Overview of Amber Court of Westbury

Amber Court of Westbury occupies a moderately walkable stretch of Brush Hollow Road in Westbury, Nassau County, with a Walk Score of 52. That’s enough for some errands on foot, though a car still handles most of them. The 64-bed community, operated by Amber Court of Westbury II, LLC, carries both assisted living and memory care on its license.

The clinical picture is more developed than many similarly sized communities. A physician is on site five days a week, licensed nurses manage care coordination around the clock, and the service list spans rehabilitation, respite care, and medication supervision alongside the standard assisted living and memory care offerings. The Assisted Living Program designation under New York State licensing means the facility is equipped to support residents with medical needs that go beyond basic assisted living. For families looking at both near-term and longer-term care needs, that clinical depth matters.

The amenity list is also unusually full for 64 beds. Indoor and outdoor patio spaces, a fitness center, library lounge, cinema and game room, and multiple socializing areas give the building a residential feel that runs deeper than functional. Restaurant-style meals are served with specialized diet options available.

Activities include live entertainment, outings, gardening clubs, cooking classes, Pokeno, and religious services. So there’s a calendar with enough variety that it’s unlikely to feel repetitive week to week.

State inspections fall under the New York Department of Health’s Office of Aging and Long Term Care, with regulatory attention focused on care planning and documentation and dietary and food service.

For families in the Westbury and Nassau County area, Amber Court of Westbury combines memory care capacity, on-site physician access, and a genuinely detailed amenity program in a community small enough to keep staffing ratios tight.

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.
