I visited Signature Senior Living down on Foster, but that is assisted living. I like it. It's good for people that need assistance, but right now, we don't need that assistance. They're very nice. The workers were great, but it's not for us. Everything was wonderful. I dealt with Rebecca and she was terrific. It was a very good experience. Everything was nice and clean. The staff I met was wonderful, especially Rebecca who was my interviewer, and she's the one that gave us a tour of the place.

The facilities at Signature Senior Living were pretty clean, and the location is nice. It's in the middle of Brooklyn by the Ocean Parkway, so it's within walking distance of all the transportation and lots of stores. It has a promenade where a person can actually walk up and down, and there's a bench where you can relax. They have a backyard, too, where they do some exercises. The food is good, and the room is nice and roomy with two people in it. They offer a TV and a refrigerator, and they have a bathroom in the room. All the staff is nice, and all the people I spoke to were friendly. The facility itself is nice. It's pretty roomy, it has a place for them to stay outside, and it has a place for them to do something inside. They also take them places if they want. They're taking care of them and they try to keep them busy.

My uncle has moved into Signature Senior living, and it's good so far. The staff members are caring, and the facility seems clean. They can walk around, they are free to go, it doesn't feel like a jail cell, and the atmosphere is beautiful. They have a barber shop, and they have physical therapy, and that's about it. You can visit at any time and you don't have to schedule. You can visit them, you can call them at any moment to check on a family member. They have more freedom, and the people there seem nice. My uncle hasn't complained about the food yet, so that's good. The staff is very cooperative.

We're very happy with Signature Senior Living, and my sister is happy with it as well. They have bingo, exercise classes, and a lot of activities in the afternoon. She seems happy with the food. The dining area is very nice, and they have table numbers, so everyone knows who is sitting where. She does everything for herself except they give her her medications. If she needs assistance, she can call and they will do whatever she asks.

I didn't like anything about Signature Senior Living. The staff wasn't accommodating at all. I didn't like the menu, too. I didn't like the place. The staff wasn't very nice or hospitable. I didn't think the place was well maintained at all. It wasn't that clean either.

I visited Signature Senior Living. It was awful and very chaotic. The person at the front desk was answering the phone while feeding a patient at the same time. Somebody from the dining room came out and told her that a patient was in distress, but she didn't do anything. It wasn't a clean place and it didn't impress me. I didn't think it was attractive at all.

Signature Senior Living is a nice-looking community. I saw the dining area, reception area, the rooms, and the recreation areas outside. The rooms they showed me were nice. There were a couple dressers, and the bathroom was clean and coordinated. The staff member that acknowledged me gave me a good tour and didn't keep me waiting for a long time. It looks like they have things to keep the residents busy like entertainment, movie nights, and so on.

Signature Senior Living was the best one of all I visited. The people there were extremely clean and seemed to be well cared for. The place and the rooms were clean and very nicely laid out. The location was a bit far from where I live. The bathrooms were clean.

The ratio of staff to patient was good. The facilities were very nice. They had different types of activities for the residents. They had a very nice dining room. It seemed like a very secure place; it did have security in place. The rooms were very nice.

Signature Senior Living is a very nice place. It is clean and small but the people are very nice. Mom has a private room. They have everything one needs like a hotel. They have a synagogue. They have exercises, movies, and live entertainments on Sundays. They always have something to do the entire day everyday. The facility is Kosher and they have a rabbi on site. They also serve Kosher meals.

I really didn’t like Signature Senior Living at all; it gave me a very bad feeling. It was a very big, open space, but everyone was facing the TV. The activity room was a small, crowded, linoleum-floored room. Even though it was an activity room, they were all just set up in front of the TV. It wasn’t arranged so people could have a discussion group. There were some perfectly well individuals staying there all huddled outside in this one outdoor space. They could have rearranged their space in a way for people to interact.

Signature Senior Living was quite nice. They didn’t have many amenities, but the dining room was pleasant. The rooms were nice, but small. They have studios and shared room options. The people were very friendly.

My mother-in-law has already been placed at Signature Senior Living. They're very friendly and they've got planned activities. The apartments look more like a hotel room. It's not the largest one that we've seen, but it's very nice. They're very accessible, and it's very easy to get a hold of her. The dining room is set up like a cafeteria. She seems to like the place quite a bit. They go to a show or an outdoor event once a month, and at least every day there's a community-involvement event.

Signature Senior Living is a good facility, and we love it. The food is OK. The people working here is very nice. My impression of the place is positive. The surrounding is fine. The only negative I have for them is that we have to pay for a full month even though we just came for a couple of weeks. However, I do recommend it.

This is good place for elderly people. The facility is clean, hallways and family rooms are cleaned and well kept. There is enough lighting in hallways. There are roomy, safe elevators with a security person attending it most of the times. The facility is secure enough; elderly can't easily live the place without being noticed. They have nice, spacious entertainment room with comfortable chairs, small separate room with large TV. There is also secure backyard where residents can sit when the weather permits. The place has large dining room. As residents say, the food is good, and enough of it. Stuff is assists as needed. Rooms are spacious, for 1 or 2 people. There are large windows in each room. Also, there is basement section when religious services are hold. They also have nursing station in basement. The only negative comment is there is some smell on the living flours, but, I believe, it is because of the nature of the place.
