Tappan assisted living nursing home is a skilled nursing facility offering on-site skilled care, with staff able to help with daily living like dressing, bathing, and medication management, and they've also got support for both assisted living and memory care needs in one community, which is helpful for couples or friends who need different levels of care. The community tries to build strong friendships and a sense of belonging among residents, and there are regular daily activities, social gatherings, outings, and a focus on making life feel as full as possible, so folks can enjoy themselves and stay active if they want. For those needing a break, the respite care program lets caregivers rest while their loved one stays short-term and receives the same level of care.
The staff provides nursing support for 12 to 16 hours each day, and there's a 24-hour call system, so help's always nearby. Memory care is a big part of what they do, with specialized support for Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia in a safe area that has features like a well-lit hallway with decorative carpet, flowers, and small tables, plus a memory care community called Evergreen for those who need extra help, with comfortable armchairs, a built-in entertainment center, and programs meant to reduce confusion and wandering. Assisted living options let residents keep their independence but still get daily help where needed, with meals, medication reminders, and personal care provided. Those who want to stay active can join community-run clubs, scheduled trips, and field outings, and there's a full-time activity director to make sure there's always something to do, whether in the garden, gaming room, library, or computer center.
Apartments have private bathrooms, air-conditioning, kitchenettes, and tasteful, comfortable furnishings, so residents can relax in their own space, and the facility itself features community spaces like a dining room with white linens and chandeliers, a lounge and bar area, a community theater with plush seating and a popcorn machine, and a big foyer with lots of natural light and modern decor. Meals come restaurant-style, with special diets available like diabetes-friendly menus and help for dietary restrictions, and residents can eat in elegant dining rooms or in private dining areas if they want more quiet. There's a wellness center, a beauty salon with hair and nail care, and even concierge services for coordinating extra needs or appointments, along with community-operated transportation for rides to medical visits or shopping.
Tappan assisted living nursing home welcomes cats and dogs as pets, offers on-site devotional services, and supports spiritual needs.
