About CARIS
Senior Living
Caris Senior Living is the Hudson Valley’s sole memory care provider exclusively dedicated to dementia and Alzheimer’s care. Designed around smaller, thoughtfully crafted residences, Caris prioritizes dignity, comfort, safety, and a more personal standard of care for residents and families alike.
Built from decades of experience in senior care design, development, and operations, Caris was created to offer an alternative to large institutional care environments. Our communities are intentionally smaller, more intimate, and centered around proactive care, meaningful daily engagement, and long-term stability for every resident we serve.
