The Carlucci Home

The Carlucci Home in Port Jervis, New York, is a family-owned and operated senior living community for women that's been around for over 40 years, and folks say it's got friendly staff and a welcoming environment, which is something that helps people settle in. The building is a bit smaller than some others, so the staff know the residents and can focus attention and care on them, and they've got a higher staff-to-resident ratio, which means help comes quicker if you need it and care planning stays personal. The Carlucci Home has both private and semi-private rooms, with semi-private rooms costing about $3,400 a month, and other room types like studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms might be available depending on needs, but there are extra charges for the level of care required-$400 a month for high care needs and $300 a month for medium, with additional fees for some services.

They serve three home-cooked meals daily, and there's always something to eat if you need a kosher or vegetarian option, and that's helpful for folks with different diets, and you won't have to worry about making the meals yourself. Residents can enjoy both indoor and outdoor common spaces, join in special activities every week like BBQs, crafts, bingo, movies, exercise, walking club, and holiday parties, and sometimes you'll see music acts, pets visiting, scout groups, or the Red Hat Club stopping by, and residents even get a say in menu planning for the bigger events. There's a secure memory care area with purpose-built safety features, including alarm bracelets for folks who tend to wander, and staff can care for people with Alzheimer's, dementia, diabetes, and even behavioral symptoms, so residents can age in place without having to move as needs increase, which makes things easier on families.

They provide medical help with licensed nurses on staff, a doctor on call, and visiting professionals like podiatrists, therapists, and others, so regular health checks aren't a hassle, and diabetes management is possible, including insulin administration and blood sugar checks. The Carlucci Home has nurses and resident care aides around 24 hours a day, and someone's awake even at night for emergencies, while also handling daily tasks like housekeeping, laundry, and stand-by assistance with transfers, including with lifts if residents need extra help getting around. People who rely on wheelchairs or need help with incontinence can get that support here, as all showers are wheelchair accessible, and there's an on-site beautician, while devotional services take place offsite if you want to attend.

Residents have access to parking and transportation can be arranged for medical appointments, though there's an extra charge for some of these services, and the place is designed to make it easy for folks to move about indoors and outdoors and to have internet access, keeping in touch with family and friends or just catching up on news. Activities, laundry, housekeeping, medical services, and supportive services like hospice or respite care are all available, letting you or your family member stay longer in familiar surroundings. The Carlucci Home only takes women aged 55 and older, and reviews mention quality care. The Home has received a few awards, including Best of Senior Living and Best Activities, and they've got special training for their staff, like RNs, LPNs, and resident care aides, always trying to put care and safety first while supporting independence as much as possible. Tours are available so people can see how daily life goes, what meals look like, and how the activities work. The main goal is to help women live with comfort, routine, and enough support as their needs change.
