Pleasantview Home For Adults sits in Bay Shore, NY, and serves as a cozy assisted living community for adults, especially those aged 55 and over, with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other memory problems, and you'll find it's a small place-usually just four to six residents at one time-and feels very much like a family home, where caring staff give gentle supervision, help with daily routines, and do their best to make everyone comfortable. This home cares for memory needs, offering secured and locked areas to keep residents safe, and there's always someone around trained in first aid, CPR, and medication help, plus visiting nurses, therapists, and even a doctor or podiatrist on call, so folks get the support they need without having to go far.
Residents get all sorts of meals-vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, no sugar, and other special diets-cooked and served in a family-style dining room, and those who need help with eating, blood sugar checks, or incontinence get that without fuss. There's both respite and short term stays, so if someone needs a break, or isn't staying long, they're welcome too. You get laundry, housekeeping, private baths, emergency call systems in place, furnished rooms, family picnics, and holiday celebrations, just as you'd expect from a family-type setting. Outdoor courtyards and walking paths are secured, while inside, art classes, gardening club, yoga, religious services, and a quiet spot are always available, and residents' pets are welcome as long as they don't disturb others. Wheelchair accessible showers and indoor and outdoor gathering areas make moving about easier, and transportation is there if you need it-sometimes free, sometimes for a fee.
While there's plenty of structure, the pace stays slow, with activities and therapies for memory support, beauty and barber services, visiting chaplains, and lots of kindness from the staff, who always try to keep things calm and steady for those folks whose memories aren't what they used to be. You'll see that people living at Pleasantview Home For Adults get help with personal care, medication management, and whatever else keeps them safe and independent, whether they're there for a little while or staying as long as they like. The home is licensed and inspected by New York State, making sure the focus stays on offering a gentle, comfortable environment where adults can still feel part of a community, living with others and staying active as much as they're able.
