New Nautilus Hotel in Atlantic Beach, NY, offers Independent Living with a clinical overlay that can accommodate residents who need modest medical oversight. Independent Living residents can receive oxygen therapy and the staff is trained to support moderate dementia conditions, providing an added safety net without moving into a traditional memory-care setting.

Care delivery is reinforced by complete background checks on employees and an on-site Activity Director who plans structured engagement. Podiatry visits are scheduled inside the community, and a dedicated therapy room allows residents to work on mobility or rehabilitation goals without leaving the building. Direct personal care is available for those who need help with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting, all at a full-assistance level. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision to one- and two-person assists, full mechanical lift transfers, and bed-bound repositioning, so residents who use walkers or wheelchairs—or who cannot bear weight—can still remain in the Independent Living setting.

Apartments vary in size and layout; some include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnished living areas, independent temperature controls, and cable service, while others offer a subset of these features. Routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included for all units. Independent Living residents may opt for additional housekeeping, laundry specifically for IL, and a monthly meal plan designed for self-sufficient seniors who prefer flexibility.

Dining is served in a communal setting three times a day, and snacks are always available. Menus emphasize balanced nutrition and portion control, and residents who have purchased the Independent Living meal plan can count on consistent access to these offerings without managing grocery shopping or cooking.

The community is wheelchair accessible and allows smoking in designated outdoor areas. On-site conveniences include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, communal gardens, library, and regularly scheduled religious services. A concierge can arrange transportation or special requests, and the property is close to public transit, enabling residents to reach area shops, appointments, and beaches with minimal hassle.
