The Sentinel At Rockland in Montebello, NY delivers three levels of housing and care—assisted living, independent living, and residential care home—so residents can select the amount of daily support they need. The community is licensed to serve adults under 60 and is equipped to manage diabetes through oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale dosing. It is not configured for memory-care programming, so prospective residents with dementia will want to consider other options.
Clinical oversight is anchored by an RN or LPN on site and a nurse on call around the clock, with an awake night team and pull-cord alert system ensuring prompt response. Residents benefit from on-site podiatry, audiology, and dental providers, which limits the need for outside appointments. Staff can give some physical help with bathing and dressing, offer standby supervision for eating and toileting, and assist with transfers involving walkers or wheelchairs. All employees undergo background checks, and an activity director coordinates daily engagement.
Living quarters range in size and layout; many include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnishings, individual climate controls, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and linen services are provided on a routine schedule. Because floor plans differ, not every unit features every listed amenity, so it is advisable to verify details during a tour.
Daily meals follow a set menu prepared to meet general nutritional guidelines, with accommodations for common clinical diets such as diabetic-friendly choices. Snacks are kept available outside regular dining hours for residents who prefer smaller, more frequent meals.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, a fully wheelchair-accessible campus, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, internet access, concierge service, and a variety of special-interest clubs. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Scheduled transportation is offered for medical appointments, shopping trips, and group outings.
