Overview of Willow Creek

Willow Creek provides assisted living in Hinsdale, NY, with 32 beds. It is a smaller setting where staff and residents may have more opportunity to get to know each other, which may suit someone who prefers a more familiar community. Underwood Gardens operates Willow Creek.

Residents can receive help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and ongoing monitoring of health care needs, supporting both personal care and regular health routines. Semi-private rooms offer a shared living arrangement. Daily activities include crafts, outings, exercise, parties, and games, with scheduled opportunities for creative, physical, social, and recreational participation; meals and snacks are developed by a Registered Dietitian, and rehabilitation services are available when therapy is part of a resident’s care.

Contact Willow Creek

Overview of The Gardens by Morningstar

The Gardens by Morningstar is an assisted living community in Oswego, NY, with 106 beds. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication while allowing a resident to maintain their own apartment, so it may suit someone who wants support without giving up private living space.

Rehabilitation services are available for residents who need therapy as part of their care. Medicaid is accepted, which can provide a payment option for a resident whose savings may not cover a long stay. The area has a Walk Score of 89, making it very walkable; most errands can be completed on foot, and a resident who no longer drives may still be able to get out independently.

Overview of Briarwood Manor

Briarwood Manor is a family-owned assisted living and memory care facility that has operated near Lockport and the Buffalo, New York area since 1982. Run by third-generation operators and administrator Eric Prokop, the building focuses on senior living transitions and residential care. The neighborhood is entirely car-dependent, meaning visitors and residents will need a vehicle to handle any errands outside the property grounds.

Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants work on the floor around the clock to assist residents with their daily living routines. The staff coordinates structured memory care schedules alongside an active calendar of social events, holiday celebrations, and outdoor activities.

State regulatory offices inspect this community periodically to check health, safety, and licensing compliance. This profile does not outline a history of recurring safety violations or citation patterns, so you can ask the administration to let you look over their recent state survey logs when you take an on-site tour.

Families can call the main office to find out about open rooms, current staffing ratios, or the move-in process. The administrative desk can walk you through their accepted payment types, explain their monthly dining plans, and schedule an appointment for you to see the campus layout firsthand.

Contact Briarwood Manor

Overview of The Mansion at South Union

The Mansion at South Union offers assisted living and memory care in Cambridge, NY. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment; Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Both care levels are available here. The community may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community. With 44 beds, it is a smaller setting where staff and residents get to know each other. A Walk Score of 55 means some errands are possible on foot for a resident who no longer drives, and Icc Management & Consulting operates The Mansion at South Union.

Overview of Sunrise at Sheepshead Bay

Sunrise at Sheepshead Bay occupies a mid-rise on Emmons Avenue in Brooklyn’s Sheepshead Bay neighborhood, a Sunrise-branded community with 189 beds across studio, one-, and two-bedroom layouts. The surrounding area is legitimately walkable; a Walk Score of 88 means most errands are reachable on foot, which matters more than it might in a suburban setting when residents, families, and staff are all coming and going. The starting price is $6,323 per month.

Care here spans three levels: assisted living, memory care, and respite stays. Licensed nurses and CNAs are on-site around the clock, and the services list includes rehabilitation, short-term rehab, and Dignity Home Care alongside the standard residential tracks. Memory care is a distinct offering, not folded into general assisted living.

The amenity footprint is substantial for an urban mid-rise. Outdoor spaces, a bistro, a private dining room, chef-crafted meals, fitness and arts programming, local excursions, and scheduled transportation are all confirmed. Each suite includes an emergency response system. Sunrise CareConnect handles healthcare coordination, and a family engagement app keeps relatives in the loop without requiring a trip to Brooklyn.

For older adults who want to stay embedded in a dense, walkable urban neighborhood while moving into assisted living or memory care, this community covers the range of what that transition typically requires, with short-term options available for families who aren’t yet ready for a permanent placement.

Overview of Good Shepherd-Fairview Home

Overview of Danforth Adult Care Center

A Walk Score of 56 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to reach select destinations independently. The combination of assisted living, nursing care, and respite care suits a resident whose support needs could increase over time or a family seeking a temporary care arrangement.

Overview of Greenfield Health & Rehab Center

Greenfield Health & Rehab Center is a 160-bed facility in Lancaster, New York, and it covers a lot of ground: nursing home care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing all live under one roof at 5949 Broadway. Right now 153 people call it home, with 150 of the 160 beds filled, so occupancy sits at 94 percent. The area itself scores 77 on Walk Score, solidly walkable, so getting around without a car isn’t really a problem here.

Let’s talk staffing, because the numbers tell a story worth paying attention to. Nurse aides log the most hands-on time by far, 2 hours and 52 minutes per resident every day, the bathing, dressing, and getting-around-safely kind of care. LPNs come in at 1 hour and 24 minutes daily, mostly medications and wound care. RNs average 36 minutes per resident per day, which is the clinical-oversight layer, watching for changes and directing the care plan. On top of that baseline, the facility runs 24-hour staffing, so coverage doesn’t just stop at shift change.

Paying for a stay here isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. Greenfield Health takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families actually have options depending on their situation. Day to day, residents have transportation to medical appointments, shared community spaces, and a central courtyard they can access. There’s also an active Resident Council, a real group that meets regularly to talk through policies, care quality, and quality-of-life issues, not just a name on a brochure.

Inspections here come from New York’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care, unannounced visits meant to check the place against state and federal rules. The recurring themes have been infection prevention, fire-safety systems, emergency readiness, resident rights, and general housekeeping and upkeep.

Put it all together and what you get is a large, full-spectrum facility, multiple care types, a staffing model heavy on direct nurse aide time, 24-hour coverage, and a resident body with an actual voice through its council, serving a sizable population in Lancaster.

A Walk Score of 89 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops, pharmacies, or cafes independently.

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 374 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.
