Long Beach Assisted Living sits along the Long Beach Boardwalk in New York, inside a historic building once known as the Hotel Ocean Crest, and residents can enjoy sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean right from the dining hall, which gives meals a kind of cruise ship ambiance, with kosher menus prepared by chefs and a dietary team who work to meet everyone's nutritional needs and stick to Kosher Dietary Laws in the dining room, though there are guest dining spaces set aside for non-kosher meals if that's preferred, and the community holds together for wholesome, tasty food three times a day with a Social Cafe serving snacks, coffee, and tea with a view. The facility holds 200 ALP-approved beds in clean and updated rooms, offering choices like private or shared rooms, private bathrooms, and little amenities such as cable or satellite TV if residents want it. The environment aims to mimic the comforts of home, keeping things relaxed and friendly, with a staff that tries to make every resident feel comfortable and safe, offering 24-hour care with a 24-hour call system and licensed by the New York State Department of Health.
Residents get a wide range of personal care with help for daily things like bathing, dressing, medication management, and supervision, available up to 24 hours a day, with Medicaid and the Licensed Home Care Services Agency able to cover those services at no extra cost for folks who qualify. There's a dedicated Wellness Department led by a Registered Nurse and a Licensed Practical Nurse Supervisor, plus certified Medication Technicians and Home Health Aides on staff, and medical specialties come right to the facility for things like podiatry, optometry, psychiatry, pain management, ENT, cardiology, gynecology, and more, with in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The recreation staff is friendly and keeps folks busy with daily activities, which run from yoga, tai chi, and dance therapy to gentler stretching, art clubs, and exercise classes, plus Bingo, cards, board games, art lessons, poetry readings, sports, and book clubs. Social programs make it easy to connect and foster friendships, which helps residents stay engaged and happy. The facility also honors different faiths, with volunteers offering religious services for the Jewish, Catholic, and Christian residents in their worship spaces, and those wanting peace and quiet can visit the library, lounges, or spend time outside on the boardwalk for a bit of sea air on a calm day.
Long Beach Assisted Living tries to keep things simple and clear, whether it's making sure the elevators work, keeping laundry and housekeeping taken care of, or letting families get to know caregivers thanks to regular schedules. People who can't pay privately can use Medicaid, SSI, or SSA funding to cover costs, and the facility keeps accommodations affordable, giving residents and families some peace of mind as folks age. There's always oversight by highly professional and empathetic staff, with the goal to promote wellness, support independence where possible, and meet both physical and emotional needs in a welcoming setting, so seniors who need some help but still want to enjoy life near the ocean feel at home as the days go by.
