Massry Assisted Living Residence sits in Westmere, NY, at 182 Washington Ave Ext, operating as part of the Daughters of Sarah Community for Seniors, which carries a long tradition of senior care for 75 years. The residence centers itself on Jewish traditions and values, preparing kosher meals in a restaurant-style dining room, holding on-site religious services, and fostering a community that welcomes people of all cultures and faiths, believing in honoring elders and acts of kindness. Residents live in private, unfurnished one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments with their own bathrooms, choosing to bring in their own belongings to feel at home, and some enjoy views and access to outdoor gardens, patios, and walking paths where they can relax or socialize. The building has cozy lounges, a refreshment café, bistro, activity rooms, spaces for arts and crafts, a cooking club, discussion groups, movie nights, live music, community and resident-run events, and a computer and small library area for personal use, which really lets people keep up with hobbies or learn something new.
The staff, made up of well-trained and friendly people under registered nurse supervision, offer help around the clock with personal care, medication management, transfers, and all the basic needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, or using a wheelchair. The facility holds an enhanced assisted living license, meaning the team can provide more medical help than most assisted livings, handling things like oxygen management, catheter care, PRN medication, wound dressing, and other specialized medical tasks, all so residents can stay as their health changes over time. Massry also offers respite care and memory enhancement programs when needed. There's a beauty salon, a spa, an in-house barber, a gym, and even a convenience store, which help keep daily life comfortable and straightforward.
Meals are served daily with many choices, always mindful of special diets for diabetes or other health needs, and always keeping things kosher, with daily specials in the main dining room. Community transportation and concierge services help residents get around to activities or appointments, and all apartments come wired for cable and with access to computers for staying in touch or for entertainment. Activities are set up every day to encourage people to socialize, keep their bodies moving, or keep their minds busy, including fitness classes, yoga and chair yoga, music groups, Mah Jongg and Bridge games, book clubs, exercise classes, and holiday celebrations. There's help with housekeeping, linen service, meal prep, and those little things that make life smoother. Residents are encouraged to make friends and connect, with staff supporting everyone's social, mental, and physical well-being, making sure every person finds a dignified environment with opportunities to stay active and engaged. The management team and board of directors watch over operations carefully, keeping things working well and safe, while the 24-hour call system and supervision give families peace of mind. Massry Assisted Living Residence is licensed by New York State and has a rating of 3.0 based on two reviews, with a focus on providing respectful, compassionate, and tailored care as part of a supportive community.
