The Mansion at South Union sits on seven quiet acres in Cambridge, NY, and offers a mix of assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, and continued care retirement community (CCRC) options, so most folks can find what they need there, whether it's help with daily tasks, support for memory issues, or a place to call their own as they age. The building is a well-kept older mansion with both indoor and outdoor common areas, including a large garden, walking paths, and sitting spots that look out over streams, so residents can spend time outdoors or relax indoors with cable TV, Wi-Fi, or a good book from the small library. Housecleaning and laundry services help keep things in order, while the kitchen staff prepares meals with attention to special diets like diabetic care or allergies, and the dining room offers restaurant-style seating, so meals feel social and comfortable for residents, who can have snacks or meals throughout the day depending on their needs.
There are many activities every day, and residents often help run things themselves, or join in on social, creative, or devotional events, since spiritual support is available with on-site and off-site devotional services. Staff includes nurses, a doctor on call, dentists, and therapists-there's help for things like incontinence care and medication management, plus mobility help with bathing, dressing, and transfers, and a 24-hour call system with full supervision, so even folks with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia get the support they need in a safe and secure setting. The beauty salon and barber shop help with grooming, there's wheelchair accessible showers, and rooms come furnished with views and comforts for daily living.
Residents can keep some of their independence thanks to personalized care plans, aging in place options, and plenty of social and wellness programs that aim to keep everyone mentally and physically engaged, which means there are always ways to socialize, be active, or find quiet time, whether in the arts room, gardens, or just walking around the grounds. The facility accepts both men and women, is pet friendly, and has a no-smoking policy indoors. They allow both long-term stays and shorter respite stays. Staff offers complimentary transportation and on-site parking, so doctor visits and outings are easier.
