Longview

Longview is an energetic assisted living community in Ithaca, New York. It is within alluring Tompkins County which is part of the Empire State.

Everything you’ll ever need is all under roof at Longview! With 100 spacious, open floor plan apartments, unlimited access to recreational programs and activities, full use of facilities, weekly housekeeping, your own balcony, and one meal per day in the restaurant-style dining room, you can’t help but feel at home!

To make living at Longview safe and comfortable, apartments and facilities are connected by carpeted, art-filled hallways with handrails along every surface, and emergency pull cords are located in the bedrooms and bathrooms that provide 24-hour emergency response and assistance by our professional staff.

We want you or your loved one to feel safe and comfortable as care needs rise. That’s why Assisted Living at Longview allows residents to maintain as much independence as possible but with the right amount of care. Each resident has a private suite with a living area and walk-in bathroom, equipped with three emergency pull-cords. Residents aides trained in first aid and CPR are on staff 24/7 to respond to emergencies, supervise medications and assist with showers, whirlpool baths and laundry.

Assisted Living residents must be essentially independent with activities of daily life. This means that a resident needs to be able to feed, toilet, ambulate, transfer and dress him or herself. Resident Aides assist with showers twice a week and a whirlpool bath once a week, if desired. Residents may use assistive devices or equipment (such as walkers and/or wheelchairs) as needed to maintain their independence.

Because safety and the well-being of residents comes first, a Registered Nurse (RN) and/or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is on duty and on-site at the residence 40 hours per week. In addition, a Registered Nurse is on-call and available for consultation seven days a week, 24 hours a day. A Registered Dietician and social worker are available during business hours for evaluation, admission and discharge information, case management, counseling and assistance with problem solving.

To keep residents’ minds active and bodies moving, recreational activities are scheduled daily. Residents have full use of the library, greenhouse, craft room, auditorium and chapel as well as the pool and exercise room (under supervision).

Three meals in our beautiful dining room are provided daily, along with snacks. Resident Aides will remind residents when it is time to eat, but the residents need to be able to get to the dining room on their own. An RA is present while residents are dining to provide minimal assistance and to respond in an emergency.

The Enhanced Assisted Living Suites at Longview are located in our the Garden Level. It’s attached to the main building, and is close to all of the great activities Longview has to offer. It even has its own dining room! Some of the services provided in enhanced assisted living include but are not limited to assistance with mobility, incontinency care and assistance with feeding, dressing and bathing.

We have a fully furnished one bedroom apartment available for short-term guest stays of families or friends visiting the Longview community.

Longview also offers respite options in our Assisted Living and Enhanced Assisted Living levels for those who meet criteria.
