10 Best Independent Living Communities in Shelter Island, NY

I'm pleased with the responsiveness of staff and think the pieces are in place for my aunt to have a good experience. I picked this community because of proximity to family and where my aunt used to live.

This is a well maintained senior complex with amenities you might not expect to find. The pool is comfortable, the putting green is sufficient and the shuffle board and bocce ball are located near the pool. The grounds are manicured and management does an excellent job of keeping abreast of all that is occurring within the buildings. Space wise the two bedroom apartment is quite large with ample closet space, a nice patio or balcony space, and nice views. Each building is set up to provide a lovely view of trees and garden areas. I also viewed the one bedroom and it is also much larger than you would expect for the price charged. My only complaint is that some of the cabinets and the washer and dryer stackable units need to be updated. Otherwise my stay was terrific. The bonus factor for me was finding out how many seniors were in my midst not only at the complex but at the local stores and various locations. Great location, bus outside the main road at the front entrance and the complex exits to a big shopping center lot- with a grocery store, home depot, bagel store, and a couple of restaurants. It is worth the move!!

Our first impression was with the community itself, it is so clean, very bright, open, sunny and airy. Most of the staff members have been great, but we have had a few issues that take much longer than needed to get resolved and some of that has to do with their responsiveness.
