The Best Senior Living Communities in Huntington, 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."

"I am a resident of Orchard Estate of Woodbury. It's only about three years old and small, maybe a hundred people. They have a lot of activities, and it is near my family. Everything is brand new. It's very clean. They have outdoor walks, and a bus takes you on trips if you want to go to the supermarket and the drugstore. They have exercise classes. If you want to stay in your room, you can stay in your room. They have a dining room, and they have three meals a day. The food could have been better. The staff is very nice. They know everybody by name. The value is a little expensive."

"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."

"The rooms are well-kept, spacious, and bright. The staff are all friendly and genuinely seem like they love what they do. My mom is really thriving there"

"My parents moved into Sunrise of Plainview. The memory care facility is only about 13 units. The thing that drove us to Sunrise was that both my mother and my father could be in the same room, and that was very important to us. The care they're receiving is exceptional, in our opinion. They seem to be thriving there. My father, with his dementia, wasn't speaking much at home, and now he's talking a little bit. So, I guess their interactions are helping them. The staff is very caring. We go there all the time with the grandchildren at different times of the day, and the level of care is always the same. So, we're very happy with our choice. They have a 1-bedroom apartment with a little seating area, a little bathroom, and a little mini refrigerator and a sink, which they don't need. They have choices for food. If I go there at lunchtime or dinnertime, I can purchase a meal and sit with them and have the same meal that they're having. The memory care facility is secure and they can't get out. You need a code to get in and out. They have scheduled activities. They have bingo, people coming in to sing, they have dogs coming in, TVs, trivia, and all sorts of things. We're very happy with them being there."

"Whisper Woods of Smithtown seemed very clean and very professionally run. The staff during the tour was very knowledgeable. Everything looked wonderful. It was very comfortable."

"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."

"Amber Court of Westbury seemed very hands-on with the people, and they had full-time nursing staff there. The facility was lovely. The outdoor area was lovely, too. The rooms seemed very nice. They had a nice gym. They also had a beauty parlor that had people there every day. The staff was very knowledgeable. The dining set-up was typical of assisted living. It was spacious and bright. The residents were engaged in various activities."

"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."

"We toured Sunrise of Smithtown, we liked it very much, and we're going back next Wednesday. It just seems very nice, almost like home, it's as close as you can get to it. We were very pleased with it. We saw the lady that was touring us, she was very nice too, and the manager, but I don't remember her name. She was also very nice. The room was very nice, spacious, and very modern. It had a small kitchenette area. It was very nice, more than I expected. It has its own bath. The dining area was beautiful. Everything was perfectly clean to me. It's nearby."

"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."

"The facility looks to be in great shape. Our tour guide, AD, did a great job of showing us the facility and giving us all the pertinent information. We will definitely consider this facility."

"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."
