Claremount is a senior living community for people aged 62 and older where folks can choose from one or two bedroom apartments that range from 620 to 880 square feet, and there are 75 apartment homes available, so it's got enough space for folks to get a bit of privacy or company if they want. It first opened in 1979 and the whole place takes up about 47,900 square feet, so it has had time to build up its services like offering independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, respite care for short-term relief, and support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and managing medicine, which is important for people wanting to keep as much independence as possible as they age.
The apartments come with washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, refrigerators, microwave ovens, cable TV, and Internet access, and the rent is based on 30% of the household's income, but there may be a waiting list and they want full financial disclosure, so it's important to know that up front. Managed by Millennia Housing Management, Claremount lets people bring along small dogs under 15 pounds and 15 inches at the shoulder or cats up to 12 pounds, so it's good for folks who always had a pet around. The apartments are pet-friendly and there's an apartment locating service to help folks find what suits them.
There's a dining room with meals made from good ingredients meant to be nutritious, a wellness center, a game room, a library, a spa, a beauty salon, and a movie theater. There are common areas for things like computer classes, concert trips, worship services, book club meetings, and other activities to keep things interesting, plus on-site laundry and a community room. People can spend time outdoors on grounds suitable for walking and being outside, though there's no information on parking or garage details.
Claremount holds a license as an Enriched Housing Program and Adult Care Facility with a Dementia Unit from the State of New York, so it's set up for seniors who need extra support, especially with memory challenges like confusion or wandering. There is medication management and personal care provided as needed, and they focus on helping each person maintain independence as much as possible.
There's extra information on the website, such as floor plans, neighborhood information, and detailed amenities, as well as more than 30 customizable property reports if that's something someone wants to look at. There are legal protections in place against discrimination based on LGBTQ status, gender identity, orientation, and source of income, and the apartments are income-based to help with affordability. The City Town of Clarence provides municipal services, including a water department, and manages some city governance offices on-site, along with highway signs and guardrails related to paving. While there's no specific listing for outdoor amenities or parking, Claremount is designed for comfort, support, and convenience for seniors of different care needs who want a safe and decent place to live.
