Brandywine Living at the Savoy delivers three levels of residency—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—under one roof in Little Neck, NY. The community is equipped to support residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement risks, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, or live with advanced dementia. Clinical protocols cover oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management, whether the resident uses oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Adults under 60 who require these services are also eligible for admission, allowing the community to manage a broad range of medical profiles without separating couples or age groups.
Round-the-clock clinical coverage includes an RN or LPN on every shift and an awake night staff, reinforced by background-checked caregivers, an on-site therapy room, and multiple emergency-alert systems—pull cords in apartments and wearable PERS devices. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the staff is trained in transfers that range from standby support to two-person or bed-bound moves. These resources help the community keep residents with high care needs in place rather than sending them to higher levels of institutional care.
Apartments are offered in several layouts, some featuring private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, furnished options, and cable service; not every unit contains every feature, so it is best to confirm during a tour. Housekeeping is included, and maintenance takes care of routine fixes, giving residents freedom from daily chores and home upkeep.
Dining services offer both a set menu and on-order selections at each meal, with snacks available throughout the day and a private dining room for family visits or special occasions. The culinary team manages diet modifications such as mechanical-chopped meals, purées, thickened liquids, vegetarian choices, and physician-ordered restrictions. Independent Living residents can opt for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan that scales up or down based on how often they wish to cook in their own kitchenettes.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, a wellness center, communal gardens, a library, concierge services, and scheduled religious services. Transportation is provided for appointments and outings, and the building is near public transit for added convenience. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, and well-behaved pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
