Bergquist Adult Home, also known as Bergquist Memorial Assisted Living Residences, sits in Gerry, NY about seven miles from Jamestown. This adult home has both assisted living and independent living options, letting seniors pick what suits them. The building has 32 beds, making it a medium-sized community, and folks can choose between studio and suite layouts, all furnished and ready to move in. Around the clock, trained staff watch over residents, so there's always help with medication, bathing, getting dressed, transfers, and other daily needs like laundry and housekeeping. The staff also manage medications very carefully, and residents have access to skilled nursing, memory care, and ambulatory care if needed. The building is set up with wheelchair accessible showers, tubs, and an on-site beautician, and people can bring their own dogs or cats.
Meals are prepared fresh with attention to special diets for things like allergies or diabetes, and the dining area fosters a community feel during meals. There are common rooms, an arts room, a salon, garden areas, and walking paths, and the place always has something going on, from movie nights to activities run by the residents themselves. Devotional services happen both on-site and off-site for those interested. Every resident has a 24-hour call system for emergencies. The facility stays licensed by the state and gets regular surveys from agencies like the Department of Aging or Veteran's Services. While Medicare isn't accepted unless the facility is certified for it, Bergquist Adult Home does handle long-term, non-acute care for seniors. The focus here is on providing a supportive setting where folks can keep their independence as much as possible but know they've got care and supervision whenever it's needed, and for many families, this setup brings real peace of mind.
