Successfully Age in Place at the North Country's Only Enhanced Assisted Living & Dementia Care Community

Enhanced Assisted Living: A Higher Level of Care


Our assisted living & dementia care community offers the only enhanced assisted living license in the Adirondacks as well as throughout the greater Plattsburgh area. Champlain Valley Senior Community's enhanced license enables our caring and friendly staff to administer a higher level of nursing care than a typical assisted living and memory care residence, effectively bridging the gap between traditional assisted living and nursing homes. In our Community, as individual needs increase, our licensed staff are able to perform a variety of nursing home services including diabetic care & management, oxygen management, incontinence management, transfer and ambulation assistance, medical equipment management including catheter and colostomy care, feeding assistance, wound care and nursing assessments, among other skilled nursing services.  
 

Dementia Care for the Greater Plattsburgh Area


Our secure memory care center is designed specially for residents with Alzheimer's and other memory impairments. With an intimate, purposeful design, the unit offers a homelike setting and features elevated staffing levels for around-the-clock supervision & assistance, along with a diverse activities program. We understand that each individual has distinct needs and preferences and we work to maintain every resident's independence, foster a culture of personal choice and ensure a sense of safety and security. The supportive memory care environment enables residents with dementia to continue to experience the joys of friendship as they bond with compassionate and sensitive caregivers, attend supervised events and outings in the community, and participate in daily activities – all of which are designed to maximize the physical, mental and emotional health of our residents.

Maximize Quality of Life

When living independently is no longer a safe option for you or a loved one, rest assured that our one-of-a-kind assisted living community is the next best option. Occupying the former Willsboro Grade School building that was originally built in 1927, the Champlain Valley Senior Community underwent a full renovation and total transformation before opening again in summer 2013.

Today, this beautiful riverfront community provides a full range of personal care services including skilled nursing services and secure memory care featuring bright spacious resident suites - all paired with delicious daily meals, entertaining activities and outings, and a team of dedicated care staff to help meet your individual needs.

The staff team here really extends themselves to our loved one, our loved one there is a flight risk and they made sure to get her a room not by a door. The people really work with our loved one, you know one size does not fit all with memory care and they have really worked with her. Our loved one definitely keeps the staff team on their toes and gives them a run for their money.

Highly recommend, great facility!
We found that anything that was going on as far as any issues problems they had, they were right ton top of it. They took care of things quickly, they checked on my parents frequently, and there was nothing we had to wait for a resolution on. I would absolutely recommend Champlain Valley to other families looking.

My mother and I were both very pleased with the amazing staff and the high quality of services they provided to me as a family member and to my mother as a resident. CVSC leadership and staff are well trained and dedicated to the happiness and well being of the residents. This is a rare community of well trained caring people. You won’t find better anywhere else!

Family Member of Resident
My family moved our mom to CVSC in mid-2019. Over the past 2+ years, we have become acquainted with the staff and I have found communication to be easy. They work hard to provide good care and any problems have been quickly resolved. My mom has often said: β€œThey are kind to me here.” We are fortunate to have found CVSC.

Respite Care Services

While it is important to be there and present for your family member as a caregiver, you cannot if you are having physical and mental setbacks, losing sleep, and have no time outside of the home for hobbies or interests. Temporary relief of caregiver responsibilities can make a world of difference.
