Assisted Living Communities in Babylon, NY

"My cousin was a resident of The Arbors Assisted Living at Hauppauge. I really liked Charlie. He helped me a lot with my situation and tried to move my cousin and get him in a nice place. So, the staff was excellent. I loved the place. Cindy and Charlie I worked with the most, and the doctor there was excellent at calling me all the time. The whole facility was beautiful, and I was very happy with him being there and was hoping he could stay there for a while, but his health didn't allow that. The whole thing was like living in a hotel, like being at a resort compared to where he was. I was there when they had people playing bingo and doing activities in the lounge, but my cousin couldn't participate. It was a lot more money than where I had him previously, but compared to other places, it was fair."

"The rooms are well-kept, spacious, and bright. The staff are all friendly and genuinely seem like they love what they do. My mom is really thriving there"

"Atria Huntington is a very good place. It's excellent. My friend gets very good care, and he is very happy there. His room is very large. The building was a school once, so everybody had one large room and a bathroom. The food is very good. They have a dining room and three meals a day. It's very nice. They have two movies a day, they have music singers, speakers, and things like that, and they have holiday parties. They have very nice activities. I go there frequently."

"I got to Sunrise of Huntington early, so I walked around the whole place and checked the parking. The landscaping was good. I went in and they showed me those boards, like a little computer terminal where you put your name so it's on file that you're in the building for the safety of the residents. I was given a tour of the building and I was taken to a room. It was a two person room, but it was just being set up, and I couldn't find anything negative about it. They had the menu. They had the people that would help and they also had a nurse. If a resident needed medicine, they would do that too. They were friendly. They said their hellos. They were setting up for something where somebody was going to play an instrument or something. I was shown to the room, how it was set up, and the bedrooms had grab bars."

"My mom moved into The Arbors Assisted Living at Islandia. They're willing to give extra care where other communities want. The staff is very good and caring. I have not tried the food, but my mom likes it. They have bingo and other games where they interact with the residents."

"I went to Orchard Estate of Woodbury. I like it. It was a contender. It was not that big. The staff was very nice. The place was divided into four different sections, and each section had its own center. What that meant was that the residents didn't have to walk too much. They didn't have kitchens. The place was very nice and very clean. Most residents were not in wheelchairs or anything like that. The smell of the place was nice; it didn't bother me. The dining area was very nice and very private. Because they were divided, they had like six or seven tables, so it wasn't overwhelming for the residents. Parking was very nice. There's plenty of parking. The patio or garden was very nice and very well done."

"I'm very impressed with Birchwood Suites. I liked it very much, but I want to see other options, and the price was high. I want independent living, and I'd like to have a place to sit outside, and I am coming with my cat. I like that I had kind of my own cottage with two entrances, and it had an outside little tiny patio where I could sit. I spoke to the director, Natasha, and she led me around the place. She was very nice and very encouraging. The facility looked pretty good. I had a separate bedroom, a separate living room, and a small kitchenette. The bathroom looked good."

"I got to tour Atria East Northport. Diego gave me a tour. It was very pleasant surroundings. Lovely outdoors. People seemed to be active. There were activities and opportunities to watch movies and do various activities. Nice accommodations as far as the room accommodations. The common areas were very nice, too. I liked Atria East Northport. It also happened to be within walking distance of my house. My husband, as the weeks passed, became more and more debilitated, so I needed a place with a little more hands-on nursing, so Atria would have been my choice for assisted living. It appeared to be clean and well-kept. Nice physical surroundings. The staff was very pleasant, very accommodating, and very available. He made himself available if I had any questions. He would either answer immediately or get right back to me. And as we walked around, the other staff were smiling and friendly."

"My mom moved to The Arbors at Bohemia. The staff is pretty accommodating and the nurses. The facilities are clean. The price was reasonable. The layout is pretty good. My mom said the food is good there. There's always something to do there. They take them out if they want to go to the store and stuff like that. They have a beauty parlor there and they do their nails. For the value of money, everything is inclusive."

"Whisper Woods of Smithtown seemed very clean and very professionally run. The staff during the tour was very knowledgeable. Everything looked wonderful. It was very comfortable."

"We toured Sunrise of Smithtown, we liked it very much, and we're going back next Wednesday. It just seems very nice, almost like home, it's as close as you can get to it. We were very pleased with it. We saw the lady that was touring us, she was very nice too, and the manager, but I don't remember her name. She was also very nice. The room was very nice, spacious, and very modern. It had a small kitchenette area. It was very nice, more than I expected. It has its own bath. The dining area was beautiful. Everything was perfectly clean to me. It's nearby."

"We looked at Sunrise of East Meadow. We liked it. We thought it looked very nice. The rooms were fine. They were just a little more expensive than what we were specifically looking for. The staff was excellent. The upkeep was excellent too. There was nothing negative about the place. Everything was very nice. We certainly would have been very happy there. However, the way the room was set up was a little different than what we had, also my sister would have to get a higher-level room to have her own bathroom there, but she needed her own bathroom. That was really the determining factor in all of these places. The parking area was fine. No problems with it."

"Amber Court of Westbury seemed very hands-on with the people, and they had full-time nursing staff there. The facility was lovely. The outdoor area was lovely, too. The rooms seemed very nice. They had a nice gym. They also had a beauty parlor that had people there every day. The staff was very knowledgeable. The dining set-up was typical of assisted living. It was spacious and bright. The residents were engaged in various activities."

"When I walked in The Arbors Westbury, there was a very homey feeling. The staff was very welcoming. The residents were very happy and very active. I noticed they had a lot of activities going on. The residents seemed very content. There were also a lot of great places for them to spend time, either by themselves or with other residents. There were a lot of different options for them. They really hold the Veterans in high esteem there. They have a Wall of Heroes, and they have a Veterans' meeting once a month, which I think is really, really important. I did not have a meal. When I was in the tour guide's office, the chef brought in pastries and fruit. It looked very good. I just didn't eat them. It looked very restaurant style. They had a courtyard, where they do a gardening club. They had raised flower beds. There was a nice area for them to sit outside there. It includes everything. You get three meals a day and all the care is provided, including all doctors that you would need. The rooms were updated and really beautiful with home-like furniture. They are updating everything. I saw a couple facilities, and it was very different from the other ones. The staff was very accommodating and very friendly. The facility looked great. They had updated rooms, new flooring, and new furniture. It looked very nice. As soon as I walked in, it smelled very clean. I feel like my father is going to be in a place where he's finally happy, and that he will be there long term."
