Harbor House

License and inspection record

Is Harbor House licensed by New York State?

Yes. Harbor House holds New York State Department of Health operating certificate 400-F-305, 400-F-313 as an Adult Home in Oyster Bay, with 208 certified beds in the 2026 Q2 state report, and has been licensed since May 30, 2003 (about 23 years).

On top of that base license it carries Assisted Living Residence licensure for 208 beds and 124 Special Needs (SNALR) dementia beds. Those certifications are what make it “assisted living” in New York's legal sense, not just in its marketing.

The campus operates under 2 separate operating certificates (400-F-305 Adult Home, 400-F-313 Adult Home), each inspected on its own. We combine them here because they share one address.

What does Harbor House's NYSDOH inspection record show?

Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2026, NYSDOH conducted 29 inspections at Harbor House and cited 25 violations; 21 inspections found none. The most recent report on file was a complaint survey issued May 21, 2026.

Of those visits, 4 were routine relicensure surveys and 26 were complaint investigations. A complaint survey does not mean a complaint was upheld — many close with no citation.

The regulation areas cited most often were food service, environmental standards, resident services. Citations in these areas are common across Long Island adult care facilities; what matters is whether they repeat and whether the plan of correction was approved.

21 earlier reports are on the state record linked above.

Enforcement: none reported for Harbor House in this period.

Does Harbor House offer memory care (SNALR) in Oyster Bay?

Yes. Harbor House is certified as a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence for 124 of its 208 beds, which is New York's certification for dementia care.

That is 60% of the building. Ask whether the SNALR neighborhood is a separate secured floor or wing, how many SNALR beds are open now, and what happens if a resident's needs exceed what SNALR covers.

Can a resident age in place at Harbor House?

Only within standard assisted living limits: Harbor House shows no Enhanced (EALR) beds, so a resident who comes to need nursing-level help may have to move.

Medicaid: the state report shows no ALP beds here, so Harbor House is private pay. Families who expect to need Medicaid should read our Medicaid and assisted living guide before moving in.

The state record lists 6 respite beds for short stays.

Where is Harbor House, and what is nearby in Oyster Bay?

Harbor House is at 150 South St in Oyster Bay, Nassau County. The closest hospital is Syosset Hospital in Syosset, about 4.4 miles away in a straight line.

From the operator's own published information: An assisted living campus in the Village of Oyster Bay comprising Oyster Bay Manor (opened 1995) and Harbor House memory care (added 2000). Operator's site states Harbor House, founded in 2000, was among the first New York residential facilities devoted specifically to residents with Alzheimer's disease and memory disorders.

What does assisted living at Harbor House cost?

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: SNALR (dementia) care usually costs more than base assisted living. 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.
