Diamond Rock Terrace in Troy, NY is an Independent Living residence that can accommodate a range of common medical needs. The community can handle oxygen use, prepares physician-ordered special diets, and supervises both oral and injectable diabetic medications. Residents with mild dementia can be supported so long as their needs remain within the scope of the Independent Living setting. An on-site podiatry service is available by appointment, giving residents routine access to foot care without leaving the building.

Daily oversight is provided by staff members who have completed background checks, and a full-time activity director coordinates structured programming. Personnel are on site around the clock, and every apartment is equipped with a pull-cord system that connects directly to 911 for emergencies. Staff are available for stand-by or cueing assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when residents need limited help but still perform these tasks primarily on their own.

Apartments vary in layout and features. Some units include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual temperature controls, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate; however, not every apartment offers every feature listed. Community dining serves three meals a day, and menus can be adjusted to accommodate dietary restrictions such as low-sodium, controlled carbohydrate, or other physician-directed plans. For residents who prefer to handle light meals on their own, kitchenettes—when present—provide that flexibility. Weekly laundry service is included for Independent Living residents.

Meals are served in a communal dining room with assigned seating available on request. The culinary staff adheres to diet orders while offering standard menu choices and alternate selections at each meal. Snacks are stocked in a common area for residents who wish to eat between scheduled dining times. Table service is provided, and staff monitor intake for residents with physician-ordered nutritional goals.

Residents have access to off-street parking, and scheduled transportation can be arranged for shopping, medical appointments, and community outings. The property is wheelchair accessible and has an exercise room, internet throughout the building, and landscaped communal gardens. Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. On-site religious services are held regularly to meet different faith preferences.
