Summit at Glenwyck sits on 15 wooded acres in Glenville, New York, overlooking views of the Helderbergs, and the whole place feels peaceful, with trees all around and a location close to historic downtown Schenectady, so people living there have some pleasant scenery and a sense of space. The community offers all sorts of living options-including independent living, assisted living, retirement communities, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, continuing care, nursing home services, and even home care and respite care. Seniors 55 and older can pick from one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments, all with things like full-size washers and dryers, dishwashers, built-in microwaves, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, maple cabinets, ample closet space, and either a balcony or patio to sit out on. Every residence has high-speed internet, cable, and a 24-hour emergency call system, plus options for garage parking and handicap accessible features for folks who need them.
The community runs several unique programs, like the Senior Engaged Life program, designed to keep people active, social, and learning with activities such as yoga, exercise classes, educational sessions, art classes, and all kinds of social events, including potlucks organized by residents themselves, which gets neighbors together and builds friendships. The Connected Life program ties health, leisure, and learning into daily schedules, giving everyone different options. There's a big clubhouse with a sauna, indoor pool, hot tub, tavern, and a fitness room for exercise, plus a spa and wellness room for relaxing. People can settle into the library, spend time in the game room, or catch a movie in the theater. Community rooms have fireplaces and sitting spots which folks use to gather or read quietly. There's community dining with chef-prepared, healthy meals, and private apartments are close enough to the shared amenities that it's never a long walk. Walking paths and community gardens let people get outdoors, and pets are welcome with a few restrictions.
