MOUNT VERNON, NY — Construction began today on Berkemeier Living Center, which will offer independent, assisted living and nursing home care to people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Berkemeier Living Center will open at One Wartburg Place, a senior care center in Mount Vernon. The 50,500-square-foot building will be made up of 32 private and 32 “semi-private” residences, and it will be dedicated to Alzheimer’s and memory care.

Each residence will resemble a small-scale household, officials said, with living and dining rooms, kitchens, large windows and good views.
