The Landing of Poughkeepsie offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming and staff training designed to meet the clinical and behavioral needs that often accompany each level of support. Residents who wander—whether during the day or at night—are monitored, and protocols are in place for elopement risk and other behavioral concerns. Oxygen management, special diets, and diabetic care (oral medications, injections, sliding-scale insulin) are available, as is admission for adults under 60 who need support. The Memory Care neighborhood is equipped to accommodate individuals with moderate dementia and the behaviors that can accompany cognitive decline.

Licensed nurses are on-site or on call around the clock, backed by background-checked caregivers who remain awake overnight. Podiatry visits occur on site, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses who require ongoing oversight. Safety is supported by secure doors with alarms, fenced outdoor areas, pull-cord systems, and personal emergency response devices that alert staff. Direct care assistance covers full help with bathing and dressing, some physical help with eating and toileting, and safe transfers using walkers, wheelchairs, standby support, or a one-person pivot. An activity director coordinates daily engagement that fits each resident’s care plan.

Living spaces include studios and one-bedroom layouts; some have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls, furnishings, cable hookups, or the option to paint and decorate. Because floor plans vary, not every apartment contains every feature, and availability depends on move-in timing.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered diets, with snacks offered throughout the day. Independent Living residents can access medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan that provides flexibility while maintaining nutritional oversight.

Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, full wheelchair accessibility, and transportation for medical appointments and errands. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services round out daily life options. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
