The Apsley

The Apsley is a senior living community in a 19-story high-rise on the Upper West Side, with interiors designed by Champalimaud, and you'll notice the attention to detail right away, with impressive decor and modern comforts like Wi-Fi and high-speed internet through the building and private, fully-furnished apartments that let residents feel at home whether they want independent living, assisted living, or memory care. The staff are trained to provide personalized help, using the Validation method with empathy, and there's always someone around day and night, including on-site nurses and special Designated Care Managers for residents in the assisted living program. Residents who deal with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or dementia can live in the secure Reminiscence Neighborhood, and there are special programs and clubs for them, along with memory care support group meetings each month for families. There are separate neighborhoods for memory care and for those who need help with daily tasks, and care ranges from non-medical home care to skilled nursing, so folks can get care right in their apartment and stay as their needs change. The Apsley has a strong sense of community, with lots of activity areas across different floors-folks gather in the parlor, relax in the library, or join neighbors in the grand dining room and private dining room for meals that use quality ingredients. People who like to keep busy enjoy weekly history lectures, cultural events, restaurant outings, theater trips, and classes ranging from film and music to mahjong, and there's a theater room where residents can watch performances or movies with friends. The lounge, with its piano, is a favorite spot, and pets are welcome, making it easier for people to bring a bit of home with them. Every residence comes with an emergency call system, and the staff help with dressing, bathing, and medication as needed. The building is designed with seniors in mind and has specialized features to promote comfort and dignity. There are activities, workshops, and all-inclusive care rates so costs are clear, and it's possible for folks to age in place because more care can come to them as time goes on. The Apsley is managed by Sunrise Senior Living and brings in elements of the neighborhood itself, offering a refined yet inviting space for seniors who want comfort, culture, and support as they get older.
