Braemar Living at Wallkill offers three levels of residency—assisted living, residential care home and a secured memory-care program—so residents can remain in the same community as care needs change. The team is trained to work with people who wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, follow special diets, are younger than 60, or manage diabetes with oral medication or insulin injections. Support extends to the most advanced stages of dementia, and individualized care plans are updated as medical conditions evolve.
Round-the-clock clinical oversight is anchored by registered and licensed practical nurses on site 24 hours a day, backed by routine background checks for all staff and an awake overnight team. The building is secured with door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, pull-cord and personal emergency response systems, and staff are trained for one- and two-person transfers as well as walker or wheelchair assistance. Full help with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting is available, and residents can see visiting podiatrists without leaving the campus. The community also accepts individuals with psychiatric diagnoses, and an activity director designs structured programs that align with each person’s cognitive and physical abilities.
Apartments vary by layout and features: some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls and cable service, while others are furnished and ready for personal touches such as painting or decorating. Residents may bring their own furniture if preferred, and maintenance handles routine repairs so rooms remain safe and comfortable.
Meals are prepared by the culinary staff and served on a set schedule, yet an on-order option is available for residents who prefer something different. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and the kitchen team coordinates closely with clinical staff to manage diabetic, low-sodium, pureed and other doctor-ordered diets.
Residents have access to on-site parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet connectivity, communal gardens and regularly scheduled religious services. Community transportation is provided for medical appointments and errands, and the property is located near public transit for added convenience.
