Christine Healy: Hi, Arthur! How are you?
2
00:00:04.710 --> 00:00:22.660
arthurbretschneiderimac: Hi, Christine! I'm doing great! How are you? I'm so excited to get a chance to talk to you today about a couple of communities that have been on my list of ones to research. But before we start talking about communities, I want you to share a little bit about your background, because for anyone who's listening, I want them to know that we're talking to
3
00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:49.990
arthurbretschneiderimac: the real deal and senior living. Oh, thanks, Christine, so so I've been. I've been working in senior living for about 20 years. My family built and operated assisted living communities out in California. You know, I worked for my family's business, and I really started senior because I saw firsthand how difficult it was for families to find, you know, the right sort of match senior living communities. And so.
4
00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:58.040
arthurbretschneiderimac: you know, over the years, I've helped hundreds of families go through this process. And of course, with seniorly. You know, we helped thousands of families.
5
00:00:58.260 --> 00:01:07.929
arthurbretschneiderimac: so it sounds like we have come to someone who has you know, seen it all in terms of senior living. So
6
00:01:08.060 --> 00:01:17.379
arthurbretschneiderimac: one of the communities that I wanted to ask you about today is called Inspire Carnegie Hill. It's in New York. What do you know about this community?
7
00:01:18.170 --> 00:01:41.289
arthurbretschneiderimac: Well, I know that it is a beautiful community. It's a so well, first of all, just to kind of paint where it is. It's on the Upper East Side. So it's, you know. It's it's right it's right near the met. It's close to the Guggenheim. It's near Mount Sinai Hospital. So it's just in a great, you know, Upper East Side location
8
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:53.609
arthurbretschneiderimac: brand new building. Wow! Is it a luxurious building. You know, there's certainly a couple of properties in New York that have really gone above and beyond and and inspire is is definitely one of them
9
00:01:53.610 --> 00:02:17.219
arthurbretschneiderimac: inspire has actually already won several awards from different design awards to, you know, a a, a well, health safety rating. So you know, really like putting themselves at a very high standard. You know, and and and inspire. It is an assisted living community. It also supports folks who have dementia. So there's memory care there. And you know, kind of
10
00:02:17.220 --> 00:02:33.560
arthurbretschneiderimac: have been talking a bit about the amenities and and or how how nice. This community is but really one of the things to keep in mind also is that this is operated by a very well respected operator called Maplewood, Senior living. They have about
11
00:02:33.560 --> 00:03:00.880
arthurbretschneiderimac: 20 communities. They're they're, you know, close. They're based in Connecticut, not far from from New York. And I think when you walk through. You know this particular community, you'll you'll notice how well managed it is. But you'll also be like really shocked, I think that you'll it. It will challenge your sort of thoughts on what senior housing is. You know th there's beautiful wood paneling in the entry. You'll see a, you know, a grand piano, and this like
12
00:03:01.100 --> 00:03:05.689
arthurbretschneiderimac: impressive lobby. This community is not going to disappoint you.
13
00:03:06.270 --> 00:03:20.040
arthurbretschneiderimac: One of the things that I particularly like about this community is that it's a pet friendly community, and it really focuses on social engagement. So you know whether you see, certainly, you know, cute little dogs or just, you know, a group of
14
00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:40.320
arthurbretschneiderimac: lively older adults hanging out. You know, that really resonates inside this community and and they also take residence out often to the communities. Obviously, as I mentioned, it's just such a great location. There's so much, you know, nearby, and and folks they really tend to take advantage of that.
15
00:03:40.320 --> 00:03:44.899
arthurbretschneiderimac: One other thing I would mention about this particular community is that they've really
16
00:03:45.270 --> 00:04:03.489
arthurbretschneiderimac: invested in healthcare. So there's a there's a big focus on healthcare where they have actual on site. Health care that's delivered and and part of that also is they've built this pretty innovative dementia care program. It's they call it Oceania program. And it's it's a very unique
17
00:04:03.490 --> 00:04:18.019
arthurbretschneiderimac: way of sort of working with folks who have dementia. It's definitely something, you know, when you go on a tour. If you're supporting someone who has dementia, it's something that you should ask about to really get a sense of like, how that's different from, you know, other programs that might be out there.
18
00:04:18.209 --> 00:04:22.530
Christine Healy: Okay, so you've definitely painted a picture. Do you know what I'm gonna ask?
19
00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:36.729
Christine Healy: II don't know what you're gonna what are you gonna ask? I'm definitely getting the sense that this is a higher end community. It's in New York City. Tell me a little bit about pricing for this community.
20
00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:56.839
arthurbretschneiderimac: Yeah. So it really depends on you know whether you get that studio or a one bedroom, 2 bedroom apartment, whether you have assisted living or memory care. But this is gonna be on the more expensive side. It's gonna cost in the tens of thousands, you know, could be as much as you know, $2030,000 a month. If you get a big apartment, and you have, you know, high, you know, higher care needs
21
00:04:56.840 --> 00:05:14.970
arthurbretschneiderimac: so you know it is certainly you are right. It is, it is certainly a a higher end community. And and the price points are, they do reflect that. Yeah, yeah, okay, great. Well, thank you for sharing what you know about inspire. And I'm really anxious to go visit the next time in New York.
22
00:05:15.590 --> 00:05:19.180
arthurbretschneiderimac: Awesome. Yeah, you should. Alright. Thanks, Christine.
