Danforth Adult Care Center offers adult care in a home-like setting, giving adults over 55 a place where they can get the support they need but also live as independently as possible, and you know, everyone there seems to become like family as time passes. They have staff around all day and night, including Registered Nurses, Home Health Aides, and Personal Care Aides, who help with medication, personal grooming, bathing, toileting, moving around, and things like eating, and then they do keep a pretty close watch with a high staff-to-resident ratio. The center is licensed by the New York State Department of Health, including nursing services through a Licensed Home Care Services Agency, which gives families a bit more peace of mind. For folks who might wander or just need a bit more supervision, the building has a state-of-the-art security system with alarmed doors and a 24-hour call bell system so residents can get help whenever they need it. There's dementia care, incontinence care, and careful nutritional management with doctor-prescribed diets, plus three home-cooked meals a day, daily snacks, and a menu that can handle all sorts of dietary needs, including allergies and diabetes.
Residents get furnished rooms, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, cable TV, phones, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and there's transportation and parking if you need to head out somewhere. The housekeepers take care of cleaning and laundry every day, and a beautician comes by so residents can get their hair done. The staff helps with moving in and will sit down with residents, day clients, and their families to adjust care as needs change, and there's a resident council where folks can share their thoughts. The staff keeps things running smoothly but they also work hard to make it feel like home, and there's always someone looking out for you.
Danforth has all sorts of activities and ways to keep busy-exercise classes, art and crafts, barbecues in the summer, board games, games room, movie theater, outings, religious services, intergenerational get-togethers, and even music performances. There's a wellness room, a spa, outdoor walking paths, a pleasant garden, organized events, and resident-run clubs, so there's less time to feel idle. Meals are served in a dining room with table service and plenty of choices, and you'll find a professional chef there most days.
This community can set up respite stays or day services for adults who only need short-term help, but it also serves those needing more permanent support. Danforth Adult Care Center aims to offer care and activities tailored to individual needs in a cozy and secure environment, and they do focus on welcoming everyone as part of the broader community.
