Chester Hill Adult Home is a board and care community in Mount Vernon, NY, family-owned and operated, that serves adults starting at age 40, with 21 licensed beds, providing a peaceful, homelike setting for seniors who need some help with daily life but can still enjoy being independent-so you've got assisted living care, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia in their own on-site building, nursing home services for those needing more hands-on support, and independent living for healthy retirees. It gives respite care too, so families can take a break while their loved one is cared for short-term. Staff can help with daily routines, medication management, diabetes monitoring (but can't give insulin), and personal care like bathing, meals-including kosher options, and housekeeping. There's always staff awake and ready to help 24 hours a day, and they're prepared for emergencies or to lend a hand if someone needs to move from bed to wheelchair or elsewhere.
Residents get three meals a day, social and educational activities like arts and crafts, movies, computer time, video games, holiday celebrations, birthday parties, exercise and health programs, and devotional activities. The community has indoor common areas for socializing, full bathtubs, outdoor smoking in designated spots, and transportation to appointments-they'll even provide complimentary rides or arrange transportation for a fee if needed, plus they're close to public bus lines. They're equipped for non-ambulatory and incontinence care, and trained medical staff are available as needed. The focus is on offering care plans made just for each person, encouraging folks to keep as much independence as possible while staying safe and comfortable in a warm, supportive place, and they've got amenities and comforts aimed at making residents truly feel at home, with a variety of on-site and off-site activities. English and Spanish speakers are available. Though Chester Hill Adult Home doesn't accept Medicare except when certified, they work to support seniors with a safe environment, a sense of community, and care matched to their needs, all on a quiet property in Mount Vernon.
