I must say that Tamara Brade has been nothing short of amazing. Dealing with her is like dealing with an extended family member that cares about your loved one! From inception to completion, Tamara was there every step of the way. These transitions are hard enough but Tamara tireless work ethic makes you feel at ease!
I honestly don’t know where to start so I’ll start in the beginning. My mom is 85 years old and about a year and a half ago started to show different types of memory loss and other issues. After going to a neurologist, it was confirmed that my mother had dementia. I was completely confused as to what to do because my mother was living at home by herself, we were able to get her an aid for six hours a day, which was nearly not enough. As the disease progressed, it came to the point where she would like to go out at night for a walk by herself and it became too dangerous. After shopping around looking for different assisted living places, we have gone to many in Brooklyn, New York and a few in Staten Island, New York I was not impressed with any of them as soon as I walked into a few of them the residents were all saying don’t come here don’t come here. When I called the veranda assisted living on Staten Island I was transferred to a young lady named Tamara Brade. Let me just say that she went above and beyond what anybody could’ve even imagined to help me in the situation that I was to be able to get my mother in there quickly. Always available by phone.
Had it not been for Tamara‘s help and knowledge and and just genuine care I never would’ve been able to get through what I did with my mom. She made it so easy. Everything she said was exactly as she said was gonna be my mom is now in the memory care unit, which is on the seventh floor. The entire memory care unit is brand new and looks like a five star hotel. my mom has been there now for a while loves the people there as for the employees they’re all top-notch staff. Everybody just goes above and beyond. Everybody is always smiling and never see a negative face from anyone there. Ask for the coordinator of the memory care unit. Her name is Laura West. I get daily reviews daily videos FaceTime text messages from her all day telling me how all my mother is doing everything. My mother is doing any issue. I have that I ask her gets addressed immediately. As far as personality there are very few people that I know that have that type of amazing personality as this Tamara for that matter as well, I don’t think they seem to hire anybody unless they have an amazing personality there. Laura has gone above and beyond to help my mother with everything she’s made it so easy and so smooth for my mother to be able to live and be happy. The rooms are beautiful. The dining room is beautiful. The decor is first class. The employees in the memory care unit every single one of them is just Superb. If anyone is in need of taking their loved one to a place where they’re going to feel secure and you should look into the veranda assisted living speak to Tamara speak to Laura. You’re gonna fall in love with them just like I did. Ask for me since my mom has been in there. I have calmed down. I was a nervous wreck for the longest time always worried about whether she was gonna go out for a walk and get hurt or get lost. Now I can rest easy sleep easy I gotta visit my mother three times a week. They never tell me all you have to leave or you can’t come at this time or you can’t come at that time. The door is always open for you to come and visit and the staff will go above and beyond to help you with any needs that you have. My mom‘s name is Hannah and she is in room 70 one which is on the seventh floor a note to Tamara and Laura I love you guys. Thank you so much for everything you have done for my family.!
Staff is great, always helpful.
When I was looking for assisted living I was very happy with the facility. It’s clean & modern. Tamara made this an easy transition for my grandmother. She was helpful in every step of the way and made this easy for both of us.
