The Athenaeum of Skaneateles provides two primary levels of care: Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who need help with daily activities receive support tailored to their individual routines, while those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive conditions benefit from a secure, structured Memory Care program designed to reinforce familiarity and reduce anxiety. Short-term stays for respite care are also accepted, giving family caregivers a break or allowing residents to recover after hospitalization before returning home.

Medical oversight is organized around on-site professionals and coordinated specialty services. Physical therapists address mobility goals, and diabetes care protocols cover monitoring, diet guidance, and medication timing. Licensed nurses are on campus, backed by an emergency call system that alerts staff around the clock. Residents can arrange speech and occupational therapy, podiatry visits, ambulatory and incontinence care, and hospice support when needed. Medication management is delivered in accordance with physician orders, and the community works with outside providers to keep treatment plans current.

Apartment options range from private studios to companion suites, and selections may include features such as Wi-Fi, housekeeping service, or in-unit parking access, though not every unit offers every feature. Many residences open to landscaped grounds or a secure outdoor garden where residents can walk pets, while indoor common areas give space for visitors and personal hobbies.

Daily dining consists of three chef-prepared meals served in a communal setting, with menu choices that accommodate therapeutic diets and physician-ordered restrictions. Healthy snacks are stocked throughout the day, and staff track nutritional intake for residents who need weight monitoring or diabetes management. Flexible meal times help residents coordinate therapy sessions without missing scheduled nutrition.

The community maintains an activity center for structured programs, a library and computer lounge for independent use, and organized clubs that encourage social connections. Regular social outings keep residents involved with local events, and the campus design allows safe access to outdoor areas for fresh air and exercise.
