Ivy Lodge in Saugerties, NY delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with medical oversight designed for residents whose needs range from routine monitoring to advanced dementia support. The team is prepared for residents who wander in the morning or evening, attempt elopement, present combative or other behavioral concerns, stay up all night, require oxygen therapy, or manage strict dietary plans. Comprehensive diabetes care is available for those on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Residents under 60 years old can also be accommodated, and the community explicitly accepts advanced dementia diagnoses.
Clinical staffing and safety measures back up that medical focus. An RN or LPN is on the team, and a nurse is on call 24 hours a day. Staff members pass background checks, and an awake night shift maintains supervision. Activity professionals structure programs throughout the day, while safety features—fenced rear grounds, door alarms, in-room pull cords, and personal emergency response systems—help reduce risk. Full assistance is offered for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the staff can support mobility with walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, one-person, or two-person transfers.
Residential spaces include options with private bathrooms, furnished setups, independent temperature controls, and cable service. Residents may personalize their rooms with paint or décor changes. Availability of these features can vary by apartment type, so confirming specific amenities for any selected unit is recommended.
Dining services cover a set daily menu, an on-order alternative for added choice, and snacks accessible between meals. The kitchen can manage physician-ordered diets, diabetic meal plans, and other special nutritional requirements without extra charge.
Amenities round out daily living: resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, and pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
