Sophisticated interior design separates this upscale care community

Mary Cook & Associates employed principles of residential design, instead of traditional hospitality design, to achieve a club-like feel in this upscale continuing care retirement community. Overlooking the water on Long Island, the common areas feature a main lobby with a stone fireplace, a library, a bar and five formal dining rooms. Residents rave about the central gathering space because it feels like a natural extension of their homes.
