Atria Kew Gardens

Atria Kew Gardens sits in a high-rise building on a well-established block in Queens where you find comfortable senior apartments with one or two bedrooms, as well as shared suites for memory care, and the rooms come with kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, thermostat control, and an emergency alert system. Residents enjoy shaded patios, a relaxing outdoor deck, landscaped common areas, and can even stroll on the Forest Park Hiking Trails nearby, and there's indoor spaces like an elegant dining room, a cozy library, a bistro, and inviting sitting areas where people can just sit or chat. The staff, friendly and knowledgeable, is available 24 hours a day to help with anything from medication management, blood sugar monitoring, and administering insulin to handling transfers and assisting with grooming or incontinence needs; some staff are specially trained for those with Alzheimer's, dementia, or related memory or behavioral issues, with a secured memory care building, alarmed bracelets to prevent wandering, and a safe property made just for people at risk of becoming lost. People here have choices about how much help they want with options like independent living for those wanting privacy and a hassle-free home, assisted living if folks need extra support, and a dedicated memory care program with special technology and services to reduce confusion or help with symptoms, plus there's skilled nursing, home care, hospice, and respite care for short stays. Meals come prepared by a chef, with kosher choices and seasonal menus served in set dining rooms, and the property welcomes pets like cats and dogs, is handicap accessible, and has Wi-Fi for residents. The Jewish Lifestyles program stands out with gourmet kosher meals studied by the Vaad Harabonim of Queens, along with weekly religious services, spiritual observances, and holiday celebrations, and the schedule always includes devotional services both on and off site, so traditions stay strong. There's an activity director who keeps folks busy with daily activities, creative art and poetry workshops, musical performances, movies in the theater, classes in the fitness center, shopping trips, cultural outings, and yoga -- all included in the Engage Life® events program, while regular social groups, discussion circles, and community events take place both indoors and outside. Residents can use scheduled transportation about 10 miles outside Manhattan or join group outings, and there's also a full-service salon, beautician onsite, and easy access in and out for family visitors. All maintenance, cooking, and cleaning is managed by staff, and the community can help families with financial planning, insurance, veterans or tax benefits, and even offers support resources for caregivers. The property is licensed under number 590-S-315 and covers a range of options for older adults, whether someone needs help with daily living, wants active adult living, or seeks continuing care in retirement, and it's got communal and private spaces made for comfort and convenience so people can choose the lifestyle and support that works best for them.
