The Providence Senior Living provides a range of care and housing for older adults and is rooted in the Capital Region of New York, inspired by the legacy of the Daughters of Charity. The community uses different names at each location, like The Providence Senior Living, Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker, and Summit at Eastwyck, and each offers different levels of support. There's independent living for folks who want to enjoy freedom from home upkeep and take part in community activities, with meal service in dining rooms or cafés, housekeeping, laundry, and lawn and snow care, and they upgrade the residences with new flooring, counters, cabinets, and kitchen appliances when needed, making the spaces as comfortable as possible. The suites come in different sizes-there are studio, semi-private, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, most with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning.
For those who need extra help, assisted living is available with support for daily activities like getting dressed, grooming, taking medicine, and eating, and there's always someone around because of 24-hour supervision and a call system for emergencies, and the staff is ready to help with non-ambulatory care for those who need it. The community also runs memory care units for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with 24-hour support, secure spaces to prevent wandering, and programs designed to support memory and ease anxiety. If someone has been in the hospital because of a surgery or illness and needs skilled nursing, there's round-the-clock medical help, wound care, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. Residents who've chosen the continuing care retirement community setup, often called Life Plan, can age in place and get more help as they need it, which means they don't have to move if health needs change, and there's an option for respite care to give family caregivers a break.
The atmosphere feels lively and focuses on wellness-with a fitness center, spa, library, game room, music and arts spaces, chapel, cinema with stadium-style seats, and walking paths overlooking the Catskill Mountains. There's a calendar full of activities, a beauty salon, business room, under-building parking, and an on-site general store. Residents can join interfaith services, enjoy outdoor courtyards, and participate in programs led by staff and other residents. Meals can be tailored for special diets like diabetes or allergies and are available all day, with both formal and private dining rooms. There's also board and care homes located right in residential neighborhoods-these are smaller and feel more like a family setting, caring for a handful of residents at a time.
Everything focuses on safety and comfort, with an emergency alert system, regular maintenance, and secure environments, especially for those in memory care. The website is designed so people with disabilities can easily use it and gives clear ways to send feedback about any accessibility issues, following Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA standards, and there's a dedicated accessibility coordinator and regular reviews to keep the site working well for everyone. The Providence Senior Living honors the spirit of its residents, aiming for a balance between respect for the past, comfort in the present, and support for whatever may come next, blending different levels of care-from independent living to nursing-for adults as their needs or health change, all within a community that's built to feel safe, supportive, and as much like home as possible.
