Overview of High Point Center for Care

High Point Center for Care sits on the Purchase College campus at 300 West Loop Road in Purchase, Westchester County. The setting connects residents to cultural, educational, and social resources through the college community. The 68-bed adult home is operated by Purchase Senior Learning Community Inc. and provides assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care.

Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the facility around the clock. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehabilitation are available, and memory care runs as a distinct track alongside assisted living. Three meals are prepared by chefs daily, with snacks available at any hour.

The named programs here range from daily wellness and fitness, cultural events, educational opportunities, to social events and community engagement, and are rooted in the college campus context rather than a standard activity calendar. That connection to Purchase College is the defining structural feature of this community.

The Walk Score is 13, which is car-dependent, so families and residents should plan for vehicle access. New York’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care has reviewed areas including care planning and documentation through its inspection process. High Point is not Medicare-certified; payment options should be confirmed directly.

High Point Center for Care is a campus-based assisted living adult home in Westchester County with four care levels and 24-hour nurse staffing. The Purchase College setting and the programming in wellness, cultural engagement, and education are what distinguish it from other adult homes in the county.

Overview of Sapphire Nursing at Meadow Hill

Sixty-two of the 190 beds at Sapphire Nursing at Meadow Hill are set aside specifically for Alzheimer’s and memory care. That’s not a footnote; it’s nearly a third of the building. The facility sits at 172 Meadow Hill Road in Newburgh, Orange County, run by Newburgh Operations, LLC, in a neighborhood that scores 86 on the Walk Score index. Very walkable, in practical terms: groceries, a pharmacy, most day-to-day errands don’t require getting in a car.

Occupancy sits at 96 percent, with 182 of 190 beds filled. A number that high on a facility this size usually means steady demand rather than a building working to fill vacancies. Sapphire runs two tracks at once. Short-term rehabilitation covers people recovering from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay, while long-term nursing care covers residents who need ongoing support. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy sit underneath the rehab side of that equation.

The staffing numbers tell their own story. Registered nurses average 28 minutes per resident each day, licensed practical nurses another 28, and nurse aides just over two hours, landing at a combined 3 hours of nursing time per resident daily. Named programming includes cardiac care, dietary care, certified dementia care, and a recreation activities schedule, layered onto the facility’s short-term and long-term care structure.

New York’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care, is the regulator reviewing this facility, and its inspection history has tended to focus on emergency preparedness. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, so the financial pathway into the building isn’t limited to one type of coverage.

What emerges is a facility built around two distinct populations under one roof: rehab patients cycling through on a short-term basis, and a substantial dedicated memory care population getting longer-term, dementia-specific support, all sitting in one of the more walkable corners of Orange County.

The facility has an occupancy rate of 92%. Residents stay an average of 99 days, including rehabilitation patients and residents needing ongoing skilled nursing support.

Rehabilitation and therapy services are central to the facility’s care model. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available daily. Specialized programs include subacute post-operative care, complex medical care, respiratory care, IV therapy, pain management, and restorative care. Memory care and palliative care programs are also available.

Nurse staffing averages 2 hours and 45 minutes per resident each day. Residents also have access to on-site dental, podiatry, and optometry services.

Beyond clinical care, there are recreational activities, therapy programs, and concierge services. Residents can choose between private and semi-private room accommodations.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in New York

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New York?

Assisted living in New York supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does New York Medicaid cover memory care?

New York Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including New York) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 376 memory care communities in New York. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in New York?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New York, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in New York?
