Central Assisted Living sits right in the heart of Queens, New York, and has been family-owned and operated for nearly 40 years, so there's a long sense of experience behind its day-to-day care. The community offers assisted living, nursing care, and a strong memory care program known as the Central Townhouse, which is one of the few options in New York State that accepts Medicaid for memory care residents. Meal times come with restaurant-style dining and all-day meal options, and there's a professional chef who makes sure foods are prepared to meet special dietary needs like diabetes or allergies, so residents don't have to worry much about meals. Folks can choose from furnished rooms with private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and spaces designed for wheelchair and mobility access-so comfort and accessibility are addressed for different needs.
For daily life, Central Assisted Living provides help with activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, or medication management, and there's always 24-hour supervision from staff that includes both full-time and part-time nurses. Housekeeping, laundry, and dry-cleaning services are there, along with a concierge and move-in help to make things simpler. Residents can stay as active as they want with a schedule of social and educational programs, fitness classes like aerobics or dance therapy, and wellness checks, while there are also onsite therapy options, counseling, and a clinic if anyone needs medical support or skilled nursing care. The activity calendar usually has social clubs, movie nights, picnics, music activities, arts, tabletop games, costume parties, outings, and even devotional activities offsite for those who enjoy those kinds of things.
The facility offers adult daycare services too, and products including My Adult Foster Care, My Adult Home Care, My Senior Care Hub, and My Adult Behavior. Tele-Health lets staff keep an eye on residents' health remotely, which adds another layer to the care. There's help with medical appointments and on-demand transportation plus parking for those who need it. An emergency alert system supports safety and the electronic visit verification helps track visits and care services. Services like wheelchair and mobility assistance, male caregivers for those who need or want them, and staff who're trained in ethics all add to the sense that care here is thoughtful and comprehensive. Most of the staff speak English, and the facility encourages residents to decorate their own suites with familiar things from home, so life there feels a little less clinical and a lot more personal.
Central Assisted Living accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, making it possible for folks with varying financial situations to live there. The Central Townhouse Memory Care unit caters to those living with memory-related conditions like Alzheimer's, and includes secured spaces and a dementia waiver program, all with a focus on resident safety. The community has indoor and outdoor activity spaces, a computer room, library, spa and wellness room, and activity rooms, plus private and common areas where people can gather or unwind. Central Assisted Living's range of features-housekeeping, nutrition programs, a family support system, a strong schedule of outings and social events, and recreational and wellness programs-aims to keep residents engaged, comfortable, and well-cared for in a setting that tries to feel as much like home as possible.
