The seven-acre community was a joint project between developer Amba P. Sharma, the Perkins Eastman Architects architectural firm of Stamford, Conn., Jasper Design of Massachusetts, and Solutions-Advisors, management consultants who focus on senior housing community development.
Sharma is a veteran when dealing with senior communities, having 30-plus years of experience with them. He's worked with communities in North Hills, Scarsdale and Poughkeepsie, along with The Bristal at North Hills on Long Island.
“People living at The Ambassador will be able to live the way they like,” Sharma said. “Our philosophy is person-centered care and we are offering a level of luxury, services and amenities uncommon to today’s assisted living communities.”
Those amenities include a performing arts center, movie theater, and a children’s playroom, restaurant, fine arts studio, full-service beauty salon and spa, and living room and lounge with fireplaces.
The community also focuses on the wellness of their residents, including a fitness center with equipment geared to seniors, fully equipped medical offices staffed by visiting physicians, a registered dietitian and a specially equipped Mercedes van to take residents to doctor visits.
There is also an on-site memory care program called The Keepsake Community, which includes a country kitchen with meals served family-style, light-filled activity rooms for specialized programming, and enclosed outdoor gardens.
The Ambassador of Scarsdale is at 9 Saxon Wood Road just off Mamaroneck Avenue, Exit 23 N off the Hutchinson River Parkway and Exit 18 B Mamaroneck Avenue North off I-95.
