Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Share of inspections that resulted in violations, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Regulatory visits tied to complaints or allegations in the state file—not the same as every routine survey.
Total count of violations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Starting Price $6,323/Month

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.
