Sunrise of Scarsdale

Saxon Woods Park borders the 7 wooded acres where Sunrise of Scarsdale stands at 9 Saxon Woods Road in White Plains. Despite its name, the community has a White Plains address, and it serves families from Scarsdale, Eastchester and the rest of Westchester. It offers assisted living and memory care, and Sunrise Senior Living is the operator.

Assisted living provides help with dressing, bathing and medication management, and memory care serves residents living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia or other memory loss. A nurse meets with each resident before move-in to set a care level, which is added to the apartment price. Medication management and some other services carry separate fees, so the monthly total depends on both the apartment and the care plan.

Inside, residents have a cinema-style theater, an art studio, a fitness center, a full-service beauty salon, a billiard room and a library. Meals are chef-prepared, with choices at each sitting and a bistro for snacks. The manicured grounds give residents room to walk outdoors, golfers can play at Saxon Woods Golf Course, and the calendar mixes cultural, social and wellness programs.

Families who visit by train can use the Scarsdale, Mamaroneck or White Plains Metro-North stations. White Plains Hospital Physician Associates and NewYork-Presbyterian Medical Group Westchester have offices in the area.
