From Mike’s Long Island guide
The Arbors in Westbury has an unusual pricing model – while the overwhelming majority of Long Island Assisted Living communities have two charges (Rent and Care), The Arbors charges one, single rent charge. Their Rent includes personal care services, including bathing dressing, toileting, and other types of personal care needs. This enables families to plan for future expenditures, and financial predictability in Senior Care is a great and positive thing. The Arbors features several surprisingly large outdoor spaces, visiting physicians, and local trips. For seniors with moderate physical needs and little to no memory difficulties, this is a desirable choice.
