Broadview Senior Living at Purchase College sits right on the campus, surrounded by peaceful woods and gardens, and you'll find it's made for seniors who want more than just a quiet place to live, because you get independent living, assisted living, enhanced assisted living, memory care, and even nursing care and home health options all in one location, so people stay as their needs change. The place has apartments and villa-style homes, and there are different floor plans with high-end touches like Merillat Classic kitchen cabinets, quartz or granite counters, fireplaces, roomy closets, walk-in showers, and your own laundry, plus you can pick furnished or unfurnished, and some come without kitchens for those who'd rather be served meals in the dining rooms. There's plenty to do with an indoor heated pool, hot tub, fitness center, spa and beauty salon, library, and a theater for movies and performances, and Broadview's Learning Commons, which is a large central space with classrooms, a coffee shop, studios, exhibition spots, and computers, makes it easier to keep learning, enjoy art, or join group activities with other residents, students, and teachers from Purchase College.
You'll find residents can audit college classes, join faculty travel, or teach and mentor, and they can spend afternoons at the Neuberger Museum or catch music, dance, and plays at the Performing Arts Center, since there's a special partnership between Broadview and the college, so that the seniors, students, and faculty gather for all sorts of cultural and educational events, and that intergenerational community builds lots of friendships and new ideas. The grounds have an 11-acre park with walking paths, gardens, outdoor performances, and a fenced dog area, and there's an outdoor sundeck, exercise terrace, grilling area, and Wi-Fi everywhere, so people get outside plenty and pets are welcome, though each resident handles their own pet care. Security's covered with controlled access, emergency systems, CCTV, a 24-hour attended lobby, nurse on-site part-time, and wellness checks, while transportation and parking are available for cars, bicycles, and guest vehicles, with rides to Metro-North, shopping, medical appointments, or outings arranged most days.
Staff can help coordinate medical care with a Health Care Navigator, and people can get medication reminders, help with bathing or dressing, assistance with two-person transfers, diabetic care, incontinence care, therapies like speech or physical rehab, and even hospice if needed, which covers most personal and healthcare support for a community like this. Daily life is easygoing since staff handle cleaning, laundry, linens, grounds, and even pest control, and there's always flexible meal options, chef-prepared dishes, nutrition experts, and special diets, and you can eat in several different dining venues or have guest meals. Activities run most days, with arts and crafts, music, gardening, exercise classes like Tai Chi and group fitness, seasonal celebrations, workshops, and devotional groups, plus offsite trips, and activity staff organize events and outings for anyone who wants to join.
Broadview's built for accessibility, with ramps, elevators, rooms for wheelchairs, transfer assistance equipment, and staff who speak English, and you'll see safety systems like emergency call buttons throughout the place. There's mailboxes, meeting rooms, exhibition spots, a clubhouse, reserved underground parking, storage, and a computer/tech lab, with photo and personal tours available for anyone interested in taking a good look around, meeting some residents and staff, or seeing a day in the life firsthand before deciding. Costs start with an entry fee, and payment options include long-term care insurance, regular insurance, private pay, and Medicare where it applies, and the community still has construction going on as they welcome more Charter Members, but many parts are open and active already. Overall, Broadview gives you a safe, engaging place to live with premium amenities and a focus on lifelong learning, surrounded by scenic views, gardens, and lots of chances to keep your mind and body busy, whether staying active, exploring new ideas, or just enjoying meals and daily life with others in a friendly, open setting.
