Memory Care Communities in Smithtown, NY

"Sunrise of East Setauket was a lovely community and very conveniently located for where we are living. The place itself was very impressive as far as its cleanliness. The residents seemed very content and very happy. The staff members all seemed very pleasant and professional. The rooms were a very nice size. I certainly would recommend this community. Of the three places we had seen, Sunrise of East Setauket was probably the best. "

"I went to Sunrise of Dix Hills. The outside is perfect. The landscaping inside is clean. I checked and there was no offensive smell. It was clean. It was like walking into a hotel. The people that work there were very friendly and very helpful. They showed me the menus. The tours that can go on every week are different. They have a fresh cookie tray if you need it. If you don't like what they have on a menu for a particular day, you can have a hamburger or if that's all you survive on is hamburgers, that's no problem. Three meals a day and there's no set time. It's different from the way you have in your mind what a nursing home would be. The lady who took me on the tour answered all my questions. Everything I asked for, she either supplied it to me or found out and gave it to me even before I left the building. And if I had another question, sometimes I say, oh, geez, I should have said I needed to find this. She said just call and be answered."

"All American Assisted Living at Coram was beautiful. They were friendly and welcoming. It was clean. Everybody was cordial. It was nice. The setup and the arrangement were nice. The size of the apartment is fair for what they do. For the most part, their apartments are the biggest to date; they're nice. They have a refrigerator only, and I understand because they provide the meals. The have chickens, and they are animal friendly. I think they have a chicken coop, and the chickens run around in the back. I though that was nice. They have a beauty salon, but it's not staffed currently."

"The grandmother of my husband is in Sunrise of Holbrook. It's beautiful outside, but when you go in, sometimes her room isn't clean, and the laundry gets mixed up. They had entertainment come in quite often, they do chair exercises, they would play games, like a wheel of fortune type thing, but with COVID, everything stopped. Some of the staff is excellent, but others are horrible."

"My father was at Atria Bay Shore in September. They had a really wonderful staff. Everybody was very helpful and professional. I liked it better there. They have music and dance shows, and they have a whole area where they can play cards, bingo, and do movie nights. They also take them out sometimes. I guess in the memory unit they can't, but they would take them out for lunch every so often. The food was really good, too. They're great."

"I am so thankful I found this place, taking care of My father who was 80 years old was becoming hard on me and my family, we didn’t like the idea of a nursing home so we opted for Divine Serenity. Best decision ever!! My father would call me and tell me how well taken care of he is there, along with being served 3 great meals daily. Danielle is always at the top of her game, from scheduling his doctor appointments to medication schedule, she has never missed a beat. The home is stunning sitting on an acre of land, it provides a safe outdoor area for my father to take walks, or just sit and relax on a nice day. If you want your family to be at ease while ensuring your loved ones are well cared for..look no further this is the place for you!"

"We chose Christian Fellowship House for my mother. It's like a mansion that's been converted. She has improved there, and she has that feeling of comfort and security. Her stress level is a lot lower, so she's much more interactive. This was a very good move for her. It reminds her of her family. It has elements of things that are reassuring. It's a very quiet community. The whole area is very mellow and quiet and it's a really good fit for her. The staff is very interactive and on top of things. The food seems to be pretty good. She hasn't complained about it. The activities are enough to engage her. It's very good. She seems to be pretty content with everything."

"My mother-in-law moved into Amber Court of Westbury, but she was only there for a little bit. She's now hospitalized and is pretty sick. Generally, we were pleased with her care there. In the place she was previously, she needed more care than they could give, and Amber Court was able to give her that extra attention that she needed, because she needs memory care in the first place. She was in a shared room with another person because they didn't have any other availabilities. It was very simple and it was a fine room. They don't allow you to go up to the room when you visit her, they bring her down to a room. You meet with your loved one in a room downstairs on the first floor and you're not allowed to go up to her room. I just saw it briefly. It's nothing fancy there, but we were more concerned about getting her care and attention than the decor of the room. From what I saw, the staff was very attentive and caring. I don't know specific activities, but I know that in the memory care facility, they keep the residents busy all day. They play games and they do things all day, which was what my mother-in-law needed. She was paid attention to and that was what was important to us."

"Maplewood at Strawberry Hill is a lovely facility and it is brand new. The design is much more conducive to seniors and I like the arrangement of their apartments. And of course, it's brand new so that definitely makes a big difference. The staff were very helpful although I didn't really interact with very many people. Some staff that walked by said hello. We have friends there and they said the food is very good. Their rooms, the windows are high enough that you can put furniture it. The walls also have windows so people can bring more of their furniture with them. And because it's new, you got new carpet, new bathroom and that makes a difference. "

"This is a wonderful community. It is spacious, airy and open. The residents have a full schedule of activities and a lively Happy Hour every day. The staff are friendly and helpful whenever I visit. I see them interacting in a caring and compassionate manner. I would definitely recommend this community."

"Maplewood at Darien is my first choice and it is fabulous. The community is relatively new and that always makes it nice. It's very clean, neat, inviting, and the person who I spoke to was great and extremely helpful. They have studios and 1-bedroom units, and they also have 1-bedroom unit that's actually two units which can be turned into one. They also have a separate athletic area with equipment like a treadmill and weights for working out. The grounds were beautiful, and they have a very nice area at the back with benches. It's beautiful, just like being in a park. The location was also great for me."

"Everything about it was good. I came away with no negatives. The staff were helpful, friendly, and answered any questions. They told us things we didn't even realize. They had plenty of activities for you to do. They had the courtyard, the gym, the rec hall, and the room for movies."
