Our Local Story
THE ARBORS STORY
From Personal Experience to Community Impact
At The Arbors, our story begins with two simple words: Value and Quality.
Founded by Karen Solomon in 2005, The Arbors was born from a passion to provide seniors with exceptional care, delicious meals, and engaging programs that nurture the soul. Karen built The Arbors with one goal in mind: to offer families peace of mind and residents a life full of comfort, activity, and connection.
For Karen, this mission is deeply personal. When her own mother, Grace, needed more support than could be provided at home, Karen and her team ensured her mother thrived in one of The Arbors communities. Grace’s improved health and happiness reinforced the importance of personalized, hands-on care, something that guides every decision we make today.
Nearly two decades later, The Arbors has grown to five assisted living communities across Long Island, earning the trust of retired police officers, firefighters, teachers, nurses, and many other hardworking families. Our team of experienced, mission-driven professionals makes decisions locally, right here on Long Island. Unlike large corporate operations, we keep our corporate office in one of our own buildings and focus exclusively on Nassau and Suffolk counties.
At The Arbors, families discover care that exceeds expectations, delivered with genuine warmth and local expertise. Every resident becomes part of our family, and every community reflects our unwavering commitment to quality, value, and personal attention.

TESTIMONIALS
See What Families and Residents Are Saying About The Arbors Assisted Living
My mother Sandy recent moved into the Arbors of Islandia and was having a rough transition from her life in Florida to a new setting in Long Island. There were challenging moments but the people of Islandia have been especially gracious and patient, listening to my mother and making her as comfortable and welcome as possible.

My dad, Gaspar, was at the Arbors at Westbury for over 5 years. It was the best decision my sisters and I could’ve made. They become one big family. From everyone that works there to all the residents they all look out and care for one another. It starts at the top. And each person that worked there genuinely became part of the family. My dad received great care there until he passed.

To the Staff of The Arbors, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for taking such good care of my parents, John & Minnie Grillo. Lord knows, that can’t be easy, but you do it with tenderness and a smile. God bless you all.
