The Chelsea at New City offers both Assisted Living and specialized Memory Care. Residents with wandering behaviors, whether they occur in the morning or evening, can be accommodated, and the community is prepared to manage elopement risks through secured areas and monitoring. Clinical support is also available for oxygen therapy, specialized diets, younger residents under 60, and diabetic residents who rely on oral medications or insulin injections. Because the team is trained in advanced dementia care techniques, families dealing with late-stage cognitive decline can rely on staff who are experienced in maintaining safety and managing complex behaviors.
Care delivery is backed by a licensed nurse on-site or on call around the clock, with additional oversight through background-checked caregivers who remain awake during the night shift. Pull cords and personal emergency response systems connect residents directly with staff in every apartment. Podiatry services are available in the building, and an Activity Director designs structured programs that match each resident’s cognitive and physical abilities. The team assists with bathing and dressing for residents who need full help, provides standby support at mealtimes, and offers some physical assistance for toileting. Transfers are supported for walkers, wheelchairs, one-person assists, and those who only need supervision.
Apartments vary, but may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furniture packages, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate personal spaces. Because floor plans differ, not every unit has every feature, so it is advisable to confirm details during a tour. Residents can choose between set menus and made-to-order meals, with snacks and physician-ordered diet modifications available throughout the day.
Meals are served in a communal dining room for social interaction, and staff monitor nutritional intake for anyone with special dietary needs such as diabetes or low-sodium requirements. Independent Living residents who still want medication oversight can enroll in medication-management monitoring, ensuring prescriptions are ordered on time and doses are taken as scheduled without shifting to the higher level of Assisted Living.
Residents have access to on-site parking, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, beauty salon, internet service, and landscaped gardens. Transportation services connect the community to local appointments, and public transit stops are nearby. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, the entire building is wheelchair accessible, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Regular religious services are held on site, providing another layer of convenience for residents who wish to worship without leaving the campus.
