How does A Place for Mom score The Harborside?

A Place for Mom has scored The Harborside 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score. We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care. Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.

A Positive move

Our overall experience has been very positive. Everyone we have met, both staff and residents has been very friendly. We have a two bedroom apartment. The living room and dining space is comfortable. It seems that between eating and activities we spend very little time in the apartment . The food is generally good, and there are choices if something doesn't appeal to you. Although some individuals need the help of an aid, the population is generally able to manage independently.

I recently visited The Sinclair at Port Washington. The sales team was amazing and knowledgeable, making me feel extremely comfortable. I was able to see virtual plans for the big renovation. Everything is going to be absolutely stunning, both in the immediate and near future. The other staff were extremely warm and welcoming as well, from the concierge when you first walk in to the dietary staff and the rest of the management team that I met. I also got to experience the dining and I must say, the food was terrific! Chef [name removed] came out to introduce himself and he couldn’t have been any nicer. The activity calendar looked full and exciting with a lot of fun things planned! Lots of options of things to do.

The building was beautiful and the salesperson that toured me was a complete professional. When my mom is ready for the move, Sinclair will be our choice. Although we did get a chance to have lunch at the community, I was blown away by the menu choices presentation of the meals being served.

I recently visited and was so excited to see everything they have planned. The apartments are huge and it seems like when they go through the renovation they will be right out of a magazine, although what I saw was already very nice. The main floor is already beautiful and the plans for what to come are amazing! [name removed] and [name removed] both spent time with me and my family and are incredibly knowledgeable and patient. I had lots of questions. They asked us to join for dinner and it was like eating at a fine dining restaurant. That put us all over the edge. I have nothing but great things to say. Number one on our list! And the price for what you are getting is incredible!

I recently toured The Sinclair and learned of the upcoming renovations. There are new owners and the community is now "rental" which means you can just rent an apartment instead of putting down a large buy in fee. They have a few upcoming events which I will make sure I check out.

The Sinclair is a beautiful senior living community now and will be going through an incredible transformation in the coming year. Residents are so welcoming and looked happy and engaged with eachother during my recent drop by during a happy hour. Afternoon happy hour with music and good friends is just what I am looking for An impressive community just a few minutes from Roslyn and so close to Downtown Port Washington. Recommend a visit to see for yourself.

Great experience on a recent visit to The Sinclair. Was so easy for me as I live in Roslyn. The Sinclair is perfectly located between Port Washington and Roslyn Right next door to golf course and so close to North Hempstead Beach. Looking for future for senior living for a dear friend. Warm, welcoming and everyone was so inviting during the hour spent at The Sinclair. Truly looks like a great Independent Living community. Highly recommend a visit.

Great visit - a gem of a community

Visited my Aunt at the new Sinclair. Had not been to visit since the purchase in May. Impressed with the staff, the positive changes in the community spaces and also the delicious lunch. Looking forward to the changes take place over the next year. A gem of a community now and into the future.

Incredible Transformation

The Sinclair at Port Washington has transformed itself since new ownership took over in [date removed]. The culinary program is out of this world with Chef [name removed] with daily specials and incredible entrees' with flare and class. The Lifestyle program has stepped up with activities from what they're calling Sinclair Signature Programming. Activities from Lifelong Learning, Social Responsibility, Cultural Arts Collective, and Vibrant Wellness Programs to name a few. This community is vibrant in all way. And the best part is it is no longer a buy-in, but a 30-day to 30-day rental with three meals a day and housekeeping as part of the rent and all the other aforementioned. Did I share there is even Valet Parking.

The staff during the tour was wonderful. The community was more than we wanted to spend, and the community was too large for my loved one. I didn't feel as a welcoming and a homey feeling when we walked into the community.

My Opinion of The Amsterdam during the pandemic

The community has been COVID free. It gets more expensive each year due to the raise of rent. You have to give a big down payment which the community keeps. If you have to move out then the community would refund your payment. If you can afford this community compared to other communities this is the place to be. The maintenance is about half of the other communities. I would recommend the community to others.

