N Y Congregational Nursing Center

Nursing facilities are pretty depressing places, so I was never expecting to see something grand and amazing. However, this place - especially in comparison to other places in the Brooklyn/Queens area - is pretty nice. I felt that there could have been a few more activities and enrichment sorts of things, but other than that it was a nice place. There were lots of animals (two aquariums, a retired racing greyhound, and two aviaries of zebra society finches), which my grandmother really enjoyed (she loved animals). I wish she could have been on less medication...I feel like the amount that she was on only made her sicker and thusly increased the need for more meds, but that is more of an issue of modern medicine than an issue relating to the actual facility.
