No state record publishes this community's prices, so we do not either. The CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey puts New York's statewide median for a private one-bedroom in assisted living at $7,110 a month.
Long Island prices generally run above that state median. What moves the monthly bill at a specific community is the care level: EALR and SNALR care usually costs more than base assisted living, and this community holds both. Ask for the full fee schedule in writing, including level-of-care charges and what triggers an increase. Our cost guide walks through the numbers.
