The Veranda Assisted Living is a large, newly renovated, high-rise facility on Staten Island with 363 beds, and it's part of the New York State Participating ALP Program, so it does accept Medicaid to help keep care affordable for many people. Residents can choose private or semi-private rooms, some of which are ADA compliant and all have call bell systems for quick help when needed, and the building is only minutes from the Staten Island Ferry and Verrazano Bridge, providing nice views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines. Staff offer 24/7 supervision and support, making sure people get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and the facility pays close attention to safety, comfort, and independence through personalized care plans and a home-like, welcoming atmosphere where residents can feel comfortable bringing their pets.
On the medical side, The Veranda Assisted Living provides on-site care from experienced physicians and a fully staffed medical clinic, with specialists available for different health needs, as well as offering rehabilitation, therapy, and memory care services, including a new Memory Care Wing for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Social engagement is important here, so there are daily activities, special events, yoga, meditation, fitness classes, and spiritual programs, all designed to look after both the body and mind and help everyone feel part of the community.
Meals are served restaurant-style three times a day with extra light meals available, and the kitchens provide a variety of food to keep things interesting. Residents have access to WiFi, cable, weekly laundry, daily housekeeping, and recreation rooms, so daily life stays comfortable, connected, and lively. The Veranda Assisted Living emphasizes social connections and a sense of belonging, focusing on helping each person maintain as much independence as possible while always making sure help and medical care are close at hand whenever needed.
