Keene Valley Neighborhood House

Keene Valley Neighborhood House sits in the Adirondack Mountains and runs as a 501(c)3 non-profit assisted living residence, where seniors with different care needs can keep some independence while getting help as needed, and the staff, from the Community Relations Manager Holly Aquino to the CEO Richard Rothstein, really do make sure to check in on residents and talk with families often because they want the seniors to feel cared for and safe, and you'll find trained caregivers on hand for needs around the clock, all backed up by a 24-hour call system, so people who need help with bathing, dressing, medication, transfers, or daily activities can count on assistance, and there's both memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia-so they're safe from wandering and get special attention-as well as regular elder care, both offered at rates sort of geared for affordability. The place encourages friendships and community, and you'll spot residents' pets, or people taking the walking paths, relaxing in indoor common areas, joining arts sessions in the arts room, chatting over all-day restaurant-style meals in the dining room-meals are made to meet diet needs, with diabetic and allergy choices-plus there's meal prep and planning, housekeeping, laundry, Wi-Fi, furnished rooms, move-in help, and things like a barber/salon right there, beautician visits, and a garden where more social stuff happens. Residents in wheelchairs or those who need help getting around have space and care that fits them, and there's memory care to prevent confusion and offer activities that keep minds busy, while anyone wanting devotional services can arrange for trips offsite. The community lets residents run their own activities or join in on community-sponsored events, so there's always plenty to do, whether it's movie nights, recreation, or just sitting in the common rooms with neighbors and friends. The staff follows personalized care plans for each resident, so health, wellness, and quality of life get top attention, and every resident can get the mix of support, social time, and privacy they want, whether they're there for a long-term stay or just a short-term respite. Tours give families a real look at daily life and routines, and Keene Valley Neighborhood House has outside review organizations verifying its licensing and standards as a care provider.
