Total count of violations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.

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.
