St. Joseph’s Adult Care Home

St. Joseph's Adult Care Home sits in Sloatsburg, NY, on the old Sloatsburg estate, and has a history with the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate, who provide care for the elderly, especially those in the Ukrainian community, and you'll find a family-like atmosphere here where residents get respect and dignity, with staff who speak English, Ukrainian, Polish, Spanish, and Creole so everyone's understood and there's help any time, day or night. This isn't a nursing home but a place for seniors who can mostly take care of themselves-there are private single rooms for 31 residents right now, some with their own bathrooms, and the building is two stories with an elevator so you don't have to do stairs, and residents can keep their own cars on site if they want to stay independent. St. Joseph's plans to grow with a new seven million dollar expansion that'll bring 19 more private bedrooms with baths, a larger chapel, a bigger dining room, an atrium, more laundry services, another nurse's station, a bigger generator for power, an upgraded alarm and security system, all aiming to make things safer, more comfortable, and better able to care for more seniors with assisted living and Alzheimer's care on top of what's already there. You get three home-cooked meals each day, menu options for folks who can't have salt or sugar, and help with meds and bathing if you need it, though no injections, and there's always a nurse or aide close by for other support. There are lots of activities-arts and crafts, Bingo, games, videos, cable TV, special events, music, guest entertainers, and holiday parties-and the landscaped grounds are nice for a walk or relaxing outside if the weather's good. Housekeeping and laundry are done for you, and there are hairdresser and barber services on site too. For those who want it, there are daily Byzantine Catholic Divine Liturgies or Latin Rite Masses in the bigger chapel, a Catholic priest for confessions, and space for spiritual retreats, plus the home arranges visits from doctors, dentists, foot doctors, psychiatrists, and therapists if needed, and will give referrals for extra nursing care. Residents have a solarium, activity room, and plenty of common areas to sit, chat, or watch movies, and the staff encourages everyone to take part in what they can, keeping folks active and engaged in a group setting where independence matters. The community focuses on caring for adults, with special support for those from the Ukrainian community, and stays committed to expanding care options without turning into a nursing home, while always aiming to keep things safe, friendly, and welcoming for all the seniors who call it home.
