Senior Living Facility Rebrands As The Sinclair At Port Washington

PORT WASHINGTON, NY — The Harborside, one of Long Island’s best-known senior living communities, is celebrating a new beginning as The Sinclair at Port Washington, opening a new era of flexibility and choice for older adults.

The Sinclair takes its name from Nobel Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis, who lived in Port Washington in the early 1900s during a formative time in his literary career.

A transformational $28-million renovation plan is currently underway to refresh apartments, common areas, and amenity spaces—positioning The Sinclair as a new high watermark for independent senior living on Long Island and across the broader New York metropolitan region.

“While the location and fundamentals of the property have always been first-class, The Harborside struggled due to limited reinvestment following its bankruptcy nearly a decade ago,” said Curt Schaller, Co-Founder and Principal of Focus Healthcare Partners LLC. “The Sinclair's no-entrance-fee rental model, Chelsea Senior Living’s operational excellence, and Focus Healthcare Partner’s $28 million investment commitment will combine to create a new high watermark for independent living on Long Island."

Various upgrades for The Sinclair are planned including a comprehensive wellness center with therapy, fitness, and spa components, a new culinary program, on‑site movie theater and expanded outdoor recreation featuring pickleball and bocce courts.

After years of limited investment under prior ownership, The Sinclair at Port Washington’s residents are already benefitting from enhanced amenities and services, such as:

• Valet parking and resident transportation with a new vehicle fleet.
• Third‑party rehabilitation, including popular water‑aerobics classes and therapeutic programming designed specifically for active seniors.
