Babylon Beach House sits right on the Great South Bay and has been family owned and run by the Lockwood family for over 30 years, offering care for seniors in a single-story lodge that's pretty easy to get around, with private and semi-private rooms at all-inclusive monthly rates, and you'll find both studio spaces and semi-private setups with things like carpeting, lots of sunlight, and safety features like emergency call systems in every bed and bathroom, plus state-of-the-art fire security systems, so people feel secure even if they move around a little slower these days. Residents can get independent living, assisted living, nursing home care, memory care, and even continuing care retirement services all under one roof, so it's possible to stay at the community and keep the same routines even as their needs change, and the Enhanced Assisted Living program comes with dedicated nursing services.
People who live here get a full suite of personal assistance if needed, including medication reminders, bathing, dressing, grooming, incontinence care, and help with mobility, and there's round-the-clock supervision by staff in case someone needs anything, with transportation to doctor's visits and medical appointments always available, plus a schedule for nearby specialists like primary care doctors, podiatrists, and physical therapists who come in. The building feels homey and encourages independence but still gives each person help with daily living. There's an in-house salon and barber, with weekly laundry service and daily housekeeping taken care of, and everyone gets three meals a day in a restaurant-style dining room, with choices like the At Home Café for snacks. Residents can get tray service too if they're not feeling up to joining others.
The grounds stretch out to walking paths and gardens, with a gazebo and ponds, so folks who want some air can take walks or just watch the water, and the facility has activities for fitness and recreation plus social, educational, and cultural programs happening regularly, which help people keep busy and connect. There's social space, a full dining room, and large apartments-some with private baths-plus amenities like phone and cable television in every room, and everyone has access to walkers, canes, and wheelchairs if needed.
Babylon Beach House coordinates hospice care with Good Shepherd Hospice for those nearing end of life, and it offers short-term respite care for a weekend, a few weeks, or longer if families need relief. Nurses and aides monitor weight and provide custom care plans, while special diets and meals are always available for those who need them, and the staff put together exercise programs and schedule entertainment events based on the interests of residents, trying to keep the environment both nurturing and active.
Families don't pay a service fee when seeking care here, and a senior living advisor helps guide families through options for free, providing information about pricing, availability, and community details. The facility allows people to leave verified reviews, and right now it holds a high rating of 4.5 stars for its staff, cleanliness, and general care. Apartment-style living means maintenance is handled, and people get support when needed while still being able to make their own choices, which is important for seniors who want to keep as much independence as possible. The business is open early, from 5:00 AM on both weekdays and weekends, and closes at 9:00 PM on weekdays and 5:30 PM on weekends. Babylon Beach House tries to balance safety, social activity, and personal care, all in a waterfront lodge that's been around and trusted for a long time.
