Assisted Living Communities in Plainview, NY

"We like Christian Fellowship House. It is a beautiful setting, and the people there seem fantastic. We are putting my parents in there together. However, they don't have any rooms at the moment, so we would have to wait. They also have a staircase, so I was a little concerned about that for my mom. It was a historic house, but it was very cozy and homey. We liked the people. One of the owners toured us. She was very knowledgeable, gave us a lot of information, and was very understanding of our situation. It was nice to talk to her."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"My mother-in-law is going into the Harbor House. They were good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The residents were talking to the kitchen chef to find out if they needed any changes. They had a barber shop and a salon. I saw the outdoor seating area, the patio, the room, and the community area. The room was very nice. Harbor House takes Medicaid and she has Medicaid."

"We toured Sunrise of Dix Hills. I thought it was very good as far as I'm concerned. My mother-in-law at this moment stays in a room and it looks like the Sunrise facility was more likely to get her more involved, plus, it's $4,000 a month cheaper. We went out to all the rooms and spoke to the different people involved and saw all the facilities they had. They're fine. They're clean and bright and they have windows to the inside. So it looks like you have your own apartment. You can even have a cat and they have a cat that runs around there. We checked the dining area. They have an assortment of foods. Also, if for some reason you don't like any of the foods, they'll make you a basic hamburger, hot dog, or some basic food above and beyond what they're cooking. The staff was great."

"The rooms are spacious and kept clean. I like the fact that the main floor is a meeting hub for the residents"

"It takes a special type of person to work in a senior living facility. You have to love what you do and be committed to the well being of your residents. Before we walked into the atria in glen cove we had been to a few other well known communities. None had the love and support I felt when talking to the staff at atria Glen Cove! Jennifer the executive director was professional and helpful with answering all our questions. I felt she heard us and our needs. And what can I say about Keisha the life director. She is an absolute darling. Her love for the residents shows with every detail she painstakingly pays attention to when planning a special day for them. From the receptionist at the front dest to the nurses and everyone in between Atria in Glen Cove cares for the residents. Tommy’s room was bright and cheerful. And always kept spotless. And the food was wholesome and delicious."

"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."

"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."

"Atria Park of Great Neck is the best in terms of cleanliness, level of care, and professionalism. They're top-notch. My father's been there for two weeks now and I visited him many times. The only problem he complains about is the lack of Chinese-speaking staff over there. They have someone who is Chinese, but there's only one and she's also the nurse supervisor. So, I don't want her to be bogged down by this question because she has her duty already. Beyond that, his room is OK. The environment is nice. This place is good. As far as the staff, I don't have much to complain about. They are pretty good. I haven't seen the meals up close because they don't allow family in the dining room but the setting is very good. They escort my father to the dining room for three meals. So, he has enough exposure, including the trip to the dining room, activities, and all that. The facility itself, compared to the other places I visited, is very clean. There's no smell in the air. They're relatively new, in fact, compared to other places. I was there the other day and I've seen their activity that involves the whole residency. They try and the participation from the residents is good (if they can participate). People who do not have the mental or physical capacity, are present, but they don't necessarily have people to help them really to fully enjoy the environment. It's pretty expensive. If there is something that can be improved, that would be the cost side, but I don't think that's something wrong. There's a slight delay in their response to someone who presses the request button, but it's minor. If they could allow my father to have an electric wheelchair, it would probably help him some, because he is not fully mobile on one side so a regular wheelchair is not all that useful, but they don't allow it. He has to be moved around by a person. They respond to requests like "Can I get a better bed for him to get out?" and they ordered a hospital bed for him. So that helped. I asked whether they could get a better seat cushion because he is not able to sit in a regular wheelchair for a long time and they respond to that sort of thing. They're minor things. I don't think it's a big deal."

"Staff is kind responsive and caring Rooms are clean spacious and safe"

"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."
