Netherbay at Bay Shore offers assisted-living services designed to help residents maintain health and independence while having rapid access to medical support. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to supervise medication management, monitor chronic conditions, and communicate changes in status to primary physicians. Care aides assist with daily injections, blood pressure checks, and routine lab coordination, ensuring residents’ treatment plans stay on track. Scheduled visits from outside therapists and podiatrists supplement on-site oversight, and the community arranges transportation for off-site specialist appointments when needed.
Daily living assistance is delivered with an emphasis on safety and consistency. Staff members help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and continence care, and they follow individualized service plans that are reviewed regularly with relatives and healthcare providers. An emergency call system links every apartment to the care team, and regular fall-risk assessments guide placement of grab bars and other adaptive equipment. Residents can join strength and balance classes, take part in organized wellness checks, and receive guidance on nutrition, sleep, and medication adherence, all aimed at reducing hospital readmissions.
Accommodations include studios and one-bedroom apartments equipped with barrier-free bathrooms, emergency pull cords, and individually controlled climate settings. Some units add kitchenettes, walk-in showers, or small patios, but not all accommodations have all these features. Weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and maintenance are handled by staff, and residents may furnish their spaces to suit personal taste, subject to safety guidelines.
The dining program provides three chef-prepared meals each day in a communal dining room, with menus reviewed by a registered dietitian to address diabetic, low-sodium, and other physician-ordered diets. Alternative entrées and snacks are always available, and room service can be arranged during short-term illness. A smaller bistro area offers lighter fare throughout the day, and guests can be accommodated with advance notice.
