Senior Living North Shore of Long Island

Amber Court of Westbury

3400 Brush Hollow Road Westbury, New York 11590

Amber Court Assisted Living Communities are family owned facilities, built to offer outstanding care to the elderly. There are six Amber Court communities in Greater NNY, including two on the North Shore of Long Island. Amber Court believes everyone deserves to age in a comfortable, safe, and cheerful environment where each person is treated with kindness, compassion and respect.

The mission of Amber Court is to preserve dignity, promote well-being, and provide quality care with an emphasis on individuality and enjoyment in a warm, nurturing environment. This means that residents of Amber Court Assisted Living Communities are enveloped in a family-like atmosphere within a culture of integrity and trust that honors each precious life.

Amber Court communities are one of the very few communities on the North Shore that accept New York State Medicaid as partial payment for Assisted Living. Many seniors rely on Medicaid for care. Amber Court is a high quality community overall and a great option for families relying on Medicaid. If you believe that a loved one will be using Medicaid to pay for Assisted Living, call Amber Court.

All American Assisted Living

463 Middle Country Road Coram, New York 11727

This new Community – open just one month – is upbeat, simple, and very affordable. Most of the rooms are three room, two bed, two bath suites shared by two people, each with private bedrooms. All American has a special focus on mobility and exercise and are one of the only Assisted/Memory Communities to include guided individualize exercise as part of their everyday work, with no extra cost or insurance bill added for the service. This is a physically small Community – ideal for a senior who does not look forward to long walks in the building. In Memory Care, they have just 24 rooms for people with some form of cognitive difficulties, with each resident getting their own private bedroom and bathroom. And the cost for Memory Care at All American is one of the lowest in the area. The Community also has earned the important Enhanced license for Assisted Living and Memory Care, making it more likely that your loved one’s needs will not outgrow the capabilities on the Community.

All American is a particularly good value for both Assisted Living and Memory Care on the North Shore of Suffolk County.

Bristal Mt. Sinai

400 Sutton Court Mt Sinai, New York 11766

Mike’s first-hand notes

This is the newest in the group of Assisted Living and Memory Care Communities built and managed by the Bristal Assisted Living organization. The Bristal’s locations are all built as first-class buildings with elegant surrounding and top-quality care. Known for their cuisine, this new location in Mt. Sinai provides top restaurant style meals three times each day. When I toured, residents were preparing for dinner by having a glass of wine while being entertained by a great duo performing 50s and 60s hits.

The Bristal Mt. Sinai has a secure section of the building devoted to the special needs of seniors with dementia due to Alzheimer’s and other disfunctions of the central nervous system. What is unique about the Bristal is that each of these sections for people with cognitive difficulties is a mirror image of the larger area set aside for Assisted Living. They all have a cinema, a hair salon, full activity areas, a craft shop, and a special outdoor space just for these residents. At the Bristal, both residents in Assisted Living and Memory Care get the same services, each delivered in a way appropriate for that group.

This Bristal has also earned an Enhanced license for Assisted Living, the highest level of licensure offered by New York State. This higher level of licensure gives seniors a greater chance of Aging in Place at this Community.

Bristal East Northport

760 Larkfield Road East Northport, New York 11731

This beautiful Community in East Northport is nearing completion on a multi-million dollar interior renovation. Well before other Assisted and Memory Communities would even start planning for new carpeting and other furnishings, the Bristal organization is painting, papering, installing new carpeting, replacing furniture, and renovating the already attractive indoor and outdoor spaces. This Community features a pool, and the pool deck is the center of social life in the summer. While the weather is good It would not be unusual to have more than one outside musical group entertain each week. The Community has a cinema, a regularly active arts and crafts program, lectures, and the ever-popular Bingo.

This Bristal provides both Assisted Living, which is support for individuals needing assistance with the Activities of Daily Living, and provides care in a separate, secure area for seniors with Dementia due to Alzheimer’s and other conditions.

The Residences at Plainview

9 Gerhard Road Plainview, New York 11803

The Residences at Plainview are true Independent Living, ideal for seniors who either need no assistance with the Activities of Daily Living or who want to organize their own care and assistance. This is one of only about 12 Independent Living communities on all of Long Island. The apartments come with a full kitchen, and the community was completely renovated just two years ago.

Located in the vibrant Long Island community of Plainview, this community offers lifestyle choices for independent seniors more closely associated with resort-style living. With indoor and outdoor pools, a fully equipped exercise facility, on-site restaurant with all three meals included, and concierge services, independent living never looked or felt so good. Residents like the concierge services, available for simple activities like errands and complex tasks like recovery from a medical procedure.

Orchard Estate of Woodbury

In the provider’s own words

900 Woodbury Road Woodbury, New York 1179

Orchard Estate is a lovely, smaller Community with both Assisted Living and Memory Care services available. One highlight of the community is All Day Dining – Once the kitchen opens, it doesn’t close until after the dinner hour. Residents are free to eat meals when they want and don’t have to restrict themselves to specific meal times. This community is just two years old, and is owned by the prestigious Benchmark company. Care here is considered top notch, and activities include music, crafts, art, excursions, exercise classes, and theme parties.

Like most Assisted Living communities, one of the greatest benefits of living at Orchard Estate is never having to do laundry, cook, schedule or drive to a doctor’s appointment again. We also provide the space and amenities so our residents can focus on what matters most—enjoying a social hour with friends in the bistro or a good book in front of our opulent fireplace.
