In this conversation, Jerry Vinci interviews Angela DeWood, the deputy executive director at Carnegie East House in New York City. They discuss the unique living experiences and enriched housing provided by Carnegie East House. Angela shares her journey into the elder care field and how her international travels have influenced her approach to senior living. They also talk about the integration of the vibrant energy of New York City into the daily lives of the residents, the partnerships with cultural institutions, and the tailored programs and activities offered to cater to the needs and interests of seniors in an urban environment. Carnegie East House, a nonprofit assisted living community in Manhattan, faces unique challenges related to noise, safety, and accessibility. The increase in e-bike traffic in the city has created a free-for-all situation that needs regulation. The community is working on addressing these issues through advocacy and community events. The central location of Carnegie East House, near public transportation, makes it convenient for residents and their families to visit. As a nonprofit, Carnegie East House focuses on individualized care and affordability, offering a spend-down program for residents who may run out of money. The community aims to evolve its offerings to meet the changing needs of residents and improve amenities.
