On top of that base license it carries Assisted Living Residence licensure for 200 beds and 57 Special Needs (SNALR) dementia beds. Those certifications are what make it “assisted living” in New York's legal sense, not just in its marketing.

What does assisted living at The Arbors at Islandia East 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.