BEWARE

BEWARE My mother began in independent living and shortly thereafter went down to Enriched Housing on the 2nd floor. I came to learn that the head of the unit, [name removed] with the backing of the administration, pushes residents out of the unit because there are not enough rooms for those coming in from independent living. [Name removed], et al, forces the residents to the memory unit or the nursing home. Some families took their resident out of the Amsterdam, some acquiesced and I got a lawyer who successfully kept her in the unit. At that point, her room was rarely cleaned. [Name removed] would not allow the staff to talk to me or they would be reprimanded, or worse. They had my mother examined by their own doctor and when he agreed with me that the Enriched unit was appropriate, [name removed] and a social worker tried, unsuccessfully, to have him retract his assessment. Also, the food is poor: sugary drinks land low quality desserts.

This would be a great option for my Dad (if I didnt need to also place my brother). There doesnt appear to be as much socialization for him as at The Regency but this property is safe secure clean and would offer my Dad great care. He would need to purchase rent his own furniture for a unit though whereas the Regency comes furnished.

My husband was in the Tuttle Center for over 2 months. We would rate all of the employees-nurses-social worker-PT and OT - right down to the food service employees as the very best. My husband loved staying there as well as all the employees. Everyone was very kind and did their very best to help. Even after leaving, I was able to call and speak with the social worker, Renee, who continued to be of great help.

Friendship at the Amsterdam

When my husband and I first came to live at the Amsterdam at Harborside we immediately became involved in many of the activities offered to residents in Independent Living. Through our experiences at committee meetings, the bridge table, exercise classes and especially our nightly dinners we met and enjoyed the company of our fellow residents. We had no idea how important that would become when, several years later, my husband's health suffered a decline and he became a resident of the Tuttle Center's skilled nursing unit. It was more than the obvious financial advantage, since our monthly maintenance payments did not rise even though I stayed in our apartment and he resided in the health center. It was also more than the fact that by our living in the same building I could visit my husband easily at any hour of the day or night. It was mostly that neither of us felt alone. Frien ds from Independent Living dropped in to say hello to him regularly. Activities and mealtimes in the Tuttle Center's cheerful dining room enabled him to interact with his fellow patients. I, on the other hand, never lacked for someone to eat dinner with or to accompany me to some entertainment or activity. Living here at the Amsterdam was a very different experience from having a spouse in a nursing home in another location. When my husband eventually passed away the support and caring I received from the Tuttle staff and all our friends was quite overwhelming. My children and I will be forever grateful

I am a resident of The Amsterdam at Harborside which is an independent living retirement community with continuing care available when needed at no extra cost. The amenities and activities at the Amsterdam are terrific, but the residents are the best part of it. It really is like one big family. Oh yes, the dining room serves great meals with plenty of options and the service is very good. On top of that, I spent some time as a recovering patient at the Tuttle Center, the attached continuing care facility, and I and can easily say that it is a great facility. It offers skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care and hospice. The complex, like the Amsterdam itself, is only a few years old, which is a big plus, but more importantly the staff was very caring. One of the benefits for my wife and I is the use of the Tuttle throughout our lifetime at no extra cost. It was very reassuring to see the quality of care that is available to us. On top of that, since the Tuttle is attached to The Amsterdam, my wife could easily visit me at any time and so could other friends that we have made here. I can send you a copy of our newsletter if you are interested. It is totally created by the Independent Residents and we are proud of it. (I take most of the photos.) If you would like a copy by Email, contact management and tell them that Edes offered to send it.

Tips for evaluating your community options. Test Sanity (KJ)

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members: Test Sanity (KJ)

Know New York’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about New York’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports. Test Sanity (KJ)

Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit. Test Sanity (KJ)

Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget. Test Sanity (KJ)
