Birchwood Suites in East Northport offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care in one setting. The community is prepared to manage wandering behaviors in the morning or evening, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral issues, and residents who stay up all night. Clinical support includes wound care, oxygen administration, and specialized oversight for residents with diabetes—whether they require oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale dosing. Staff are trained to work with advanced dementia and related cognitive challenges, so residents coping with late-stage conditions can remain on site rather than move elsewhere.

Around-the-clock nursing coverage is available by phone, and an awake night shift is on duty while door alarms, a fenced perimeter, and 24-hour security staff provide additional safeguards. All employees undergo background checks. An activity director coordinates structured engagement suited to each cognitive level, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in multiple transfer techniques—ranging from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents.

Apartments may include a kitchenette, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, and cable service, and all receive regular housekeeping and scheduled personal laundry. Because layouts vary, not every unit contains every listed feature.

Meals are served from a set menu with the option to order alternatives. Snacks are available throughout the day. The kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered or preference-based modifications such as gluten-free, mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, or other specialized diets, including those required for diabetes management.

Residents have access to parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, an exercise room, internet connectivity, wheelchair-accessible common areas, landscaped communal gardens, concierge services, and scheduled transportation for errands and medical appointments.
