The Arbors at Islandia West

1515 Veterans Memorial Highway, Islandia, NY 11749
Overview of The Arbors at Islandia West

Assisted living and memory care are the two care tracks at The Arbors at Islandia West, a 200-bed community at 1515 Veterans Memorial Highway in Islandia, Suffolk County. Operated by Arcadia Management, Inc., the campus runs an all-inclusive model with pricing starting at $4,400 per month.

The residential structure is organized into named neighborhoods. The Transitions Neighborhood supports residents moving through care transitions; a dedicated memory care neighborhood serves those with dementia-related needs. A Heroes Welcome Program provides specialized services for military veterans.

Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the facility on a 24-hour basis. Rehabilitation services and respite care are available. Chef-prepared meals are included in the all-inclusive package.

The Walk Score of 34 puts the Veterans Memorial Highway address in somewhat-walkable range, with most trips requiring a vehicle. The facility sits 0.3 miles from Islandia’s city center. New York’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care has noted themes in care planning and documentation through the inspection process.

The Arbors at Islandia West is a 200-bed all-inclusive assisted living and memory care community in Suffolk County with named residential neighborhoods, a veteran-focused program, and 24-hour nurse staffing. The $4,400 monthly starting price and the community’s scale reflect what this facility offers within the Long Island adult home market.

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 Promenade at University Place

Promenade at University Place offers assisted living and memory care in Albany, NY. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

The community has 200 beds. Its combination of care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to another community. Respite care supports a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Short term rehabilitation is also available for temporary recovery needs, and Medicare is accepted for short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence.

Medicaid is accepted as another payment option for eligible residents. Regular outings and fitness classes give residents scheduled activities beyond their living space, while game rooms and a well stocked library provide on site recreation. Medical professionals visit on site, and a doctor is on staff, allowing residents to receive medical attention within the community. The building is wheelchair accessible.

Beth Zaccheo serves as director, and Promenade Albany operates the community. A Walk Score of 68 places the area in the somewhat walkable range, meaning some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain outings independently. The Senior Day Program is another specific service available at Promenade at University Place.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in New York

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

Assisted living in New York 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.

Does New York Medicaid cover memory care?

New York Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including New York) 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 379 memory care communities in New York. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in New York?

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, 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 memory care communities in New York?

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.
