Adult Day Care Communities in Far Rockaway, NY

"This living facility is awesome. They have such a great program for the residents to meet with high school students from The Mary Louis Academy and build a bond every Thursdays throughout the entire school year. On these visiting trips, the residents would participate in playing bingo, interacting with the students and it was mostly grandmothers and grandfathers. Usually, the grandmothers were more chatty, expectantly. The staff was courteous and cared for the residents, food was okay, environment was good. I had a chance to speak with numerous residents, we painted the grandmother's nails and made them feel pretty. Sometimes when your living in a facility for various reasons, you kind of just want to talk to people and get to know someone else or have someone make you feel good about yourself, whether it's being proud talking about your family or what not; that is what we provided them with, company and companionship. This is how I always envisioned what a nursing home should feel like. They should hold activities for the residents to feel more involved in society and not just the packed away, put them out of your thoughts, because they are old. I felt the residents were living comfortably and the staff was always nearby to assist the residents. The experience was overall friendly, inviting, safe, and warm. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone and everyone. "

"My husband moved into Chapin Home for the Aging. I’m very pleased; they’re very caring. The place is spacious, it has a variety of activities, and I like the staff that they have. Everybody tries to be as helpful as possible given the situation, and on that basis, I would highly recommend it."

"I have been in Bushwick Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing, and I didn't like it. People walk past you when you're calling them when you need help; I didn't like it at all. It's decent and clean. The only thing is that when you're sitting there by yourself and you're yelling, everyone acts like can't they hear me. These people are walking by working. They leave you in your room sitting; that's not good. I couldn't walk at the time, and it was hard for me to get to the bathroom. I wore pampers, and they just left me. They came there when they were ready. With that being said, it's always clean and everything. it is everything that's behind that makes it all bad. I went there to have physical therapy, and that was about it. The food was not for me. I'm allergic to onions, and everything they cook had onions. They really had to substitute with chicken, and then they weren't doing that right. They have lunch and all that. Breakfast was half okay, I'm allergic to onions so they had to substitute. The way I eat every day, I eat chicken. I didn't mind because I like chicken, but they could have substituted it with something else - anything. People have pizza and everything. I don't have it. Others have a sandwich and all that; so, not good. I like the way it's put together. It's clean and decent. It's just, the food and the people walking past you, are the two things that to me that are just out of place. A couple people that were working there (two or three people) walk past while I was sitting there calling them, and I was in a single room. They just kept walking past. The rest of the staff was all right. You know, few people that was alright and few people that wasn't. There were people working on the floor that are sometimes are not good at all. They have some staff members that were not all that either. You had to call and look for them. You have to get them when you needed them. I recommend they substitute the food for people who were allergic and make sure they get better staff on the floor. If you want to be on the floor working, you got to be on the floor working."

"I wish I had known before sending my father into Margaret Tietz that their facility was not as their web site suggests, caring and kind with the cute little hearts. The nursing staff was unkind, the doctors were never available (it was like pulling teeth to get them to see patients), and in my father's case, I don't know why, but they didn't feel it was necessary to monitor someone as sick as dad while giving him coumadin, a blood thinner. When someone has a bad heart, bleeds easily and bruises easily, I think most would agree they should be monitored frequently. Their physical therapy was pretty good, and he even liked it, but a coumadin overdose sent him right back to the hospital. It took about 4 days to get the bleeding under control. Dad didn't have to die. Cookie-cutter medicine just doesn't work."

"This place is a perfect nursing home.I have a grandmother that is in there. The workers and nurses treated her with so much love. My grandmother enjoyed being there. I see her smiling every time I come to visit. I never seen a rude disrespectful worker at that nursing home. This nursing home was also very clean and sanitary. In this place they have great food for the residents. My grandmother enjoys the food very much. The food the chefs serve at that nursing home looked like food you would order from a restaurant. This nursing home has a lot of nurses working there so if someone got really hurt then a nurse would be very close by. My grandmother loves being here because of the fun activities there are in the nursing home. She is never bored. This nursing home is good because people are respectful, the food is good and this place is clean. "

"I liked Lucille Rose Adult Day Health Care Program when I visited there. The place was very secured. There was security personnel around and non-residents were not allowed to get in unless thoroughly inspected. I was not able to look at the rooms but the lobby was beautiful. "
