South Shore Adult Foster Home, operated by Sammie Rogers in Albany, offers residential care for adults who require close medical oversight. The home accepts residents who wander at any hour, present elopement risk, or show combative or other behavioral challenges, and the team is trained to manage advanced dementia. Clinical support extends to wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetes management whether on oral medication, injections, or sliding scale coverage. Individuals under 60 who need this level of assistance are also considered, allowing the residence to serve a diverse medical population within a small-home setting.
Care delivery is backed by 24-hour staffing that includes an awake night shift, an additional night staff who can rest once residents are settled, door alarms, and a fenced rear area to prevent unsafe exits. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the staff can perform or support every level of transfer—from standby help with a walker to two-person lifts, mechanical Hoyer use, and total bed-bound care. These capabilities enable the home to keep residents in place as their mobility and ADL needs change.
Rooms come furnished, and many have independent climate controls, cable access, and the option for residents or families to repaint or add personal décor. Housekeeping is provided, but not every accommodation includes each of these features, so confirming specific room amenities during a visit is recommended.
Meals are prepared on a set menu with the option to order alternatives, and snacks are available throughout the day. In-room dining is offered when needed, and the kitchen staff follows physician-ordered diets ranging from gluten-free or vegetarian choices to mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid modifications for safe swallowing.
The property is wheelchair accessible throughout common areas and resident rooms, and it is situated close to public transportation for convenient family visits and medical appointments.
