The Village at Bay Ridge offers an independent living program designed for older adults who want to maintain an active lifestyle while having access to reliable medical support. Residents can request periodic wellness checks, medication reminders, and coordination with outside physicians. A 24-hour emergency response system links each apartment to on-site staff trained to handle urgent medical situations, and scheduled transportation to local clinics makes it easier for residents to keep specialist appointments. These safeguards give residents and families a clear picture of what medical help is available when needed, without the continuous oversight found in higher-acuity settings.
Beyond direct medical services, the community supports residents with structured wellness programs such as fitness classes, health education sessions, and regular health screenings arranged through local providers. Staff members manage prescription refills, help arrange in-home therapy visits when ordered by a physician, and track follow-up recommendations after hospital stays. The campus layout is step-free, and common areas include handrails and emergency pull cords to reduce the risk of falls. Scheduled transportation for errands, housekeeping, and linen service round out the support package so residents can focus on daily routines rather than logistics.
Accommodations range from studios to two-bedroom apartments, each equipped with basic kitchen appliances, individual climate controls, and an emergency call system. Select floor plans add features such as walk-in showers, in-unit laundry, patios, or additional storage, but not every apartment includes every amenity. Weekly housekeeping, maintenance, and trash removal are provided across all units, and residents can furnish their spaces to suit personal preferences.
Meals are served three times a day in a communal dining room where staff present multiple entrée choices at each seating. A registered dietitian reviews menus to confirm they meet nutritional guidelines and can be adjusted for low-sodium, diabetic, or other physician-ordered diets. Light snacks, coffee, and fruit are available between meal periods, and residents may reserve a private dining area for family gatherings. Apartment kitchens allow for personal meal preparation, but participation in the meal plan is encouraged to ensure consistent nutrition.
