About the community

About The Residence at Gramercy

We are a premier Independent and Assisted Living community that has proudly served seniors with compassion, dignity, and dedication since 1985. For nearly four decades, Gramercy has been a place where residents are truly known, valued, and supported in a warm, welcoming environment they can proudly call home. Nestled on six beautifully landscaped acres, the community features lush gardens, floral walking paths, and inviting outdoor spaces where residents can relax, reflect, and quite literally stop and smell the flowers. The peaceful setting creates the perfect backdrop for a lifestyle centered on comfort, connection, and independence. Gramercy has recently entered an exciting new chapter with a change in ownership and is now a proud member of Cima Senior Living. True to the meaning of Cima—“the peak”—our community is rising to new heights and setting a new standard of excellence in senior living. Significant enhancements are already underway, including new carpeting, fresh paint, renovated common areas, and refreshed gathering spaces designed to enhance comfort, encourage connection, and elevate everyday living. Safety and innovation remain key priorities. Gramercy has implemented advanced AI fall detection sensors and an upgraded analytical call system from Care.Life, allowing for faster response times, proactive monitoring, and enhanced communication. These advancements provide residents with greater safety while offering families additional peace of mind. Dining has also been elevated with a made-from-scratch menu focused on fresh ingredients, balanced nutrition, and exceptional flavor. Life at Gramercy is vibrant and engaging. Residents enjoy a variety of recreational, educational, health, and wellness programs designed to promote independence and overall well-being. Social opportunities—from book clubs and social hours to group outings and day trips—create meaningful connections and lasting friendships. Spacious apartments offer privacy, comfort, and thoughtful safety features while freeing residents from the worries of home maintenance, cooking, and housekeeping. Instead, residents enjoy the freedom of supportive living in a gracious community where help is always available when needed. What truly sets Gramercy apart is our people. Our leadership team brings a combined 112 years of senior living experience, ensuring compassionate, personalized service and care each and every day. We invite you to experience The Residence at Gramercy, where tradition, innovation, and heartfelt service come together to create a place residents are proud to call home.

The Residence at Gramercy

All the staff was friendly and helpful. My apartment was just the right size. I have a studio b. I'm sleeping in my recliner so that was al I needed. They just hired an activity person. The receptionist had been filling in and was doing a great job. The cleanliness of the whole building was very good. The dining area was kept clean. That is a hard area to keep clean.

Administration is nonresponsive and avoids responsibility.

Phone calls are never answered. Always goes straight to voicemail. Administration never calls back no matter how many emails and messages you leave. We've been trying to resolve billing issues for months. If we cannot get these issues resolved, our next step is to seek legal assistance. Never had this much frustration with prior owners.

New management beginning September 25

Since new owners have replaced previous administrators, service to residents have been reduced. There are fewer direct care staff such as residents aids negatively affecting resident care. Prior to the new administration, there was a transportation coordinator who made residents appointments; such as medical appointments and coordinated those appointments with Gramercy’s transportation. That service is no longer provided. Transportation however is still available on certain days and during certain hours.

Surrounded by Kindness

The staff. They care about the residents and strive to make sure we know that. They greet you by name and ask if anything is needed or if I have any questions. The vibe here is positive and I've never felt like part of a herd. The residents are also mostly friendly. There are a few curmudgeons, but then again, you can push their wheelchairs down the ramp and wave bye-bye. Unless they have the brakes on. Then you have to just walk away.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly grateful to hear that you feel welcomed and supported by our team. Creating a positive, respectful environment where every resident feels known and valued is exactly what we strive for each day, so it means a lot to know that this has been your experience. The staff will be especially touched by your recognition. They work hard to make sure residents feel heard, comfortable, and cared for, and your feedback reinforces why that effort matters so much. We’re also glad to hear that the community atmosphere has been friendly and uplifting for you. A sense of humor certainly helps along the way, too! Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for being a valued part of our Gramercy family!

Sometimes cheaper isn't always better

Room size is good; have 1 nurse, [name removed], would rate a 5! He does like some but, asks for a drink they don't bring. Their hours for supper are not accommodating. They have put my father at risk with his diabetes. There is a big time lack of any changes in a prescription is sent from a doctor to when the nurses get it on their computers. Risked a diabetic coma. They should have went over how they deal with diabetics.

Nice facility

My elderly father was at The Residence at Gramercy for 6 months. I thought it was a nice facility although it is a bit outdated in some areas. The carpet in the hallways could be replaced. His studio apartment was very nice. It had new paint and 3 large windows that made his room nice and bright. The kitchenette was a wonderful bonus. The staff was always very friendly. The only thing I didn't like was when my dad would push his alert button it often took several minutes or longer for someone to come and help him
