Lutheran Care Center At Concord Village sits at 965 Dutchess Tpke, Poughkeepsie, New York, and offers a range of care services for seniors age 55 and up. The staff includes physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nurse assistants, social workers, registered dietitians, and specialists for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, so residents can get different kinds of health and personal care. The center focuses on offering seniors compassionate support with respect, dignity, and as much comfort as possible, all in an environment that feels more like a modern retirement residence than an old-style nursing home. People who come here find 120 long-term care beds and 40 short-term beds, with rooms that look out on gardens and sunlit spaces, and an easygoing mid-sized place that lets caregivers focus on each person's needs. The facility stays connected to a continuing-care community, so there are independent living apartments, assisted living, nursing care, and even adult day care options. Seniors who want more independence can live in their own apartments, and those who need extra support can join assisted living communities with services that help with daily tasks if needed.
You'll find a chapel with stained glass windows, South Gibbs Garden, a recreation center with a library, and an atrium full of plants that brings a warm feel to the place. Meals, usually one or two prepared each day, focus on good nutrition, with staff making sure residents get enough vitamins and minerals in what they eat. Regular housekeeping and laundry keep things tidy, and there's weekly onsite barber and beauty care, transportation services, and special event rooms that families can use for gatherings. Seniors who need special help for memory problems, like Alzheimer's or dementia, can get memory care designed to reduce confusion and keep them safe, with support from skilled caregivers who use therapies matched to their needs. There's a dedicated rehab center and home transition gym to help people recover after illness or surgery, and a recreational therapy center for physical and mental activity throughout the week. People who want spiritual support can find it through the Lutheran tradition of care that guides the community's approach, focusing on body, mind, and spirit, with options for spiritual services when requested.
The environment feels calm, peaceful, and friendly, helped by a staff known for being helpful and kind to residents and visitors. There's a strong mix of social, physical, and mental activities, with programs and outings planned to keep people active and engaged, and those who want quiet can sit and visit in one of the lounges or the special seating areas. Lutheran Care Center At Concord Village's care options reach from home care with trained aides for those wanting help while staying in their own homes, to nursing home services, long-term care, short-term rehab, respite care, adult foster family care, and hospice services when needed. The facility has earned general recognition in the community, showing a quality measures rating of 4 stars, with staffing and health inspections both rated at 3 stars, and an overall CMS Five Star rating of 3 stars. People can schedule tours to meet staff, see the amenities, and get a sense of the day-to-day atmosphere, Monday through Saturday during regular business hours. The center responds best to English-speaking residents, and everyone is welcomed into a community-focused setting where support and respect guide every step of care.
