Gladhaven Club

Gladhaven Club sits in a Victorian mansion at 10 Bishop Drive South, Rye Brook, NY, and you'll notice the marble fireplaces and high ceilings, which give it a different feeling from newer places. The club offers many types of care, like independent living, assisted living, memory care for folks dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia, and full nursing services for those who need round-the-clock help, so people can move in at different stages of their lives and often stay even as their health or needs change. The place's small size means staff can spend more time one-on-one with each resident, helping with things like meals (even vegetarian meals if needed), laundry, cleaning, medication, and bathing, and they seem to focus a lot on building trust and companionship while letting residents keep as much independence as possible. There are indoor and outdoor areas to gather, activities both inside and outside, and transport with parking if someone still drives. Pets like dogs and cats are allowed, so folks don't have to leave them behind, and bathing tubs are in the rooms for comfort. The club gives temporary respite care for caregivers who need a break, as well as specialty care like incontinence support and help for those who can't walk on their own. Family members can look up reviews, compare prices (there's a studio room type listed), and connect with local advisors listed on the same site. The place is run by owner Susan Roche, and all in all, it aims to give a comfortable setting for seniors who want some help but also want to live in a homey place with a bit of history and care that fits their needs.
