Greenfield Manor in Lancaster, NY is an Independent Living community that couples the freedom of a maintenance-free lifestyle with an unusually broad clinical safety net. Residents who wander—whether during the day or at night—are monitored, and staff are trained to respond to elopement risks, combative or other behavioral concerns, and those who stay up all night. The team manages complex chronic conditions such as wounds, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes, including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Support for residents under 60 and for advanced dementia conditions is available, ensuring continuity of care if needs change.
An awake night shift provides round-the-clock oversight, and the community arranges on-site podiatry, audiology, dental visits, and therapies in a dedicated treatment room. Staff can give full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are equipped for every level of transfer, from standby help to two-person lifts and full Hoyer support for those who are bed-bound. Psychiatric issues are accepted, further widening the safety net for residents with mental health needs.
Apartments come in several layouts; some include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnished set-up, independent temperature controls, cable service, and laundry machines in the unit, while others offer only a subset of these features. Residents may bring their own décor or repaint to personalize the space, and scheduled housekeeping and laundry services are provided for all. Independent Living residents can opt into medication-management monitoring, periodic housekeeping and laundry, and a monthly meal plan if desired.
Dining options range from a set daily menu to on-order entrées, with snacks available around the clock. Meals can be taken in the main dining room, a private dining room, or delivered to the apartment. The kitchen honors physician-ordered diets and personal preferences including gluten-free, mechanical-chop, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other special modifications.
Common-area amenities include resident parking, full wheelchair accessibility, an exercise room, wellness center, movie theater, barber/beauty shop, internet access, library, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. A concierge coordinates special-interest clubs and schedules transportation—public bus links are nearby, and the community offers shuttle service for medical appointments and a town-car for local errands.
