Artis Senior Living of Briarcliff Manor sits in a quiet neighborhood in the scenic Hudson Valley, close to The Westchester, restaurants, and shopping, and offers a peaceful spot for seniors who need memory care, assisted living, or just a helping hand as they age. The community focuses on residents living with Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia, and you're likely to see plenty of details aimed at making life simpler, like secure walking paths and a dementia-specific design spread over 10,000 square feet of safe indoor space, so folks can move about without worry. The staff is well trained, friendly, and always there-there's a licensed nurse on site around the clock and everybody from the Executive Director to the Directors of Life Enrichment and Environmental Services help keep things running smoothly and residents well cared for.
They've got assisted living services, memory care, independent living, and home care options, so whether someone needs more independence or a little more support, there's a way to get what's needed. Some residents use senior-focused cell phones, hearing aids, or internet plans-they make these things available, which can make daily life easier. The apartments, condos, and townhomes are designed for comfort, and the community allows pets. It has both indoor and outdoor common areas where people can eat, rest, or meet friends, and there's high-speed internet for those who like staying connected or keeping up with the world.
Everyday help might include medication management, escorting someone to meals and events, hands-on help with personal hygiene, showering, dressing, and bathroom needs. There's always support for things like mobility, mealtimes, and medical needs, including complex conditions like diabetes or total incontinence if they come up. Staff handles laundry, suite maintenance, housekeeping, and linens, so residents don't have to worry about chores.
Residents enjoy meals throughout the day-breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks-with menus overseen by a dietitian to keep the food both tasty and well balanced. There's a focus on social, educational, and entertainment activities, with things like music or art therapy, memory games, physical and occupational therapy on site, and even religious services both onsite and off. Activities are set up to help everyone find some joy or purpose-for example, reminiscence therapy, sensory exercises, or adaptive fitness routines for those in later stages of dementia. The staff encourages conversations and has training in dementia care and CPR, with someone always nearby to help.
Artis Senior Living of Briarcliff Manor also works with outside providers-people like pharmacists, podiatrists, psychiatrists, dentists, as well as folks from home care or hospice services. Safety features show up everywhere, including secure entryways and well-lit paths. The community holds to the philosophy of "Honoring Yesterday, Celebrating Today," aiming to help residents feel they belong and have purpose, even if memory issues are a daily challenge. Reviews often mention the warm, family feel, the helpful staff, and the personalized, attentive approach to each person.
There are structured programs using technology meant to help people with memory issues, and families or new residents can use resources like the Dementia Map if needed. The whole place is built around creating a supportive, friendly, and respectful environment, and they help with the transition to senior living. Artis Senior Living of Briarcliff Manor is licensed and follows all state regulations, and their approach centers on treating each resident with compassion, using their history, interests, and personal qualities to shape daily care.
