We offer the New York State Assisted Living Program (ALP): This program is certified by the New York State Department of Health to provide Medicaid-funded home care services. The ALP is an alternative to nursing home that enables nursing home eligible residents to receive home health care services in the Adult Home, delaying or preventing the need for admission to a nursi ng home. Care services are provided by an on-site licensed home care agency and a community certified home health agency (CHHA) under contract. At Hedgewood HFA/ ALP, we work hard to ensure an independent living environment, where everyone can thrive and succeed. We offer just the right amount of assistance tailored to each resident’s individual needs, enabling each person to live in the most independent and least restrictive environment.

When I visited Hedgewood Home for Adults, it seemed there was not that much staff around taking care of people. It just wasn't the right place for my mother. The staff who assisted me was very friendly, she was very thorough with the tour, as far as that goes. The dining facility looked pretty nice. They had the tables set up nicely. The dining facility was probably the highlight of the place as far as I'm concerned. After looking at it, that was the only thing that impressed me. Even where my mom's at now is nicer, and way better for her than they would be. The lady who showed us around was certainly helpful, very nice, and was willing to help us out with getting my mother in there if that was the way we were going to go. She was very nice and very helpful. It wasn't her in general. It was just the facility itself and the people there. I don't want to trash the place because I'm sure it's okay for certain people, but it just wasn't right for us.

I am a local business and have filed numerous complaints regarding the residents of this facility. One resident has set up a sleeping bag behind our building and I have security footage of him arriving at 12:30am to spend the night. He is there in rain or shine and I fear for him as the weather gets colder. Another resident came with his walker and in hospital garb and sat outside yelling at customers. I called the police and they said they are getting 3-4 calls a week lately. I have filed with Department of Health and called the Justice Center as well. I am at the end of my rope with paying to clean up the mess these residents leave. How bad must the conditions be, if they prefer to sleep on the streets! Clean up your facility and treat these people with dignity.

To be honest, Hedgewood is a sort of local joke amongst the residents of Beacon. The stigma surrounding it outweighs any positives. The center allows for mentally ill individuals to basically roam free on the streets, urinating in public places and disrupting local businesses on a constant basis. The residents have been found sleeping on people's front lawns, and in their basements. Some individuals have been known to rant to invisible listeners about flying saucers and alien abductions. Others yell obscenities at children on their way home from school. It is a shame that these individuals are not receiving the treatment they deserve or need. When I visited the site, I realized that the inside was just as bad as expected. The facility is run-down, with little staff attention given to residents. The food looks awful (I did not taste it, fortunately), and the living quarters are depressing. In all honesty, I don't understand why this place isn't shut down. The grounds are in severe need of maintenance, and the whole place has an odd odor. I wouldn't wish a stay here on my worst enemy.
