Atria Rye Brook

Atria Rye Brook sits in a green area and gives seniors a range of ways to live based on what they need, and folks can choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities all on the same campus, so when health needs change, residents don't have to move far, and there are no buy-in fees since the apartments have flexible, month-to-month leases. This place has one- and two-bedroom apartments, each with a full kitchen-granite countertops, maple cabinets, washer and dryer, and walk-in showers-so folks can take care of themselves as much as they want, but housekeepers and maintenance staff are onsite to help when needed. Seniors get to live a pretty social life here because there are indoor and outdoor spaces-like a big atrium with a piano, a bistro for snacks, a dining room for chef-planned meals, a cafe with snacks all day, plus garden courtyards with a koi pond and waterfall, walking paths, and even community gardens where people can grow things, and resident parking is available. There's always a nurse onsite, along with a doctor and dentist on call, and folks can get podiatrist care right in the community; those same nurses and aides help with bathing, dressing, and medications if someone needs it. This place helps people stay sharp with physical, speech, and occupational therapy, and the Engage Life® program gives something new to do every day-like art classes, fitness in a center taught by certified teachers, activity rooms, billiards, movies, and regular trips offsite for outings. Seniors can bring their pets, and the community stays nonsmoking, so it's easier to keep the air clean, and everyone-including those with Alzheimer's or dementia-can get care and be secure, because there's 24-hour staff, security, and specialized memory care. Folks pick meals from regular or vegetarian menus, and can eat on property or at nearby spots like The Westchester mall or Wegmans; there's a beauty/barber shop too, and a business center, library, and WiFi in all areas. The Social Series always brings a new gathering, like casino nights and outdoor parties, plus devotional services and plenty of space for hobbies, so everyone has a chance to make friends or spend quiet time in the gardens. The place lets residents age in place, means they can get help as their needs change, and homecare can come onsite for extra support if needed. The grounds cover all sorts of interests-golf at Griffith E. Harris Golf Course, trails at the Audubon Center, even nearby art museums. There's female and male residents, wheelchair accessible spaces, parking, and all rooms and halls are easy for everyone to get around. Staff members get special training to help older adults feel at home, and people can live here independently or get as much help as needed, including hospice, respite care, and live-in caregivers in certain care homes for those who want neighborhood living.
