Description
About This Community
Alzheimer's and dementia memory care for Long Island seniors.
At The Amsterdam at Harborside, our goal is to create pleasant days and meaningful moments for our residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Our approach to memory support is truly unique — a culmination of two innovative theories.
Naomi Feil's Validation Method is based on the principle that all residents' opinions need to be acknowledged, respected, heard and treated as a legitimate expression of their feelings, regardless of whether or not the caregiver agrees.
Landmarks for Living® is a philosophy of memory care that emphasizes familiar schedules in a secure, dedicated neighborhood to create an environment that promotes choice, celebrates accomplishments and helps residents with Alzheimer’s or other forms of memory loss retain and restore independence.
The professionals at The Amsterdam at Harborsider are committed to the compassionate support of residents with memory loss. Our staff takes the time to learn the history of each resident and build a nurturing bond that goes beyond the basics of caregiving. And we deliver a high level of life-enriching care, encouraging the capabilities of each individual.

The apartments that The Harborside have were very attractive. The size was to our liking. The kitchen had ovens and stoves. The number of residents who were walking around by themselves was a very large percentage. People were very friendly, too. The negative thing about it was the down payment for the apartment that we liked was a large amount of money, which would be returnable when we leave one way or another. The person who gave us a tour was very confident. Then we ate in the dining room, and the food was fine. The location is quite nice. It's very close to the North Shore. You can see the water from some of the windows. It's in walking distance to Bar Beach, which is a public beach area.

I went to The Amsterdam at Harborside a couple of times and it was quite a lovely place. It's just expensive, because you have to buy-in, but it's a great-looking facility. The design was nice. There's a lot of places for socializing, and it offers a lot of things to do, even for outsiders, to come in. They also host different types of things like wine and cheese nights, movies, and lectures. They have physical therapy right onsite, and the place is beautiful, clean, and the apartments are nice and big. There are some people where they pay monthly, and it includes everything. So, I think it's the location that makes it a little expensive.

I did a review in 2014. This is an update.
The pandemic has obviously slowed us down a bit, but I must say that the staff has done a remarkable job (as usual) of keeping the virus under control and introducing new programs like Zoom to keep us connected. It will be great to get back to using the dining room, but in the meantime, the folks in the kitchen successfully switched to delivering all our meals to our rooms. On top of that, our new chef creates some of the tastiest meals that I have ever eaten. In short, life here is still hard to beat. - thanks to management and and our Amsterdam family.

Everything at The Amsterdam at Harborside was very nice and I was very pleased with it. They had lectures, exercises, and card games. The dining area looked very nice.

They moved to The Amsterdam; it was very spacious, and the apartments were a very nice size. The assisted living had more of a medical model -- which they need because of their disabilities. They have lots of activities right on the floor -- Bingo, yoga, music, and things like that. They also have a van that will take them to little shopping trips. The staff was very helpful, informative, and available. They get back to you right away if they don?t know something. They have laundry, housekeeping, and three meals a day, and they do have a van for doctor?s appointments up to a certain radius. It?s been good so far.

My aunts 86 years old and a little over a year ago living on her own became t troublesome for her. In February of last year she moved to The Amsterdam at Harborside since she moved there I been visiting her at least twice a month. Every visit has been a pleasant experience. I can tell the staff treats her extremely well and is polite and courteous. The food is great and she made a lot of new friends. I would definitely recommend this facility anyone looking for a nice place filled with friendly staff and great food
