Pleasant View home for Adults

Pleasant View home for Adults, located at 70 Massachusetts Ave in Bay Shore, NY, is a board and care home that helps adults who need support with daily living, memory care, or short-term respite stays, giving them a safe place in a small community setting where each person lives with up to six other adults in a residential neighborhood, and the staff are licensed, trained in first aid and CPR, and known for being kind and helpful, creating a warm, home-like atmosphere. The facility serves adults who need help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, meals-including vegetarian options-and personal hygiene, and the housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and special diets are all part of daily care. Everyday life at Pleasant View feels familiar and comfortable, with residents having private bedrooms and private bathrooms with bath tubs, wheelchair accessible features including showers, and both indoor and outdoor common areas for socializing, group activities, or quiet relaxation, and small pets are allowed if residents wish to bring them. Certified nursing staff meet minor and infrequent medical issues on site, like first aid for wounds, and a nurse, a doctor, and a dentist can be called for more care if needed, but this isn't a full nursing facility, more a place focused on supervision and help with non-medical needs, although they have special support for diabetes, incontinence, high acuity, and medication management. For people with Alzheimer's or dementia, specialized memory care services are part of the offerings, which include dedicated, secure suites, 24-hour staff support, memory-enhancing programs, and activities designed to keep minds active while also reducing confusion and helping prevent wandering, and the atmosphere's calm and nurturing, with attention to each person's needs. There's a focus on keeping everybody engaged and uplifted, so the staff plan social activities like movies, yoga, picnics, outings, dining trips, on-site and off-site devotional events, and even annual cookouts where family and residents gather, and extra options can include holiday events with some extra charge. The place is wheelchair accessible throughout, provides transportation and parking for residents or visitors, and meets state inspection and licensing by New York's Division of Social Service. Pleasant View home for Adults aims to help people live with dignity, comfort, and safety, whether someone's staying for a short break or for the long term, and the small community and family-style setting make it easier for residents and staff to know one another well, making life a bit steadier for those facing memory loss or the challenges of growing older.
