Independent Living
The freedom to do what you love starts here.
Focus on what’s important to you
At The Amsterdam, 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 Amsterdam has to offer, you can focus on doing what’s most important to you.
When you choose independent living in New York at The Amsterdam, 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 Care, we've got you covered
The Amsterdam is a Life Care 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.
How Do They Compare?
We encourage those looking at senior living options to explore all aspects of each community. You may find this list helpful when making comparisons between different types of communities. We hope you will see the many value benefits related to a not-for-profit life plan community such as The Amsterdam at Harborside.
| Not-for-Profit Life Plan Communities | For-Profit Rental Communities |
|---|---|
| Typically, long-range planning – a proactive choice | Typically, a needs-based move – a reactive choice |
| An investment in your daily lifestyle and surroundings | Limited investment in the building/programs |
| Less deferred maintenance and upkeep at the community as decisions are made locally | Less long-range planning by corporate entity; distance from corporate decisions |
| Full continuum of supportive services without an additional move offsite | Often lack full continuum of living, which can require a future move offsite in the time of a health crisis |
| Estate protection of an entrance fee (up to x% refundable) | No entrance fee; higher monthly fees |
| Tends to attract younger residents | Typically attracts a frailer resident due to waiting longer to make the choice |
| Longer resident length of stay | Shorter resident length of stay (more transient environment) |
| Revenues exceeding expenses (profits) are reinvested back into the community to benefit the residents | Profits benefit executives, shareholders, etc. |
| Certainty of culture with local management and ownership | Uncertainty of future with buyout/acquisition possibilities based on profit motive |
