Inspīr Carnegie Hill sits on Manhattan's Upper East Side, at 1802 Second Avenue and 93rd Street, in a tall building that looks modern and bright and wins awards for its design, and you walk inside and see it feels more like a nice hotel with private rooms, apartments with kitchenettes, cable TV, and private bathrooms, and folks can bring their pets, too. The building has elevators, a fitness center, and a heated saltwater pool, plus a bar and lounge, a library, a Skypark high above with city views, and a garden terrace where you can sit or walk around, and they've got lounges, and a theater for movies or talks, and when you want a bite to eat you can pick Onyx for casual dining or choose from two fine dining restaurants, and there's always coffee and snacks and a place to relax with neighbors.
There are different types of living and care here, because some people come for independent living if they want to keep their own schedule and still join activities or just use the luxury spaces, and others need assisted living so staff can help with things like laundry, bed making, or taking medicines, while some need memory care with extra support for conditions like Alzheimer's or dementia, and people who need more help can use enhanced or skilled nursing care, since the place has registered nurse care managers and a full care team on-site all the time. The building has social activities, tours of museums in the city, arts and crafts in the studio, and lots of life enrichment programs, and staff like the Director of Resident Experience try to make sure everyone finds things to do, and the Executive Chef runs the kitchens.
People here get help with daily things like housekeeping, laundry, medication, and therapy for strength or movement, and care plans are made to fit each person by the integrated care team, who'll talk to doctors and help with any care needs, and there's always a nurse around. The community allows pets and offers car services including a Mercedes-Maybach house car or even limos for special trips, and there's always internet and computer access, plus a beauty salon and barber. The facility is run as part of the Inspīr brand, which talks a lot about luxury, whole-person wellness, and having up-to-date technology and features in a home-like place, and the whole setup is built for connection and well-being, so people can stay busy, make friends, and try out new interests or simply have quiet time. It opened in 2018 and remains a privately held company with a mid-sized team, trying to offer many care options and extras for people wanting a new chapter of life in the city.
