Governor Cuomo Announces City of Amsterdam as $10 Million Mohawk Valley Winner of Third-Round Downtown Revitalization Initiative

The focus of the Amsterdam DRI spans the Mohawk River to encompass a segment of the historic downtown as well as new downtown areas that have emerged as the city continues to grow and evolve. With a range of mixed-use residential and commercial spaces, an assisted living facility, established businesses, and many park and recreation amenities, the area is poised to attract additional investment to its developable land and available buildings.

Sheltered housing, also known as retirement housing, is accommodation specifically designed for older people (or younger disabled people) to allow them to live independently.

Sheltered housing usually consists of self-contained flats with communal facilities. In most cases, they are available to people aged over 60, although some schemes may be open to those over 55 years old.

How sheltered housing works
Such accommodation can be bought or rented (see Privately funded sheltered housing), either by individuals or couples. Residents can pay for sheltered housing privately (out of their own funds) or, if they meet certain eligibility criteria (see Council and housing association sheltered housing), they can apply to be allocated sheltered housing by their local council or housing association.

Assisted living and extra-care housing
Assisted living (also known as extra-care housing) is a type of ‘housing with care’ which means you retain independence while you're assisted with tasks such as washing, dressing, going to the toilet or taking medication.

What's assisted living?
Assisted living (also known as extra-care housing) offers more support than sheltered housing but still allows you to live independently.

You live in a self-contained flat, with your own front door, but staff are usually available up to 24 hours per day to provide personal care and support services. These are tailored to you and can include help with washing, dressing, going to the toilet and taking medication. Domestic help, such as shopping and laundry, and meals may also be provided.

Common features of assisted living accommodation include:

help from a scheme manager (warden) or a team of support staff
24-hour emergency help through an alarm system.
social activities arranged for the community.
a minimum age for residents, usually 55 or 60.
self-contained flats allow you to stay independent.
communal lounges allowing you to socialise as and when you feel like it.
Some extra-care housing is available to buy or rent privately and some is available from the local council following a care needs
assessment, but it isn’t available in every area.
Unlike sheltered housing, assisted living housing is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). They inspect the facilities and provide ratings.
