The Wesley Community - Woodlawn Commons is a senior living community in Saratoga Springs, NY, that sits on a scenic campus with views of the Adirondack Mountains, where residents find both independent and assisted living options in thoughtfully designed apartments, with choices of one-bedroom and, for independent living, two-bedroom layouts that are pet-friendly and have open spaces, kitchenettes, and generous closets, plus individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and an emergency pull cord system for safety. The facility offers help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and has staff available around the clock for supervision, along with on-site healthcare and support for medical needs, including memory care and nursing care through The Wesley Health Care Center, so there's support for a range of physical and cognitive needs on the same campus. Georgia's Restaurant, which is within the community, serves three reasonably priced social meals every day, and there's also the Embury Cafe for casual, dine-in or take-out options, plus residents can get room service and have special dietary meals, like a diabetes diet, when needed.
Residents at Woodlawn Commons enjoy community and resident-run events, with a full calendar of gatherings such as movie nights, card games, exercise classes, local outings, and special events like the Saratoga 9 & Wine golf and tasting, making for an active environment that helps people stay social and engaged. The grounds have beautiful gardens, outdoor paths, and courtyards, and inside there are cozy lounges, a library with a fireplace, a game room, a hair salon and barber shop, and a gift shop, so residents don't have to travel far for daily needs or fun. Apartments are fully furnished, with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone service included, and regular housekeeping and linen service; some units have up-to-date kitchens and hookups for personal laundry.
For those needing more support, the assisted living program is all-inclusive and covers rent, utilities, meals, and personal assistance, with individualized care plans made by staff, and a 24-hour call system for emergencies, and respite care available for short-term stays. Independent living apartments mean residents have maintenance-free living and the freedom to join activities as they like, and if residents move in, the staff helps with coordination. There's a focus on mental wellness with specialized activities, and a team that includes a Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing & Grievance Officer to make sure people receive compassionate care and attention. The community doesn't require a buy-in or entrance fee, and offers multiple levels of care, including therapy and rehabilitation services if needed, so people can transition to more support without moving off campus if needs change, and with so many amenities and social opportunities onsite, Woodlawn Commons suits those looking for comfort, safety, and more chances to be involved as they age.
