Assisted Living Communities in Bay Shore, NY

"I went to The Arbors at Bohemia. What I liked best was the cost, and it was a big thing. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the staff said they preferred people to be able to move independently, which I can do. I'm sure I'm not going to be able to in the future down the road. It kind of left me up in the air. The food was OK, but it wasn't wonderful. Not that I expect it to be wonderful, but it was a frittata. To me, it could have had more flavor. I've had them many times and usually they have a lot of flavors. This one was kind of bland. They had a lot of activities, and they had a lot of people who are social. One of the things that bothered me was that I saw people sitting in common rooms who were looking blank and who looked mad. I wondered because I didn't see any aides around, and yet they said that you would have aides if you need them. The person who took me around was very friendly and very knowledgeable. I love the room because it had a balcony with a screened door opening, which was very convenient to me because I have a ride-on chair. The other activities seemed to be fairly well rounded. I don't know how many people were attending them because we didn't go to too many things that were going on. I'm sure some were well attended and some were not so well attended, but there seemed to be a fair variety of activities for everybody."

"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."

"Atria Huntington was very clean and homey. Everyone was very friendly. The rooms were nice, and the dining room was nice. It did feel a little upscale. They had three meals. "

"I've only been in the apartment once. I think my parents are doing well, overall, at Whisper Woods of Smithtown. I haven't been able to enter the facility. When I brought things into their apartment that was it. I haven't been able to have a meal there or be involved in anything. There are no issues with the staff and the director has been great. It's very nice and it's new. We're not allowed in there, so it's pretty difficult when you're doing Facetiming with directors walking around the building, but that's the situation now. It's very nice and it's a very new facility. Everything is clean and neat and everybody is friendly. There's a calendar of events of which I am not really familiar. My parents get that schedule every day. I know they go to lectures and view documentaries, which is what they enjoy. It's very, very expensive though. I'm probably not a good barometer for this because I've been there so little. And they've been quarantined for almost half of what they've been there so far. It's very, very expensive. The director brought me into somebody's apartment, someone who was living there. That was nice. She actually had it set up that we could go into somebody's apartment and the woman who was living there showed me an actual living experience."

"We chose Birchwood Suites for my mom because of price, convenience, and cleanliness. The staff is very attentive, and we don’t have any complaints. The food is fine. I would recommend this facility. "

"We will be moving mom to Amber Court of Lake Shore and the reason is because of the price. It's cheaper and affordable. The people there seem nice. The tour was cool, and it's nice that there's a lake right across the street. It seems like a friendly environment. The residents are also pretty nice because they were talking to us as we were walking. The shared room is $2500 and the private room is $3000 and that's within my mom's budget. Also, the care and stuff like that are all added into her budget and it's affordable for her. They have round-the-a-clock care. They got a bingo room, a room with a pool table lounge, and then they got another TV lounge area. The dining room is pretty big for the most part. The rooms are sized nicely, even if she were to share a room (which I would prefer for Mom so that way at least she has somebody to talk to and make a new friend). They're under construction right now. They have gates in places so the residents can't go to those areas, but they have a hair salon there. Probably once the place is done, it is going to look immaculate. From the remodeling that I saw, it looks very, very nice."

"Amber Court of Smithtown astounded us best because it permits us to have my daughter on the list. I was impressed with them. I liked it better than the one in Westbury. The rooms were lovely and clean. They showed us various rooms, and we saw other people there. Everybody seemed perfectly comfortable and busy, and everything was neat. It was very nice. The staff who gave the tour was very informative, very warm, very interested, and kind."

"Atria East Northport very nice, but my mom just started to get in-house care. I thought the rooms and the dining rooms were very nice. It looked like they were extending and making new rooms there. The staff inspected it and let me know that the rooms were ready. The service is very nice. They explained to me that since my dad is a Veteran that he would get some Veteran benefit because he needs it, and that was also good accommodation I had known about. They had a wall, and they had pictures of all the Veterans. It was very nice, there was a kitchen, and they were very accommodating, taking me around and making me feel comfortable. "

"The services they provided at Sunrise Senior Living of Huntington were beyond my wife's needs, but we're very pleased with it. The staff who conducted the tour and talked with us was excellent, very helpful and very cooperative. They do follow-up calls with me. The apartment was clean and well furnished. The dining area was clean and well taken care of. They have activities that you would find in a nursing home like exercise and games."

"Sunrise was where my father spent 9 months, and my mother spent just over a year. On the assisted living side when my dad was alive, it was good; it worked out. They did activities. They would sit and talk to other residents. A lot of the residents liked them and spoke to them. The staff was generally OK. There were 18 residents in the Alzheimer's unit. They had a separate unit for the Alzheimer's patients. The food was very good; I happened to like it. Almost every time I went there, I could get what I wanted to eat. If I ordered something off the menu, that’s fine. If they didn’t have something on the menu, they would make me a salad. I have issues with food that I can’t eat some things so I have to be careful where I go and how much I do eat of whatever. When I had breakfast, I could have almost everything that was listed on the menu and dinners. I didn’t have that many, but I was able to eat most of them. It was tasty and good. My mother and father were in a suite that had 2 rooms. They had a TV in their own room. Mom’s room in the Alzheimer's unit was a 2-room piece with some privacy on both sides -- not a complete wall that goes up. They had an area that they could get dressed in privately, they shared a bathroom in that room, and it was always clean. They had a cleaning guy that went around who cleaned the rooms, vacuumed, and dusted. "

"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"

"Sunrise of Holbrook was nice, but it was too expensive. They want to charge $4,000 just to get in the door. They had nice gardening and outside seating. The people are great. The person who took us around was helpful, gave a lot of information, answered all the questions, and gave some advice. He was nice and friendly."

"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."
