Senior Citizens Council Inc on 159 Margaret St #104 in Plattsburgh, NY, offers seniors many living options, so there's a place for people who want to live on their own, need a little help, or require round-the-clock care, and they're known for using unique names for their features and services. There's independent living with things like condos, apartments, and townhomes, meant for active seniors who want a maintenance-free lifestyle, friendly neighbors, and access to amenities like a swimming pool, a fitness center, a bistro or boutique, and outdoor gardens filled with butterflies and hummingbirds, and folks can bring small pets if they fit the weight rules. Assisted living helps with things like bathing, dressing, meals, and medication, and offers activity rooms, in-room kitchens, and special diets, and the staff keeps things clean and friendly, with options for companion suites, shared and private dining, and weekly housekeeping.
The memory care communities have secure areas, staff trained to help people with memory loss, activities that help keep memories sharp, and wandering prevention, and skilled nursing supports folks who need more medical care, including wound care, rehab, and nursing help all day, with a nurse on staff and access to six area hospitals, close doctors' offices, and several pharmacies nearby. They've got Victory Place Senior Community, which sits inside a century-old building with woodwork and stained glass, and offers a homey feel, and the neighborhood board and care homes host a small number of folks, which means more personal attention for daily needs.
There are lots of amenities: ballrooms for events, a billiards lounge, a woodworking shop, movie rooms, computer labs, a beauty salon, raised garden beds, walking paths, check outside patio, and even guest services. Seniors get nutritious chef-planned meals, and reviews often mention the friendly and helpful staff, the quality of the activities, and the homelike setting, with awards for meals, activities, and kindness. The place is kept secure by a gated entrance, and they welcome family and guests, offer transportation for errands and appointments, and run outings to shops, parks, movies, cafes, churches like the Newman Center and St. Anne's Shrine, and even provide consultation for Virginia Benefits. There's a range of payment options, and folks get support with everything from medication management and physical therapy to grocery shopping and extra help as needed.
The community serves Plattsburgh and nearby towns like Burlington, Essex Junction, Shelburne, South Burlington, and Williston, and strives to meet different needs, whether that means simple apartments for healthy seniors, memory care, full nursing care, or even just some help at home from trained aides. Meals focus on nutrition, special diets are available, and seniors have access to plenty of social and recreational activities that engage both the mind and body, and maintenance and repairs are taken care of by the staff. Housing comes in 1, 2, or 3-bedroom layouts, and parking spots are covered or uncovered. There's a ballroom for dances and plenty of places to sit down for a talk or do crafts, read a book, or enjoy a movie. The Senior Citizens Council Inc puts community and personalized care at the forefront, always trying to make things feel welcoming and supportive for all who live there.
