Woodcrest at Jacobs Hill sits in Cortlandt and offers a range of care and living options for seniors who are 55 and older, and folks here can choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or board and care homes in small residential settings, so some people move in still quite active while others need help with daily things like getting dressed, bathing, or managing medicine, and the staff always provides personalized support based on each person's needs. The place has 58 one or two-bedroom homes and 103 affordable apartments, all with features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, and either a balcony or nice views, plus elevators so residents don't have to climb stairs.
For those with Alzheimer's or dementia, secure areas and memory care programs provide 24-hour supervision, memory games, and activities designed for safety and comfort. Folks who need more medical support can use the skilled nursing wing, where round-the-clock care, rehab, wound care, and nursing help are available. Independent seniors get access to resort-style amenities, a clubhouse with a billiards room, card room, and great room for gatherings, a gym, a fitness room, walking and biking trails, outdoor pool, BBQ grills, and a patio area, plus there's always something going on, like scheduled activities, fitness programs, arts and crafts in the arts room, movies in the theater, and resident-run clubs.
The community uses a 24-hour call system so residents can get help when needed, and they're strict about supervision and safety, so families have peace of mind. There's housekeeping, laundry/dry cleaning, move-in coordination, and help for families, and if someone needs a ride to the doctor or to go shopping, the 14-passenger bus handles that, even sometimes going on casino trips. Meals are served in a dining room, and chefs can handle allergies and diabetes diets, and there's all-day dining with restaurant-style service. The homeowners association takes care of all outside yardwork and repairs, which saves trouble for everyone, and a non-smoking policy keeps the air clean.
Woodcrest at Jacobs Hill has lease terms like a one-year lease and yearly income certification, and cats, birds, and fish are allowed for a fee, but dogs aren't. There's internet, phone, and cable in every apartment, frost-free refrigerators, dishwashers, and central air. Residents like to gather at the gazebo or along the walking trails, and the clubhouse acts as the social heart of the place, so it makes it easy to make friends and stay active. Medical offices, shopping, restaurants, and hospitals, including New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital, are nearby, and the area has lots of outdoor choices like golf, fishing, hiking, and kayaking around the Hudson River and Blue Mountain Reserve. Woodcrest at Jacobs Hill works to be energy efficient, using things like ENERGY STAR and LEED standards.
