The Madison Avenue House provides assisted living services designed to help residents with daily activities while supporting changing health needs. Short-term respite stays are available, giving family caregivers relief or allowing prospective residents to sample the community. Ongoing diabetes care includes blood-glucose monitoring and medication oversight, and an on-site physical therapy program helps improve strength and mobility after illness or injury. Certified speech therapists are also on hand for residents who require assistance with communication or swallowing.
Clinical coverage extends well beyond basic support. An emergency call system links residents to staff at any hour, and licensed nurses manage routine health checks, wound care and medication administration. The community can accommodate transitions between assisted and independent living levels and offers a dedicated memory-care neighborhood for residents with cognitive decline. In-house podiatry and dentistry visits, incontinence and ambulatory assistance, and coordinated hospice services reduce the need for outside appointments, while laundry and dry-cleaning services are handled by the staff.
Living options include studio and efficiency layouts as well as ground-floor units with private patios, decks or balconies. Many residences feature wheelchair-accessible showers, bathtubs, air conditioning, cable television and in-unit washers and dryers, though not every apartment contains every listed feature. Common areas offer handicap-accessible pathways, a central fireplace, outdoor gardens, parking and a library with computer access. Designated homes are pet-friendly, cats are allowed, and scheduled housekeeping keeps spaces tidy.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served three times daily, with all-day dining and room-service options for added flexibility. Menus accommodate kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free and low-sodium requirements, ensuring residents with specific medical or cultural diets are supported. Snacks and beverages remain available throughout the day to complement regular meals.
Residents can take part in an activity calendar that includes an arts and crafts center, bingo, yoga classes, fitness programs, TV and movie nights and live music performances. Day trips, social outings, wine tastings, birthday and holiday parties and swimming in the community pool add variety, while clubs and special interest groups help newcomers make connections.
