Ingersoll Place in Schenectady provides both Assisted Living and dedicated Memory Care, allowing residents with a range of needs—from basic daily support to advanced dementia—to remain on the same campus. The community manages challenging behaviors such as wandering in the morning or evening, elopement risk, and complex diabetic regimens, including oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale dosing. Residents who require oxygen therapy or ongoing wound care can also be accommodated without the need to relocate to a higher level of care.
Care delivery is coordinated by RNs and LPNs on site, with a nurse on call around the clock for changes in condition. All staff members undergo background checks, and an awake night team monitors residents, aided by pull-cord alerts, a personal emergency response system, and a fenced rear yard for added security. On-site podiatry services and a therapy room reduce the need for outside appointments. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and caregivers are trained in one-person transfers, helping residents remain as mobile and safe as possible.
Apartments offer a mix of features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, independent temperature controls, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry. Because floor plans vary, not every unit includes every listed feature, so prospective residents and families should verify specific layouts during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu designed to address common dietary requirements, and snacks are available throughout the day. A private dining room is reserved for family gatherings or special occasions, allowing residents to celebrate events without leaving the community.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, communal gardens, and a library. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach local appointments, shopping, and events, extending their independence beyond the campus.
