Overview of The Osborn

Rye, New York sits in southern Westchester County, and at 101 Theall Road, The Osborn has occupied its 56-acre campus for well over a century. The facility’s nursing home component carries 84 licensed beds, with 70 currently in use, and the wider campus encompasses assisted living, independent living, memory care, and home care services. For families who want one address to grow into, that range of care levels is the facility’s clearest structural advantage.

The average length of stay is 40 days.; that tells you this is predominantly a short-stay rehabilitation setting, not a long-term placement. Rehabilitation services and respite care are the two clinical programs on record, and The Osborn Home Care and Future Residents Club programs extend the facility’s services into the surrounding community. The campus model means residents who transition between care levels can do so without leaving the grounds.

Total nursing care runs 4 hours and 1 minute per resident per day, with registered nurses providing 54 minutes, LPNs another 54 minutes, and nurse aides contributing 2 hours and 57 minutes. These are reported figures, not adjusted benchmarks. The neighborhood scores a 31 on the Walk Scale, so most outings and visits will involve a car or arranged transportation.

New York State’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care, conducts oversight. Inspections at The Osborn have tended to surface themes around fire-safety systems and care planning documentation rather than direct resident care.

The Osborn accepts Medicare and private pay. Operated by the Miriam Osborn Memorial Home Association, this is a campus-rooted continuing care community best suited to short-term rehabilitation patients and to older adults and families who anticipate needing multiple levels of care over time and want to access them in one place.

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 363 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.
