Learn More About Independent Living

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.

With Life Plan, we have you covered

The Harborside is a Life Plan community. That means, you will receive access to a full continuum of licensed on-site health care including enriched housing, memory support, rehabilitation, award-winning skilled-nursing and hospice care. You have the comfort of knowing that your caregivers are right here should you ever need them, and your monthly fee won't change when you receive care.
