Overview of The Brielle

The Brielle runs three care types in Staten Island, NY. Those are assisted living, respite care, and memory care.

At the assisted living level, bathing, dressing, and medication are assisted by staff, and the resident’s apartment stays their own. Memory care is the same thing but with added supervision and security, for when wandering risks need a resident put there. Respite care is a short stay taken for when the person who normally is in charge of providing care can’t do so.

A resident whose situation shifts moves up a level and stays in the building rather than moving to a new community to find care. The bed count is 188, and housing is available in either studio or one-bedroom units. The smaller of those two is a single private space, while a one-bedroom keeps the bedroom separate from the rest of the apartment. Pets are welcome.
