It was 36 years ago that Kingsway Arms Nursing Center opened. The year was 1975 – when Jaws was the movie hit of the summer. Since that time, Kingsway has been providing quality care and a meaningful life for residents specializing in emphasizing an individual’s highest level of functioning within a safe, comfortable living environment.
The self-contained, 25-acre Kingsway Community campus is family-owned and operated. Whether living independently, in assisted living, or requiring skilled nursing or short-term rehabilitation, each resident can expect a variety of benefits and services from a dedicated staff of warm, caring professionals.
Memory Care Center: Where quality of life is priority
Kingsway recognizes that each resident has individual and specific needs relating to their medical, physical, emotional and social well-being. Therefore, the new 20-person Memory Care Center, located within Kingsway Manor Assisted Living Residence, was thoughtfully designed to maximize independence and increase quality of life for those with early to mid-stage dementia. Private, well-appointed rooms include care services such as: assistance with personal care needs, medication assistance, cueing and reminders, flexible bathing/shower schedules, and coordination of radiological, laboratory, psychological and podiatric services. A country kitchen, nutritious meals and snacks, comfortable lounges, gathering areas and a landscaped courtyard beckon residents to socialize and share in life’s daily activities. Intergenerational programs with the children from Kingsway Kids Center enrich the lives of both residents and children alike. Compassionate staff provide support with a family focus to assure peace of mind. Most importantly, residents feel safe and well cared for.
Independent living apartments: Experience the good life at Kingsway
Kingsway Community is more than senior living, it is a lifestyle. In addition to a skilled nursing/rehabilitation center and assisted living residence, the Schenectady campus offers three separate apartment buildings for independent seniors, each providing different services. Services range from simple maintenance and transportation to fine dining, linen service and the potential for a full social calendar. The financial requirements of each remain uniquely different as well – not only building-to-building but from other community options in the Capital Region.
For seniors who have spent too many years alone or been responsible for a household, community living brings welcome relief. Residents quickly discover a whole new world awaits them – a world of social events, education programs and meals guaranteed to please the palate. The benefits of congregate living and that sense of belonging that comes from having others care is only the beginning. The additional security of knowing that priority placement at a health care facility on campus can take place when the need arises is one more component of Kingsway’s services.
While initially the challenge of a move may seem over-whelming, once the destination has been chosen, the rest falls nicely into place. Residents soon find that the environment created at Kingsway ensures friends are made, burdens shared and days are more carefree.
