Highland Home For Adults

Highland Home For Adults sits at 212 Highland St in Syracuse, NY, and folks living there find a place that aims to be both safe and welcoming, with a bunch of staff who are known for being kind and helpful, and they're around all day and night which means help is always close by, whether someone needs a hand getting in and out of bed, needs help with bathing and dressing, or may need personal care assistants to keep up with medication or daily routines, especially for people who live with dementia or Alzheimer's, and those caregivers prepare home-cooked meals that residents can enjoy in the dining room or in their own rooms, so you don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning up because housekeeping and laundry are handled, and maintenance-free living really does mean no yardwork or fixing leaky faucets. The rooms, which come both private and shared, let people pick what suits them best, and these spaces come furnished, often with handy features like kitchens or kitchenettes so folks can still prepare snacks if that's what they like, and all rooms have cable TV and Wi-Fi so families can call or visit online, and there are washers and dryers nearby. Around the building, Highland Home has made a point of installing handicap features, sprinkler systems, and other safety features to keep everyone comfortable and safe, and they've also made spaces like a common sitting room, dining hall, fitness center, activity rooms, and guest parking easy for everyone to use. There's a game and activities room where people play bingo, cards, group games, or join in on live performances and art projects, which gives a feeling of community and lets folks stay engaged, whether it's just chatting in the sitting area, joining group exercises, or taking part in the full calendar of structured social and recreational programs which have even received awards for excellence. For anyone needing a doctor or dentist, Highland Home brings in dental, optometry, and podiatry services on-site, so there's no need to arrange long trips for basic care, and for folks who prefer more independence, the independent living option means having all services close at hand without giving up an active lifestyle. Transportation is available to help residents get out and about, and there's always a staff member ready to answer a question, help a family, or welcome new arrivals so everyone feels included. Meals focus on nutrition and quality, and the staff aim to support each person's well-being, whether arranging respite care for short stays or ongoing board-and-care for those needing more supervision. All in all, Highland Home For Adults tries to give seniors a place where day-to-day living can be simple, safe, and even a little joyful, without any fuss or heavy lifting for the folks who stay there.
