Overview of Sunrise at Mill Basin

Sunrise at Mill Basin occupies a three-story building in Brooklyn’s Mill Basin neighborhood, at 5905 Strickland Ave in Kings County. The community, operated by GWC-Mill Basin, Inc., runs 142 beds across two care tracks: assisted living and memory care. Apartment options cover studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, which gives families more layout flexibility than the typical shared-room assisted living setup.

Mill Basin is a residential pocket of southern Brooklyn. The Walk Score of 59 puts the neighborhood in moderately walkable territory, meaning some day-to-day errands are walkable but a car or transit will handle most. Transportation services are available through the community. The building also offers fitness and recreation, and pets are allowed.

The New York State Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care, oversees inspections at this facility. State inspections have tended to center on care planning and documentation.

At 142 beds with both assisted living and memory care on-site, Sunrise at Mill Basin is a reasonable option for Brooklyn families who need dual-care access in apartment-style housing, whether the priority is assisted living now or continuity of care if memory needs develop later.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New York State

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New York State?

Assisted living in New York State supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New York State?

Assisted living in New York State is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New York State Medicaid cover assisted living?

New York State Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New York State) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 406 assisted living facilities in New York State. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New York State?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New York State, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in New York State?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
