This is a paid advertisement published in the April 6, 2017 issue of The Altamont Enterprise.

Westhaven, an Enhanced Assisted Living Residence, is pleased to announce that it will be opening on April 17. Westhaven Assisted Living Residence is a newly licensed 16-bed, enhanced assisted living facility located at 5 Gipp Road in Guilderland.

Westhaven embodies a new concept in senior care. Our small home-like setting allows for our residents to receive personal, individualized care that you might not see in other assisted or enhanced assisted living settings, and for many, Westhaven is an excellent alternative to a nursing home.

Our Enhanced Assisted Living licensure allows our residents the ability to age in place, long after they exceed the need for traditional assisted living services. Our all-inclusive approach means that our residents can expect the highest level of care and service based upon their changing needs, with peace of mind that there will always be a guarantee of a set monthly fee.

Below is a brief overview of the services and amenities we can provide at Westhaven:

— 24 hour on-site medical staff and supervision comprised of an RN, LPNs, and HHAs;

— Personal assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting;

— Assistance with transfer and ambulation, including mechanical lifts;

— Skilled nursing services such as wound care, colostomy, and catheter care;

— Medication management, including injectable medications and blood glucose monitoring;

— Private, semi-private, and companion suites available;

— Three chef prepared meals and snacks given daily. Accommodating each individual resident’s dietary needs, overseen by our Registered Dietician;

— Persona/laundry, maintenance, and housekeeping services;

— On-site case management and coordination of care with primary care physicians, specialists, OT/PT, speech, and audiology therapists. This also includes transportation to and from doctor’s appointments; and

— Coordinated activity programs tailored to each resident’s individual interests or needs.

We are very excited to introduce Westhaven Assisted Living Residence to the community and we hope that we can be of service to families who are looking to place their loved one in a setting that they can call home. We are now accepting applications so don’t delay! For further information or to schedule a tour, please contact our Nurse Administrator, Mandy at (518)869-2950 or via email at .
