Heritage Home For Women: 150 Years of Care

For over 150 years, the Heritage Home For Women has offered assisted living services for women in the Schenectady, NY, area. This unique community is a non-profit and uses generous donations to keep rates low for women and families with modest incomes. Even with these reasonable costs, Heritage Home For Women offers an incredible level of service. There are 32 staff members for the 36 seniors here, so residents receive an exceptional level of care, and they make it their mission to turn each day into something special. They lead seniors in modified golf and bowling games, help them set up their gardens, and design activities like trivia games, poetry readings, pet therapy, and live entertainment. The community also offers gentle walking paths, a new gazebo and a spacious front porch. 

The women here enjoy an active lifestyle that includes excursions to attractions in the area. Some resident favorites include Central Park, the Museum of Innovation & Science and the Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady.
