The Beltrone Living Center

The Beltrone Living Center sits at 6 Winners Circle in Albany, NY, and offers a wide range of living and care choices for older adults, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, and even house calls for home care and residential care homes, and it's been home to seniors since 1999 with about 250 apartment homes, each one for people aged 55 and older who want a comfortable, spacious home and shared community spaces. Residents can use unique features like the Lakeview Restaurant run by Mazzone Hospitality, the Country Café for snacks and coffee, and there's a Salon at Beltrone for haircuts, a library for quiet reading, and a billiards room for games and fun, and for extra meals or celebrations, the community hosts lunches and special dinners. The building also includes amenities to keep life easy and social, with things like home maintenance help through the Umbrella Program and Toolbox, as well as transport options like Driver Fitness, Defensive Driving, and CarFit® that help people get around or keep up on their driving skills. Those who need more support can get care from trained aides right at home or in a residential setting, and there's a focus on those with Alzheimer's or other challenges through specialized memory care, 24-hour support, therapies to prevent wandering, and activities meant to help memory and comfort, so people who need a little help or a lot find what fits best. Independent seniors find a hassle-free lifestyle, with chef-planned meals that focus on nutrition, and there's always something to do since staff offer programs for social, physical, mental, and emotional health, and the award-winning team at Beltrone is known for being kind and helpful, bringing a sense of warmth to daily life. People can visit Bright Horizons Adult Day Services without leaving the building, and they can get help from the Senior Medicare Patrol, join community lunches, and connect to dozens of other senior services all in one place, plus the administrative offices of CSSC and New York StateWide Senior Action Council are on site, so there's easy access to senior advocacy, patient rights, a helpline about Medicare or health coverage, plus education through programs like Telephone Teach-Ins. The community stays full with 100% occupancy as of 2018, and those who live there call their apartments home while having support, resources, activities, and amenities close by, and the center is involved in statewide campaigns to improve Medicaid home care and Social Security, so it's a hub for information, support, and friendly living for older adults.
