Hearthstone Village in Latham offers an Independent Living setting that incorporates medical oversight uncommon in many communities of the same category. Residents who use oxygen equipment or who manage diabetes—whether with oral medications or insulin injections—find staff trained to monitor their needs and coordinate timely interventions. The community also accommodates individuals living with mild dementia, providing structure and supervision without moving them into a higher-acuity care tier.
Additional safeguards reinforce daily life. All employees undergo background checks, the activity director plans cognitive and social programs, and exterior doors are alarmed to deter unintended exits. In every apartment a pull-cord system links directly to 911, and on-site medication management helps residents keep prescriptions on schedule. Assistance can also be arranged for self-care tasks such as bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, allowing residents to stay in their own unit even when they need occasional hands-on help.
Apartments vary in size and layout, but many include a private bathroom, a kitchenette for light meal preparation, independent temperature controls, cable hookups, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Because floor plans differ, not every residence contains every listed feature; prospective residents should verify which elements are present in the unit they select.
Three meals are provided daily, and menus balance resident preferences with dietary guidelines set by the wellness team. Seasonal barbecues and outdoor picnics are scheduled when weather allows, giving residents alternatives to the main dining room and adding variety to the regular meal routine.
Hearthstone Village supplies resident parking, outside smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and on-site transportation for shopping and medical appointments. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and individual mailboxes in each building. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
