Wordless Wednesday - Horses in the snow- it must be the view

Horses in the snow. I would think a warm barn would be more inviting but the attraction must be the view of the beautiful Catskill Mountains.

Here in the mid-hudson Valley you can find many horse farms, some big and others just having one or two horses.

For some looking for second homes, the romantic idea of owning horses and being able to ride them is a big thrill.  On a few occasions, I have even encountered riders taking a trot down the middle of a country lane.

Livingston

The Town of Livingston can be found in Columbia County New York.  It was named after Robert Livingston the first lord Of the Manor. The land grant was given in 1686 and the town was established in 1788.  I have previously mentioned Mr. Livingston reference to his involvement with Robert Fulton and the steamboat.  I have also written about his beautiful estate on the banks of the Hudson River in Clermont.  This area is so rich in history it could keep a history enthusiast very busy.

This town has a population of just over 3424 according to the census.  Here you can still find beautiful farmland.  One of the Livingston's vacation home Teviotdale home was located here.

Livingston Hills - A Senior Assisted Facility in Livingston NY

 

 

With the aging of our population there is increased demand for facilities to meet their needs.  One such facility is Livingston Hills in the town of Livingston in Columbia county. 

This facility is certified for 120 residents and accepts both Medicaid and Medicare.  Here are the services available :

  • Respite Care - as described in their brochure, this type of care gives family members a break from daily care-giving.  And we all know how important it is for the caregiver to take a break.

 

  •  Rehabilitative Services- I have had elderly friends who transitioned here from the hospital, for therapy, before getting the okay to return home.

 

  •  Alzheimer's Care.  Providing care for your loved one at home can be difficult and stressful, so, it is good to know this service is available.   Here your loved one would be cared for by staff specially trained to provide services that ensure physical, emotional and social well being.

 

  • Long Term Care.  There may come a point when a family member can no longer provide for the care-giving needs. This center provides skilled care on a long-term basis and allows visitation any day of the week. 

To check out a facility for a family member please remember there are the following resources provided by the Federal and State governments:

You can contact the center by calling 518-851-3041  or writing to:  Livingston Hills 2781 RT. 9 Box 95 - Livingston. NY 12541
