Alzheimer’s Care Provider Getting Boot from UWS Home of 20 Years
(DNAINFO) Emily Frost | November 3, 2015 — A health care provider serving more than two-dozen Alzheimer’s patients is fighting to stay in a luxury building past the end of the year, after the landlord decided to sever ties with the group rather than make architectural changes to the building.
The Esplanade, a “luxury” senior living facility on West End Avenue at West 74th Street, announced last month that it was terminating its contract with Alzheimer’s service provider Hearthstone after 20 years, initially giving patients just two week’s notice to make alternate plans.
The building made headlines earlier this year, when a brick fell from the front of the structure and fatally struck a 2-year-old girl sitting in her stroller.
