We are one of New York State's most experienced providers of care for the frail elderly. Our Amber Court Communities offer care, comfort and companionship in an affordable, secure, warm and home-like, setting. Our Mission is to preserve dignity, promote well-being, and provide quality care with an emphasis on individuality, health and enjoyment, in a warm nurturing environment. Our Amber Court Assisted Living Communities, Amber Court, Thomas Jefferson and Judith Lynn are family owned. Alfred and Judith Schonberger bring a hands-on approach to the management and care offered at each community. With over 35 years experience in the care of the elderly, the Schonberger stamp of quality means that everyone can expect to live with dignity, consideration and the utmost care. The organization has a family member at the helm of each community. Each Administrator is available and accountable to our guests and their families, to provide peace of mind to all. The Schonbergers, their management and each of the communities hold a much regarded reputation by state agencies and legislators, provider sources and senior organizations and associations. Over the past 35 years thousands of families have entrusted the care of their family members to the devoted, experienced care available at our Amber Court Communities. We recognize the need for a non-institutional approach for seniors who have cognitive and memory impairment. Research has shown that individuals suffering from varying degrees of dementia and Alzheimer's Disease function more efficiently in an environment catering to their specialized needs. Our Amber Court Communities provide for spacious, secure movement throughout our homes, eliminating the trapped feeling individuals encounter in a "special locked wing". In our environment, our guests tend to socialize and interact more comfortably among others with similar disabilities. Our expertly trained staff is carefully selected and supervised to ensure that our guests enjoy a warm, relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Activities are specifically designed to stimulate our guests' cognitive, physical and social abilities, enabling them to preserve personal dignity, self-esteem and independence. Our goal is that each guest achieves his or her highest functioning level. Our personalized approach provides a better quality of life and better secures the interests of this special elderly community by offering them a safe, yet non-restrictive lifestyle.
