the staff. Vassar Warner ticked every box for us. This is the warmest, friendliest, uber efficient home I’ve ever seen. They are d…

Everything I was looking for!

My mother has been at Vassar-Warner for [date removed], and I must say, she's doing very well. The food is good and she is finally eating healthy meals. There are activities all day long. Most important, the staff is caring, helpful and kind. Mom has no complaints!

Vassar Warner Home, A Caring and Safe Place for Our Mother

My mother has been a resident of Vassar Warner for [date removed], and we can't say enough about the staff and the care that she gets. It has been a tough couple of years with COVID, but they have done the utmost to keep the residents safe and families informed and updated on the latest protocol. They've arranged for zoom calls and restricted visits. We were even able to have a "COVID" 95th birthday celebration for her last year. We decorated the balcony, had cake and party favors and even played some of her favori…
