Long Island Living Center

My first impression of Long Island Living Center is it's like a rehab or a hospital setting where you're in a shared room, although the amenities, the housekeeping, the meals, and social events and stuff like that are included. It's like a group setting type thing. Everything was clean and neat. It was a nice overall atmosphere, although I was expecting more of a residential atmosphere where you have your own kitchen. This was my first time touring a place like that, so I didn't know what to expect. The staff member during the tour answered my questions. She was very friendly, very cordial, open for any questions, and invited me back. She was great. They had the social room and there were people in there. The artwork displayed that the residents did were really nice. They had a library area, a common area, and a snack area. The dining room is strictly kosher, but they had a separate area where you can eat non-kosher food, and there were snacks available. The big thing for me was that they had a theater. If the family comes you can all have popcorn and look at a movie privately. The furniture, the linen, and the bedspreads were outdated. The rooms could be updated.

I did a tour of Long Island Living Center. It was clean and the staff was very friendly. They seem to be organized and have a system in place in terms of providing services to the clients there. You had to be paired up in terms of the room that was just run down, despite the income needs. You needed to meet certain criteria then, unfortunately, you would have to share a room. That was the only disappointing part of it as well as the distance. Aside from that, I was pleasantly surprised considering the location. The person who talked to us, was the social worker or maybe the administrator there; she was very friendly. She took her time and took us floor by floor showing the various facilities within her program there. I've met some of the staff and some of the residents as well. They need to upgrade some of the furniture they have. It looked a little worn. I believe it's a kosher facility, I don't think they allow you to bring anything from the outside. It was probably more aligned with the food that they said you couldn't bring in. They could invest a little bit more in some of the furniture within the rooms and the upkeep of the place. They have a fairly large dining room. It wasn't that bad, and it was clean. They could put a little more funding into the appearance, it looks a little old or worn down a little bit. From a superficial standpoint, they could stand to invest a little bit more in appearance.

I liked what I saw at Long Island Living Center. I liked the facilities. They have a lot of activities. I like that there was a private room for my mom. I liked everything about it. It was clean and it looked comfortable. They offer nurses seven days a week. There's a doctor there three days a week. I liked the person that took me around. She was very pleasant. Everything was clean. They had a library, a reading room, and a movie room. They had several gathering areas.

I did a tour of Long Island Living Center. For the most part, it was nice, and the people were nice. It is a nice Medicaid facility, and that's across the street from the hospital. It was a very nice place, it would be good for people who qualify for Medicaid. It's clean and well cared for.

Our experience with Long Island Living Center has been good. They've been very nice, and they're doing a good job with my brother. They keep them busy. They treated my brother decently, and they treated me very nicely when I was there. I had lunch there and it was fine, and the price was right.

I have visited residents who have and are living at LIHLC and I heard such wonderful praises of the staff, so much about the food. One of the elderly gentlemen kept telling his wife to come join him so they could vacation together. The residents are very positive in their actions, and seem happy and busy. This I have seen many time that I have visited residents.

I visited this facility along with several others to find a place were my aunt would be most comfortable. As soon as I went through the front doors I was greeted by the friendly receptionist in the lobby (very much like a hotel lobby!) A nice lady gave me a tour of the facility, all the lovely sitting areas and hundreds of books, and chess tables, and they even have a newly built theater room!!! The staff was so helpful and kind and answered all my questions about my aunt's restricted diet and her preferences and explained all the different meal options available. I am really impressed by this place, it's the nicest facility I've seen. From the kind and helpful staff to the tasteful designs, i think this is a place my aunt will really appreciate. (The location is a big plus as well!!)

I was very happy with Long Island Living Center. The rooms were beautiful. The facilities were nice and clean. I had lunch there, and the food was great. The dining room was big. They had a beauty parlor and a game room. It was a good place. They take care of the residents.

Long Island Living Center is in a good neighborhood. It has Kosher food, which is a big thing for my uncle, although he's a vegetarian. The staff was very nice when we got there. They seem a little warmer to me. They have more rooms and more space for everybody, so that seem better to me. They're going to be renovating, so maybe it would be a nicer place to go right now.

I visited Long Island Living Center because I needed an assisted living facility that takes Medicaid. It was nicer than I anticipated. There's a lot of space and the people are very nice. It almost looks like a hotel.
