Assisted Living Communities in Westbury, NY

"My mom is has been a resident of Christian Fellowship House for almost 2 years. I had looked at several other facilities before deciding on CFH. The assisted living facility is housed in a converted mansion on beautiful grounds. It is a smaller facility, so it feels more like a home. The bedrooms and living areas are well appointed. There are always activities available for those who wish to participate. The staff is wonderful and will go out of their way to assist you with whatever concerns you may have. This is an independent and family run business and you can see this in the level of care they offer. Mom is very happy and content here."

"Atria Glen Cove had a very good person who showed us the different levels of care and also the different rooms that they had to offer. The community was quite nice and well-maintained. The atmosphere was very nice. I met the manager who presented us with the facility and the rooms that they had available at the time. She was very nice and very pleasant. It seemed that the care of the people that were milling around the main halls was helped by nurses or assistant nurses, which was quite nice to see. They had painting classes, and they had patios in the back, which were very nice during the sunny days. There were a lot of people outside. They had little finger food for the people, little snacks and drinks - sodas, water, and juices. So, it was very nice to see that."

"My wife moved into Sunrise of Glen Cove. I like the ratio of staff to patients, the variety of activities, and the atmosphere. The staff is very accommodating. I usually have lunch with my wife there once a week. They have a social director who provides activities during the morning and afternoon to keep the residents involved. It's very expensive. They provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have an extensive porch."

"We toured Sunrise of North Lynbrook. They showed us the cafeteria in this facility, but they didn't offer food. They showed us where the residents would be eating. Everything was top-notch. It was very clean. As you walk in, you're greeted by somebody at the desk. It was a secure place, and they offered a lot."

"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."

"Divine Serenity Assisted Living looked like it was a residence that they converted to individual rooms. The time I was there, as far as I know, the residents were either on a trip or going to the doctor, so there were no residents there. The lady showed me the area where they would be doing work in the building. She also showed me a room. She answered all my questions. She told me how they take care of the residents. They have a nurse that comes in and a doctor. If the resident has to take medicine they take care of that too."

"Atria Lynbrook was a very good facility. The staff were very helpful and very compassionate. For that small amount of time and for a visit of two hours, I can say that they are very good. I think they offer activities for the residents. I would not mind living at this facility someday. "

"Sunrise of Huntington was very warm and welcoming. The staff was very nice and professional. The dining area was very clean and very elegant. They provide very good food. They have social events, bingo, and cooking classes. They have a lot of different things going on there. The place was beautiful."

"Sutton Gardens Assisted Living is a good community for retired senior citizens. I didn't spend that much time there, but the rooms and apartments looked fine to me. They had wooden chairs and round tables in the dining room that seemed adequate. They have a calendar of activities, too. The place was very secure. The community itself as a whole is enough for a senior. "

"My mother moved into Atria Forest Hills. She doesn't have any additional needs. They don't do any showering for her, give her medications, or anything. She's in independent living. The people are so kind and so helpful. They know all of their residents. It is clean and pristine. Everything is new and comfortable. The care is phenomenal. They check in on her all the time. She has choices for meals. They have lots of activities. She's been to about six activities since Saturday, where she never went to anywhere before. It's like starting a new life for her or reverse of life because she's been living alone in a three-story house. She wasn't able to get out or see anybody. Her life has changed to where she cares about what she looks like and is happy to meet and talk to people. I could not be happier. This place is a God sent and the people that work there. They are perfect. They are fabulous. It's a little expensive, but well worth it."

"The tour I had at Castle Senior Living at Forest Hill was good. It was very interesting and very informative. It's a very limited area. It's kind of compressed and yet they made it look like they made good use of the space. They showed us a one-bedroom and it was very nice. The gentleman who showed us around was all very good and very informative. Downstairs, they had a common area where people gathered inside the building and they also had an outside area where people were gathering too. It looked clean."

"The tour at Amber Court of Pelham Gardens was pretty good and very thorough. They had very nice amenities. They had a library and very good artwork. But they were on double occupancy. They had very few single rooms. They also had an admission code for their own particular care. They had a specific matter of payment."

"I visited Birchwood Suites in East Northport and toured their assisted living. It's clean and doesn't smell, has a lot of activities, and a nice staff. The person who gave the tour was also very nice. They offer medication management, entertainment, and three meals a day with snacks. They also offer housekeeping, safety, and laundry services. They assist with eating, insulin management, catheter management, and assistance for wheelchair-bound people who need it."

"My mom is in Wartburg. She went there for rehab, and they have an assisted living program right there, so we transferred her from rehab right to assisted living. To me, the place is excellent. They have excellent care there. She had excellent care in the rehab center. They have excellent ratings. She is in senior housing now. The staff is wonderful. I haven't had a problem. They're very pleasant and very easy to talk to. They take care of my mother, which is the main thing. She has a studio apartment and she's very happy. Her room is excellent. It's clean. They come in constantly to do housekeeping. They're very excellent. Basically, they remodeled the place and it's beautiful. The grounds are beautiful. She is getting very good care there. The food is good. There's three meals a day. If you don't like what they're serving you, you can get plenty of substitutes. Whatever you want, the chef makes it for you. Right now, because of the COVID, they only have a music program, trivia, and Jeopardy. They don't have too many activities. They can't have anybody from the outside come in. The music program is nice. They have somebody coming in twice a week to do music. It was also the most reasonable place that we checked out."
