Anna Erika Assisted Living in Staten Island, NY provides an assisted living level of support with a clear medical focus. The staff can manage special diets, all forms of diabetic care—oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin—and accepts residents under 60 when clinically appropriate. Care plans are in place for people living with moderate dementia, and on-site practitioners handle podiatry, audiology, and dental needs, limiting outside travel for routine checks. Health monitoring and coordination with outside physicians occur as needed to keep changes in condition from going unnoticed.
Staffing and safety measures are structured for constant oversight. Employees undergo background checks, an awake night shift is always on duty, and an activity director organizes appropriate daily programming. Pull cords in resident areas alert staff immediately, and a fenced rear section reduces wandering risk. The team offers some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can support transfers that involve walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, or a one-person lift. Twenty-four-hour staffing helps residents remain as independent as their condition allows.
Rooms vary in layout and amenities; many include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, individual temperature controls, and cable service, with housekeeping provided on a schedule. Because not every unit contains every feature, prospective residents and families should confirm which items are present in the specific accommodation they are considering.
Dining follows a set menu designed to meet general nutrition standards and physician-ordered diets, including diabetic protocols. Pureed meals, thickened liquids, and between-meal snacks are available for residents who need them. Staff can provide some physical assistance at the table to help ensure adequate intake and adherence to dietary guidelines.
Resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and an outdoor smoking zone are on site. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge support, and special-interest clubs. The building is close to public transportation, making it easier for residents and visitors to reach off-site appointments and leisure activities.
