Atria on Roslyn Harbor sits on the waterfront at 100 Landing Rd in Roslyn, New York, inside a large, multi-story building designed by architect Robert A.M. Stern, and you can tell it gives you these lovely views of the harbor, fountains, and the five-acre promenade that has three freshwater ponds, nice landscaped grounds, and walking paths, and you might see folks on the outdoor patios or in the gardens with their pets since the place is pet-friendly. They set up their homes for independent older adults who want to keep active, stay social, and let go of chores like housekeeping, laundry, and home maintenance-with age-restricted apartments ranging from studios up to three bedrooms, some with private balconies or patios looking out over the harbor, and it seems like every apartment comes with its own comfort and privacy. The community doesn't allow smoking inside, whether you're in your own home or in the common areas, so the air stays clean, and you won't find buy-in fees here; the leases go month-to-month, so many folks like that flexibility.
People here can take part in structured activity programs that are meant to help with socialization, learning, and entertainment, and you'll find activity rooms, libraries with big bookshelves, computer labs, even art classes and book clubs, plus a fitness center that has senior-specific wellness equipment and offers personalized wellness programs and yoga classes. Folks enjoy common areas with fireplaces and comfy leather seating, and they can stop by the full-service dining room or the bistro for meals cooked by a chef, take a seat for wine and cheese parties, happy hours, card games, or listen to guest speakers and join educational seminars. There's always something on the calendar with the Engage Life® program, with events like Casino Royale or Page Turners for book lovers, and if you like being outside, there's a courtyard grill with a harbor view and a tennis court, a swimming pool, and even a golf course.
The community recognizes that people have different faiths, so you'll see both onsite and offsite religious and spiritual services, and there's an effort to keep everyone included with things like group outings and social events with hors d'oeuvres. Residents who need extra help can use services from third-party providers, like Caring People™, who have a kiosk onsite to support things like bathing, personal care, medication reminders, and escorting residents to appointments, and residents can set up their own care plans according to what they want or need, and pay just for those services, not everything across the board. There's nursing staff, a podiatrist, and access to physical and occupational therapies, plus discreet home care and wellness support, and emergency response systems and trained staff around the clock, many of whom have stayed more than 20 years, so there's a lot of knowledge and familiarity with residents.
For anyone who's worried about getting out and about, transportation's available, both for personal appointments and group outings, so staying active in the larger community's simple, and guests coming to visit can find guest accommodations and parking. Residents stay busy with walking clubs, adult day care programs, happy hour events, and a variety of spiritual, educational, and cultural activities, and can even work with caregivers they already know and trust if they like. The property takes health and safety seriously with emergency response plans for severe weather or contagious illness, and life inside tries to balance independence with support, so you don't have to give up your hobbies, comfort, or peace of mind to live here.
