Westchester Center for Independent & Assisted Living

The Assisted Living Program is certified by the New York State Department of Health to provide Medicaid-funded home care services to people eligible for nursing home care.

Care services come from an on-site licensed home care agency run by the adult home and a contracted certified home health agency.

Staff help with dressing, bathing, medication management, laundry, housekeeping and case management, and arrange transportation for appointments and doctor visits.

The community states that it accepts Medicare and Medicaid recipients.

Accommodations include private and semi-private rooms, studio apartments and suites.

Each resident room has a bathroom with courtesy toiletries, a kitchenette and an individual thermostat for heating and cooling, with housekeeping and laundry services provided.

Residents have three daily meals of chef-inspired cuisine, with menu options that include diets low in fat, sugar and sodium.

The Country Café is open around the clock with drinks and light snacks, and a private dining room is available for birthdays, anniversaries and family gatherings.

The Therapeutic Recreation department provides residents with a full schedule of activities.

Each community has its own sitting area and activity room, with wireless internet throughout, and the building includes a library with a fireplace, an in-house gym, a salon and a movie theater.

Spacious, landscaped grounds offer room for leisurely strolls outdoors.

The community is at 78 Stratton St S in Yonkers, New York, on a hilltop in a quiet residential neighborhood just minutes from New York City.
