Independent Living
The freedom to do what you love starts here.
Focus on what’s important to you
At The Harborside, independent living gives you complete freedom to live your life as you choose. Swim laps in the pool or shoot some pool in the billiards parlor. Create glass art in the creative arts studio or raise a glass with friends. With all the amenities The Harborside has to offer, you can focus on doing what’s most important to you.
When you choose independent living in New York at The Harborside, you’ll receive a full complement of services—all for a one-time entrance and monthly service fee. This includes all utilities, gourmet dining, weekly housekeeping, interior and exterior maintenance, a full suite of on-site and off-site educational and cultural programs and numerous daily activities to keep you active.

How Do They Compare?
We encourage those looking at senior living options to explore all aspects of each community. You may find this list helpful when making comparisons between different types of communities. We hope you will see the many value benefits related to a not-for-profit Life Plan community such as The Harborside.
Not-for-Profit Life Plan Communities | For-Profit Rental Communities |
---|---|
Typically, long-range planning – a proactive choice | Typically, a needs-based move – a reactive choice |
An investment in your daily lifestyle and surroundings | Limited investment in the building/programs |
A continual investment in upkeep at the community with the reinvestment of resources and local ownership | Less long-range planning by corporate entity; distance from corporate decisions |
Full continuum of supportive services all under one roof | Often does not offer a full continuum of living, which would require a future move |
Estate protection of an entrance fee (up to 80% refundable) | No entrance fee; higher monthly fees |
Tends to attract younger residents | Typically attracts a frailer resident due to waiting longer to make the choice |
Longer resident length of stay allows for more meaningful connections with fellow residents | Shorter resident length of stay (more transient environment) |
Revenues exceeding expenses (profits) are reinvested back into the community to benefit the residents | Profits benefit executives, shareholders, etc. |
