Valley Vista Adult/Assisted in Highland, NY accepts residents who need either Assisted Living or Residential Care Home support. The community is set up to manage oxygen therapy, implement physician-ordered special diets, and serve adults younger than 60 when appropriate. Staff are trained to care for diabetics who rely on oral medication, insulin injections, or sliding-scale coverage, and the setting is prepared to support residents with moderate dementia. On-site podiatry services reduce the need for outside appointments and help keep mobility issues in check.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, a dedicated night shift remains awake, and apartments feature pull cords that signal staff immediately; exit doors are alarmed for added security. An activity director oversees daily programming, while caregivers provide some physical help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer assistance ranges from standby supervision to one-person lifts, and staff are comfortable supporting residents who use walkers or wheelchairs.
Private and semiprivate rooms are available; some come furnished, and others allow residents to bring personal furniture. A number of suites include a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, cable hookup, and the option to paint or decorate. Because layouts and features vary, it is best to confirm specific room details during a visit.
Meals follow a set menu that rotates through the week, and kitchen staff can modify entrées for diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets. Snacks are available between meals. Residents who need some help cutting food or getting seated receive that assistance, and those who prefer to dine in their rooms can arrange tray service.
The campus offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and designated outdoor smoking space. Amenities include an on-site barber and beauty shop, a movie room, internet access throughout the building, and communal gardens. Religious services are held on site, and scheduled transportation is available for shopping, appointments, and local outings; the property is also close to public transit stops.
