Somerset Gardens Senior Living

Somerset Gardens Senior Living in Plainview, NY, sits in a well-kept three-story building with sunny apartments and green gardens, and people say the staff there act like family, making everyone feel comfortable and at home right away, and they offer different services for all kinds of needs-like Independent Living for those who want freedom but less work, Assisted Living for people who need help with everyday things, and Memory Care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementias, all with a focus on dignity, privacy, and safety since there's a full-time registered nurse and trained care staff around 24/7 for help and emergencies. Residents can choose between studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, with options for walk-in closets, kitchenettes, private baths, and patios, and each is equipped with an emergency call system; pets are welcome, which many people like because it feels more like home. Wheelchair accessible showers and common areas make it easier for everyone to get around, and there's resident parking for those who drive. Somerset Gardens offers activities morning to night-social gatherings, educational clubs, games, movies in a theater room, music, billiards, a book circle, and walks on the landscaped grounds and walking paths outside, and there are also indoor areas like a sunroom and lounges for relaxing or visiting with friends and family, so there's plenty to do without leaving, but there's a community bus for outings too. Onsite health and wellness services include nurses and doctors on call, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, a podiatrist, a beautician, and hospice care for those who need it, along with a smoke-free policy indoors for everyone's health. Memory Care residents have special support in the secure Country Cottage area, where staff uses tailored care plans and structured programs to help people with memory problems stay engaged and as comfortable as possible, with the added calm of 24-hour supervision. There's a Wellness Center and regular mental health programs, plus general counseling, to support well-being, and the community overall follows a personal approach to care-each person has a care plan that fits their needs, which might be full-time help, just occasional support, or something in between. People who want to try out the place before making a decision can do the Trial Stay Program, which lets them live in a private apartment for thirty days and experience everything the community offers. Somerset Gardens, managed by Chelsea Senior Living, serves older adults looking for comfort, support, and a place to feel at home, with all the comforts-private dining, barber and beauty salon, computer access, WiFi, and secure, hands-on care when needed, whether for a short VIP stay, quick respite, or a longer home.
