Acacia Network: Casa Promesa is a residential healthcare facility in the Bronx with 108 beds for adults aged 18 and over, where skilled nursing care goes round the clock, and there's strong support for people with HIV/AIDS, memory issues like dementia, and other serious health needs, offering services in both English and Spanish so everyone can feel understood. The place runs on compassion and strong clinical care, focusing a lot on recovery and wellness, supporting folks with mental health conditions or substance use problems through help from psychiatrists, social workers, and substance abuse counselors, all working together. You'll find help for daily living like medication management, bathing, dressing, and regular health checks, plus case management and social services made to fit each person's needs, while meals come with nutrition support, and there are transportation services too.
Residents have access to physical and occupational therapy meant to keep them moving and help them stay strong and able to handle everyday tasks, and for those who need it, there's memory care and structured programs to support cognition, offered alongside arts, culture, and recreation, making some days feel lighter and encouraging community connections. The place treats everyone with dignity and respect, does what it can to make sure people can keep as much independence as possible, and tries hard to serve Hispanic/Latino people and others in the community who often get left out. Casa Promesa stands out for short-term respite care for families who need a break, as well as permanent stays with 24-hour supervision, and the care plans really do adjust for what each person needs, whether it's help with medications, eye, ear, and dental care, or even hospice care for those nearing end of life.
There are programs for older adults, but also daycare for younger children and afterschool help for youth, since Acacia Network works on building community health at every age. Folks get nutritious meals, outdoor spaces to enjoy, programs for socializing and learning, and support with housing, from affordable apartments to transitional living, aiming to keep everyone safe and cared for while they work on getting better. The team responds to things like COVID-19 and other health challenges, helps people find jobs, and makes sure everyone-whether they're aging, living with illness, or just in need of a hand-can get support in a setting that feels welcoming and respectful, no matter the circumstances.
