Does Kittay Senior Apartments provide any health care or personal care services?

Kittay is an independent senior housing building and does not provide any health care or personal care services. However tenants have access to a broad range of optional services from other providers, right on site at Kittay.

Unlike Assisted Living facilities, where tenants pay for health and care services whether they use them or not, at Kittay tenants pay third-party providers for only those services they need and want.

Among the services available at Kittay Senior Apartments from third party providers are:

  • Physicians’ offices on-site
  • Primary and specialty physicians who come to Kittay on a scheduled basis to see their patients
  • Certified Home Health Aide and Companion services
  • Care Management services from professional geriatric care managers, who will assist in finding and coordinating services that can help tenants stay safe, healthy and independent

Kittay staff can provide contact information for a variety of health and personal care options.

I have vision problems. What does Kittay do to help low-vision residents?

Kittay is an ideal choice for the visually impaired. We offer accommodations designed to enhance the daily living of older adults with all levels of visual challenges. Throughout the building there are environmental modifications that make living easier, and the staff at Kittay is supportive and sensitive to residents with low-vision issues. 

Does Kittay have trial-stay and short-stay options?

If you aren’t yet sure if Kittay will feel like home, we encourage you to consider a trial stay in a fully furnished Kittay studio apartment so you can “try us on for size.”

Kittay also welcomes short-stay residents, including those who have recently completed a hospitalization and post-acute rehab and are looking for a way to transition from hospital to home.
