The Eliot at Troy

The Eliot at Troy is an assisted living community located in the Catskill Mountains, set on over five acres of lawns and gardens, and you can see how the natural setting around it gives a quiet country feel, which makes things feel peaceful and relaxed, and it sits pretty close to the heart of the cozy town of New Rochelle, with parks and Glenwood Lake nearby for some fresh air when folks want a walk or a bit of nature. The Eliot at Troy offers several types of care, including assisted living, Alzheimer's care, and independent living for seniors who want to keep their freedom but avoid the hassles of keeping up a home, and there's a licensed home care service as well, so seniors living at home can still get non-medical help and friendly company from trained aides if they wish. Residents can choose from a variety of private or semi-private room floor plans, all coming with individually controlled heating and air, WiFi, cable and flat-screen televisions, emergency call systems in both bedrooms and bathrooms, and some quite comfortable furnishings so it's easier to settle in.

Staff at The Eliot at Troy are on hand around the clock to help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and safety supervision, and there are wellness center services run by a team that includes an internist, a podiatrist, physical therapists, and a psychologist, so health problems and routine care are handled without leaving the building. The facility manages medication for residents through trained Med Techs, and safety checks are done by staff too, which gives families some peace of mind. Folks who need more care get help with diabetic needs, incontinence, and non-ambulatory assistance, and memory care is also available, with housing and therapies focused on reducing confusion and keeping residents with dementia safe from wandering.

Meals are prepared three times a day by meal planners and chefs, so the food is home-cooked and balanced for nutrition, and people can gather to eat in either the main dining room or a private dining room when there's a special event or get-together. Laundry, linen, and housekeeping are handled by staff every week, which leaves more time for residents to join in activities-there's bingo, yoga, devotional services, baking clubs, and outings off site too, and the activity staff always try to get people together so there's some chance to socialize if they'd like. There are a number of common spaces, like a library and a parlor, along with big country kitchens and other indoor areas where folks can relax, read, or visit with friends.

The Eliot at Troy is known for awards in care, friendliness, and activities-like Best of Senior Living and Most Friendly, which says something about the experience there in terms of support and atmosphere and the efforts made by the team. The community has a goal to help people live as independently as possible but with help right when it's needed, so there's a real sense of personal choice and freedom still maintained, and the included amenities like utilities, WiFi, and cable mean there's less to worry about. The facility is also certified to provide Medicaid-funded home care through New York's Affordable Assisted Living Program, which can help some families with the cost. The Eliot at Troy stands out most for its strong mix of daily assistance, healthcare options, memory care, and an active social calendar in a peaceful and homey environment.
