Why Discovery Senior Living Communities Stand Out for Quality Care

Written by Poughkeepsie | May 5, 2025 4:00:00 AM

A good test of whether somewhere is retirement-friendly is to look at whether other retirees are heading there. Poughkeepsie passes that test with flying colors. The latest reports suggest that this quiet community by the Hudson River experienced a 24% increase in its senior population between 2019 and 2023.

There is another fantastic reason to move here, and that's The Landing of Poughkeepsie, a friendly, active Discovery Senior Living community. Read on to learn more about the fantastic amenities and services we have to offer in this part of New York.

Tailored Assisted Living in Poughkeepsie

We have two support options available at The Landing of Poughkeepsie. These are:

  • Assisted Living
  • Memory Care

Assisted living is for those who need some additional daily support, like help with getting dressed. Memory care is more specialized and is designed for those with memory loss conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia.

All residents, whether assisted living or memory care, will receive the same high standard of support that's tailored to their needs. These plans are adaptable, too, so they will change if a resident's needs evolve, and we regularly review them to ensure they are still a good fit for each resident.

Professional care support from an experienced team gives residents at The Landing of Poughkeepsie dignity in their senior years and allows them to live an enjoyable and rich life within our vibrant community.

Activities That Bring Joy to the Community

Our community is lively and fun, thanks to our ever-changing schedule of activities. We offer social events and workshops that help support residents' wellness goals, and there is a wide range to suit everyone's tastes, such as:

  • Music workshops
  • Arts and crafts
  • Reading groups
  • Meditation sessions
  • Evening events
  • Card and board games
  • Quiz and movie nights

If you don't want to join in a pre-arranged activity, you can always head to one of our communal areas, like our lounge, for a conversation and catch-up with a friend. Our philosophy is to create a warm and friendly environment where residents feel safe and no one ever experiences a sense of isolation.

Comfortable Apartments and Spacious Communal Areas

Every aspect of The Landing of Poughkeepsie has been designed with purpose, with the goal of creating a community that energizes seniors and provides a welcome retreat where they can unwind.

Our private apartments are spacious and feature modern, tasteful interiors. We have studios, suites, and one-bedroom apartments.

We also have many on-site amenities designed to offer convenience to residents, such as our salon, library, and in-house pharmacy. We also have a beautifully landscaped outdoor space, perfect for residents who want to unwind, chat with a friend or two, or take a gentle walk.

One of the advantages of community living is that it provides a stress-free lifestyle. You have someone who will take care of the housekeeping and maintenance, leaving you more time to enjoy your retirement lifestyle in Poughkeepsie.

An Active Senior Lifestyle

An active lifestyle is something many residents embrace, and our community offers various ways you can look after your health and wellness. We have a range of classes as part of our activity schedule, and you might find options such as:

  • Low-impact aerobics
  • Chair yoga
  • Meditation and mindfulness

Spiritual health is equally important here at The Landing of Poughkeepsie, where you'll find plenty of quiet spaces where you can reflect or worship.

Staff also arrange educational programs to help you embrace a healthy senior lifestyle. You might learn more about valuable health-related topics such as stress reduction techniques, cardiovascular health, or nutrition.

Delicious Dining Options

If you love the idea of restaurant-style dining every day, that's a perfect fit for The Landing of Poughkeepsie. Our chef-prepared meals can often be a highlight of a resident's day, with delicious and varied food that caters to all tastes.

Our menus are balanced and nutritious, and cooked from scratch using the highest quality, freshest ingredients. We also cater to different dietary needs, whether that's a lifestyle choice like vegan food or a doctor-prescribed diet such as low-fat.

Dining is in our elegant, high-ceiling dining room, and you'll get friendly tableside service from our staff, meaning you can sit back and relax. It's also a fantastic social occasion, and somewhere many residents enjoy meeting with neighbors for a lively lunchtime conversation or a quiet, relaxed evening meal.

Our attentive staff are always there to make senior life easier for you at The Landing of Poughkeepsie.

For example, you can reach out to us for help getting a video call set up so you can speak to family, saving you the worry of having to stay on the phone with a technical service team. Or you might need help booking a table at a local restaurant or handling a delivery. Our team is a trusted, friendly face.
