When George Latimer, Westchester County Director and Greenburgh city supervisor Paul Feiner, led a contingent of supporters at the opening on September 24 of The Chelsea in Greenburgh, the elderly network at 715 Dobbs Ferry Road, the facility was still awaiting final approval from New York State. that would allow citizens to start moving. The 101-unit community designed to provide a full range of housing characteristics for seniors, ranging from independent living to assisted living and memory care, while helping to satisfy the medical desires of citizens who are not yet a nursing home.
“Looking around the building doesn’t necessarily seem like the point of focus is all that high because it looks like a sumptuous network,” said Suzanne Stephans, network outreach director for The Chelsea in Greenburgh, a business magazine that did scale in early October. “It’s a game changer because we are gathering the wishes of seniors who want a beautiful home and a lovely network with a busy social calendar in our activities department, but who also want attention.
Chelsea in Greenburgh is a component of an elderly community organization operated through the Chelsea Management Group. It lists 14 senior accommodation locations in New Jersey, five in New York and also has a facility in Warren, New Jersey, for others with special needs. The company’s CEO, who has been in lifestyles for more than 30 years, is Herbert Heflich, has a 50-year career in elder care management.
In 2011, the city of Greenburgh acquired the 6. 89-acre assets of Dobbs Ferry Road in a foreclosure of taxes due to taxes on unpaid assets through owner Franks Nursery.
In December 2017, CSH filed an assignment at the site that it called Stonegate in Greenburgh. As the newly completed residential network for the elderly, it had 101 sets in a three-story, 90,651-square-foot building. quarter 2019 At the time of opening, the allocation structure fee is estimated at $35 million.
“We are delighted to build our first senior network in Up with New York State and bring a senior network to the historic city of Greenburgh,” said Scott Stewart, CSH managing partner at the time.
Later, when he opened an senior apartment assignment in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, in April 2019, which he had built and operated through Chelsea Senior Living, CSH said Chelsea would also operate in building networks for seniors in Greenburgh.
“We have a nurse titled here. We also offer a telemedicine program, so if you don’t feel well, you can see a doctor,” Stephans said. “We work in partnership with a company called CCS and CCS is a care provider for its doctors to enter and be the caregivers of our residents.
Stephans noted that the final touch of Chelsea’s structure and opening arrangements in Greenburgh, the Covid-19 pandemic, raised unforeseen challenges.
“It was quite a journey, with ups and downs galore. We were destined to open our construction as soon as Covid returned to the fireplace in March. The construction has been closed,” Stephans said, was empty, locked up. Then we started staffing; we continue to attract people. Now we’re in a position to leave. Our boss, our lifestyle manager, our staff, our caregivers, are all on board. He said the whole squad was about a hundred people.
“Because it’s a newly built logo, nothing had to be modernized for Covid,” Stephans said. “Our filtration system; I need to get this for my house. We had to find out about the evidence and some medical data they had it’s never been our duty before. We all had to be recycled and re-educated, however, we have consistent meetings and educational sessions. As this pandemic progresses, we need to know what is happening. We’re not defensive about Covid anymore. Now we’re on the offensive.
Stephans said that while Chelsea in Greenburgh operate in the Covid era, it will try to empower older citizens by exposing them to a full life.
“I realized what being locked in an apartment for months has done to so many older people and is surely heartbreaking,” Stephans said.
Among the many features of the new facility are a library, a pub and a sports hall, a cinema, a beauty salon and a hairdresser, a veranda, landscape paths, a terrace and gardens. There are also a number of two-bedroom apartments in the combination of units. Stephanie said one of the clients in a two-bedroom unit told her she was looking for an extra room for her clothes.
“Some other people who come here to stop at the facility are very concerned about Covid, but the maximum isn’t,” Stephans said. “They learned to adapt or just said, “You know what, life goes on. We want attention, for Mom and Dad, and we have to get on with it until there’s a vaccine. “Now, as things get a little open, other people are testing the waters. So it’s positive. “
