Andrus on Hudson sits on a large, 26-acre campus that looks out over the Hudson River, which gives people lots of room to walk and gardens to enjoy, and it's been around for a long time, rooted in the tradition of the Andrus family and their focus on community and caring for one another, so the sense of connection runs deep. This nonprofit nursing home gives seniors many types of care, including skilled nursing for those who need 24-hour help, short- or long-term rehabilitation when someone needs to recover from illness or surgery, and hospice care for those near the end of life, plus there's post-hospital care and complex medical support if someone needs it. The assisted living part supports everyday things like getting dressed, bathing, taking medicine, and getting around, and they help keep everyone safe and comfortable, while their Memory Care unit looks after folks with dementia or Alzheimer's in a secure area made to cut down on confusion and wandering.
Many people talk about the fresh and balanced meals planned by chefs and dietitians, and residents get to eat in a friendly dining area, which matters quite a bit to those who value a good meal and company. There are also lots of things to do both on campus and off, whether that's painting, gardening, playing music, going out for picnics or trips, signing up for a fitness class, or joining in on workshops, lectures, or seminars where someone might learn something new or just share a little time together, and there's a creative arts studio, a game room, a library, computer center, and the usual extras like a gift shop, beauty salon, and barbershop, which help keep life busy and interesting. The common areas, both indoors and outdoors, are there for socializing or quiet moments, so people can find just the right spot whether they want company or a little peace, and it's easy to bump into a neighbor or staff member who's happy to spend a few minutes to chat.
Andrus on Hudson uses special features like the EasyBoost Repositioning System to help folks move around more easily, which is especially helpful for those with limited strength or mobility, and housekeeping and personal care help keep things tidy and residents comfortable. Transportation is available for those who need to get out to appointments or activities, so nobody has to worry about how they'll get around. The staff gets recognized often for the quality of their care and the respect they show to every resident, which is why they received a five-star rating, and they're always working to come up with new ways to support every individual, making care plans that really fit the person, not just the illness or condition, and that includes everything from fitness and nutrition to disease prevention information. There's an emphasis here on dignity and well-being, making sure that people feel heard, valued, and supported every day, whether someone is with them short-term or for many years, and the campus, with all its amenities, really feels like a place where life can go on with meaning, no matter someone's needs.
