Nestled along a picturesque riverfront and just a short drive from Plattsburgh, Champlain Valley Senior Community offers a unique Adirondack senior living experience that allows residents to age gracefully in place. Occupying the beautifully renovated historic Willsboro Grade School, originally built in 1927, the community strikes a perfect balance between homelike charm and modern convenience. Since its reopening in the summer of 2013, Champlain Valley Senior Community has been dedicated to providing a comprehensive range of senior care services tailored to the diverse needs of its residents.
At Champlain Valley Senior Community, each individual benefits from 24-hour personal care assistance and supervision, medication management, and skilled nursing catering to varying levels of need. The enhanced assisted living license sets this community apart in the Adirondacks and the greater Plattsburgh area, enabling the staff to administer advanced nursing care services such as diabetic care and management, oxygen and incontinence management, transfer and ambulation assistance, medical equipment handling— including catheter and colostomy care—feeding assistance, wound care, and regular nursing assessments. This commitment to catering to complex health needs ensures seniors can remain amid familiar surroundings, minimizing transitions and promoting continuity of care.
