For new cottage residents, Moving Day is Independence Day. Here they begin a new way of life, filled with all the joys of having a private home without the burden of maintaining it. Pets, of course, are welcome. Fifty one and two-bedroom cottages are nestled along the village's winding roads in a setting that resembles any attractive residential neighborhood.

Regular shuttle service brings cottagers to and from Noble's hub, Wagner Terrace, to pick up mail, shop at the Country Store, attend Taconic Learning Center classes, frequent social events, daily exercise classes or to keep an appointment with Noble's personal trainer in the Fitness Center. Even cottagers who maintain their own cars find the cottager van a convenient alternative for shopping, trips to area points of interest or lunch out at one of the area's many restaurants.

Those residents who have mobility problems or who require nursing supervision and assistance with personal care find that the accommodations in Wagner Terrace meet their needs perfectly. Wagner residents join Cobble residents in the Riga Dining Room and enjoy a full schedule of activities and trips designed just for them. Each spacious room with private half bath is carpeted and accented with attractive custom draperies. All are fully furnished, but many residents choose to bring a few pieces of their own to make their new room feel like home.

Because our intermediate care level is designed for those residents who are able to live with some assistance, Riga Residence and the Whitridge Wing are reserved for those who truly require 24-hour nursing care. Riga Residence offers carpeted single rooms with private half bath and large windows looking over gardens and lawns. Many of its residents have meals and take part in group activities in the recently renovated Wickman Room.

     Whitridge is home to the Snoezelen (SNOOZ-a-lin) Room, an innovative multi-sensory environmental therapy, which has been observed to decrease pain, improve the overall sense of well-being, reduce feelings of sadness and fear, and improve sleep habits. Incorporating aromatherapy, fiber optics, projected images, and calming music or nature sounds, Nobles Snoezelen Room provides pleasant, relaxing experiences that can be enjoyed regardless of physical or cognitive ability.

Noble's Namaste (NA-ma-stay) program provides very special care to those residents in the late or final stages of dementia. Namaste is a Hindi word expressing a wish to honor the spirit within. The key elements of Namaste care at Noble are gentleness and individual attention, providing each resident with emotional and physical comfort throughout the day. Namaste care is entirely resident-centered in a secluded, serene environment where every activity is an opportunity for meaningful interaction between the resident and his or her care partner.
