The Bay Shore market specifically

Southside Hospital (Northwell) is based here, and a revitalizing downtown has added new senior and mixed-use housing alongside the village's established Atria Bay Shore community, occupying a restored 19th-century mansion.

Families weighing Bay Shore often also look at Babylon to the west or Patchogue to the east, all connected by the same LIRR Babylon Branch line.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

You can check any facility's record free. NYS Health Profiles (profiles.health.ny.gov) publishes license status and inspection history free. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

Does NYU Langone have Long Island hospital locations, and what should I know about discharge planning there?

Yes. NYU Langone operates two Long Island hospital campuses: NYU Langone Hospital-Long Island, a 591-bed medical center at 259 First Street in Mineola, formerly Winthrop-University Hospital, renamed in November 2020, home to Nassau County's only adult Level 1 Trauma Center and the NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine; and NYU Langone Hospital-Suffolk. As with any hospital system, discharge planning is coordinated by staff at the specific campus where a patient is admitted.

My parent just fell and is in the hospital - what's the first call I should make?

For families in Nassau or Suffolk County, the Office for the Aging in your parent's home county is a good first call - Nassau County Office for the Aging at 516-227-8900, or Suffolk County Office for the Aging at 631-853-8200. Both function as the local NY Connects access point, a free service that helps families understand care options, eligibility, and next steps after a hospital event, without any cost or obligation.

My father was just diagnosed with dementia - what should we be planning for on Long Island?

A new dementia diagnosis typically means starting to think about progressively higher levels of support: from in-home caregiving, to a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence (SNALR)-certified memory care community, to eventually possibly a nursing home. The Nassau (516-227-8900) or Suffolk (631-853-8200) County Office for the Aging can connect families to local resources and benefits counseling as needs evolve, and it's worth confirming any Long Island community marketing memory care actually holds SNALR certification via NYS Health Profiles.

I'm exhausted from caring for my spouse or parent - what support exists for caregivers on Long Island?

Both the Nassau County Office for the Aging (516-227-8900) and Suffolk County Office for the Aging (631-853-8200) serve as local NY Connects access points and can help connect exhausted family caregivers to respite options, including adult day health care, at a New York State median of $144 per day, and in-home caregiver support, at a state median of $35 per hour, which can relieve some of the daily burden without requiring a full residential placement.
