Queens Estate is a wonderful memory care community for my grandpa. He has dementia and ongoing delusions, but the staff meet him where he is with so much love, patience, compassion, and respect. It gives our family great peace of mind knowing he is genuinely cared for and treated with kindness every day. One thing we really appreciate is that residents have a safe environment where they can move around freely, socialize, and interact with others without feeling confined to a single floor. It helps them maintain a sense of independence while still being safe. There are always engaging daily activities, along with special monthly events that family members can join, giving residents and their families something to look forward to and helping them stay active and connected. The nurses, PSWs, and all of the staff are incredible. They work so hard to care for each resident while still making time for meaningful one-on-one interactions that truly make a difference. Agnes Sztaba and her team have been amazing to work with. There simply isn't enough room to recognize every staff member who has made such a positive impact, but every person we've encountered has shown genuine compassion, professionalism, and dedication. We are very grateful for the care my grandpa receives at Queens Estate and would highly recommend it to families looking for a compassionate memory care community.

My mother has been there a year and a half, the staff are very friendly, considerate, patient and responsive; the facilities are well maintained. As a visitor I always feel welcomed. I get regular updates on my mothers condition and suggestions about her treatments. I'm thankful for their support.

So grateful for the attention and care that is shown to my grandmother here. This place is an extension of my family and the relief I feel knowing she is not only safe but loved is not measurable. Thank you to the entire staff of the queens estate
