The Arbors Assisted Living Communities at Islandia East sits just off the Long Island Expressway at Exit 57, which makes it easy to get to shopping, restaurants, banks, and other places like Starbucks and Dave & Buster's. The place offers a mix of comfort and support, giving seniors a chance to keep their independence while getting whatever help they need, and the staff's known for being caring, with a kind, family-like feeling you notice right away. The community accepts pets, the building is handicap accessible, and spacious, sunny rooms sometimes even have balconies, making it feel homey and open for residents to enjoy, and they can spend time in indoor and outdoor common areas, walk the paths, or relax in the tranquil garden.
All meals are included, with farm-to-table food served restaurant-style and plenty of options, and there's always something to do, from movie nights, music, and resident-run events, to exercise in the fitness center, or group games in the game room, and the activities cover both fun and learning, with programs to help residents stay engaged and active. The community also has a computer lab and high-speed internet, which lets seniors keep up with news, family, or hobbies, and there's a beautician onsite, plus devotional services both on and off the property if anyone wants them.
Health and safety are a core focus, and residents get in-room doctor visits, support from trained aides, physical, speech, and occupational therapy, podiatry services, and a 24-hour call system. The nursing team provides 12-16 hour supervision daily, and the staff help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or medication, making sure everyone's treated with dignity and respect. For those with memory issues such as Alzheimer's or other dementias, there's the SafeCare Neighborhood, which gives extra attention and a secure environment, and the memory care team has special training and follows customized care plans, with therapy and activities to encourage mental engagement and safety, and residents can stay here as their needs change with aging in place support.
Independence is important here, and seniors can choose from assisted living, independent living, or memory care, with home care options available for those who still live at home but want help with things like companionship or non-medical needs. Families often mention that the staff are helpful, joyful, and good at listening, and the sense of community stands out, with people saying it's like a big family, and this has led to awards like Best of Senior Living and the All Star Award, based on reviews from residents and their families. Personal service plans are set up by professionals for each resident, so care matches what each person needs and wants, and the whole place runs on an all-inclusive rate with no extra fees or sudden care level increases, starting at $4,300 a month depending on availability. Parking is on site for residents, and there's complimentary transportation, which makes trips to nearby Northwell Health or CVS Pharmacy simple and convenient, and the Heroes Welcome program recognizes veterans and first responders as special members of the community. The Arbors at Islandia East aims to offer seniors a safe, happy, and supportive place to live with comfort, activity, and care provided every day.
