From Mike’s Long Island guide
The Village Green Assisted Living and Memory Community in Levittown is all about human interaction. The Levittown area in Central Long Island grew after World War II based on thousands of returning GI’s looking for moderately priced houses where they could build their American dream surrounded by friends and family. Village Green has taken some of the themes and history of the area and used it to create a Community based on camaraderie. Each of the three floors has plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces in which to talk with other residents, meet with family, or simply find a quiet place for reading or watching TV.
This Community has a separate, secure section for those with cognitive difficulties such as Alzheimer’s disease. Seniors with dementia living at Village Green have a full day of activities for each day. The goal in this part of the community is to give these residents, “Good Days” each day, and they use proven techniques such as redirection, reminiscence, and sensory stimulation to help each resident enjoy each day and each other.

This new community, located in the heart of Levittown, reflects the special nature of the surrounding town. Village Green’s approach to Memory Care is personalized in an approach called Heartfelt Connections. Through this program, the community works to recognize what continues to make each resident unique, despite Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. The program strives to help family members continue to be spouses, children, and loved ones of the person with dementia. Various room arrangements are possible in the Memory neighborhood, and a private, secure garden is available just for residents with cognitive difficulties.
