It’s been Medicare and Medicaid certified continuously since 1970, more than five decades of operating history, and the focus here leans toward short-term rehabilitation, with a physician on-site. Occupancy runs at 90 percent, 158 of 175 beds filled.

The facility takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and sits in a somewhat walkable pocket of West Babylon, Walk Score of 46. Staffing numbers give a real picture of daily care: total nursing time averages 2 hours and 45 minutes per resident, per day, with licensed practical nurses contributing 45 minutes of that.

The clinical programming here has real specificity. Cardiac rehabilitation, physical and occupational therapy, an enteral nutrition specialty, and dementia-focused care are all named, structured offerings, not vague service categories. The physical setting backs that up too: 4 acres of grounds and gardens, plus complimentary Wi-Fi, television, phone, and laundry service, and concierge support for residents and families navigating day-to-day logistics.

Inspections here have tended to focus on fire-safety systems and care planning and documentation, the kind of operational areas regulators typically review at established skilled nursing facilities.

Altogether, Berkshire Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a long-running facility built specifically around short-term rehabilitation, backed by real clinical specialization and a physical campus substantial enough to support both residents and the families visiting them.

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.

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.

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 374 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.
