When it comes to looking after your loved ones, it’s important that you seek the best care possible for their personal circumstances. Other assisted living facilities may focus on individuals with a variety of needs, but here at Harbor House, in Long Island, NY, caring for those with dementia is all we do. Whether your loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s recently or is suffering another memory impairment, we can help. Harbor assisted living is dedicated to working with elderly individuals who suffer from memory impairment. It can be difficult to cope with your loved one’s recent forgetfulness, but our trained staff is well-equipped to ensure patients can still live a happy, healthy life. At our assisted living facility in Oyster Bay, NY, we’re proud to serve others and provide them with individualized treatment that caters to their particular needs.

Dementia Care isn’t just part of what we do, it’s all we do.

About Us

Harbor House is the first residential facility in New York dedicated to patients with Alzheimer’s disease and memory impairments. With everything under one roof, we place our residents on one of three floors according to the specific social and cognitive abilities of each individual. Having everything they need on one floor allows our residents to freely move around on one level and to feel comfortable with their peers. Each floor has its own nursing team, med techs, and aides to ensure that every resident gets the care and attention they need. Additionally, our therapeutic recreation program provides appropriate activities that encourage social involvement; improve cognition, movement, and motor skills; and give each person a sense of achievement.

Mission Statement

The mission of Harbor House assisted living is to provide comprehensive, compassionate, and dignified care to each one of our residents. We are personally invested in every facet of our resident’s well-being including their outward appearance and their emotional, cognitive, and physical health. Our Harbor assisted living residents always come first, and we maintain an unending commitment to always acting in the best interest of our residents and their families.
