Nursing Home Communities in Far Rockaway, NY

"I toured the Hopkins Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare. It was good and very respectful, nice, kind, and clean. The dining area was good. They keep the residents occupied with events every week and try to make it so that everyone is comfortable, which is very helpful. The staff member who gave the tour was very kind."

"My brother-in-law is now in Sands Point Center for Health and Rehabilitation. Right now, we're very, very happy with them. They show a lot of care. It's a very happy and caring staff. They have a complete monthly activity calendar that they use for anyone interested in joining any one of the activities. They have scrabble because he plays scrabble. It's a full calendar. The place is clean, neat, and well-maintained. They got a full staff all the time. The nursing stations are good; they're always manned. It's worth the money."

"I toured the Dumont Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare. On every floor we were taken to, I didn't see any discrepancies. We were taken to the memory care division. It looked like it was a clean place, so I have no complaints. The staff member who gave the tour was not knowledgeable, but the person they claimed we were supposed to see had something else to do, so they put another person on to take us around. He was OK. If we had another person who normally does it, we'd get more information on him, but it wasn't bad. It was OK. It looked like a clean area. I didn't see anything wrong with the rooms they showed us and that we passed through, but I peeked, and they looked well-kept. They showed us different rooms. They showed us one-on-one, and then we saw two-on-two. I mean two people in a room, and we saw one person in the room. So it was OK."

"The staff is amazing they treat you with care. My stay during rehab was so good. Thank you for your care and your help."

"Right now, my mom is at Park Crescent Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center for rehab. They are helping her with speech, and they are helping her to walk. I was there for one of the sessions, and I got her motivated a little to take a walk and stand and stuff. I like them. They're very pleasant, and they keep me posted. They call me if they give her any kind of medicine. My mom was dehydrated, and they called me about that. She has a UTI right now, and they called and told me that because they did urine and blood work on her. They don't just do things, they call me and get my permission to allow them to do whatever. They're very good. They're very caring. I've even noticed that with the other patients there. I like the place. That's why I want to try to keep my mom there as long-term care. I'm very pleased with the place. So far, they have been excellent to me as far as taking care of my mother, and I'm very, very fussy about my mom and how to take care of her. But they're very nice, very thoughtful, and caring. My mother was sleeping over in her wheelchair, and I went to straighten her up, and they said, 'No, no, no, no. We'll do that.' They don't even let me touch my mother. I can't even roll her from her room to the lunchroom where they have lunch, they have to do it. They do everything. It's nice very facility. They're clean. They keep my mom clean. Sometimes I bring my mom food in because she won't eat. She doesn't like it. I looked at it and I could tell it's not that great. The room my mom is in is nice and clean. It's warm and comfortable in her room. She now has a roommate, but it's nice. Right now, I have no complaints about them. The staff members are excellent. I came in here, and I had been crying and they had been good to me, calming me down and everything. In terms of activities, my mom doesn't care about doing anything, but I did get her a little bit interested in it. We played Chinese bingo, and I thought it was fun. It was my first time playing it. She got into it, too, and she seemed to like it. But they were like, 'If she doesn't want to play, she doesn't have to.'"

"My mom moved there, she is quite happy, they remodeled so everything looks really good. We just love it."

"South Mountain Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center has been great. They've been amazing. The staff has been very helpful in this journey, and they've made her stay very pleasant. She does like the food there. The facility is very nice and comfortable. They are very well taken care of, I would say. She's not in a position where she can use those facilities at this time. The staff has been great from the admissions to the social worker, to the physician assistant, the physician, and the nurses, they're all great."

"The care at West Lawrence Care Center is mediocre. There are occasions I go to my mother's room, and I can tell they have not been cleaned, but they were able to take care of her. They follow up whenever we have concerns as far as medication and how she is doing. She is in a private room, and the space is just fine. She is there for dementia. She does do recreation; she watches television and plays music. They give her privacy and let her do things of that sort. They are doing the best they can under their own circumstances. More staffing would definitely allow the nurses to do the things that they need to do and attend to the patients more. "

"I was in Brookhaven once. As far as I was concerned, the nursing staff was good. They had a lack in their night nurses and what not as far as I know. The rooms looked a little better than the ones here. They were actually a little nicer. It was a smaller facility, but nicer. You had a fan and air conditioning in the room where here you just have the air conditioner. I don't know if they changed that since I have been there, but that was the way it was. I had a private room, so I wasn't sharing. Actually, the rooms were a little organized. I liked the doctors there. The food tasted worse than the food here. They gave you juice with your food all the time, and you can choose your own condiment. They don't put your condiments on your tray, and if you wanted fresh fruit, there was fresh fruit. We had parties, we actually had a Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonator come in, we had a Halloween party, and that I really enjoyed. We had Bingo, and one guy coming in that we had service with. They had one computer that people can go on. "

"The staff was very nice and patient. And the food was amazing. My grandmother could have not chosen a better facility!!! "

"My wife is not being treated nicely at Rockaway Care Center. Her meals are five hours late all the time. She dropped her phone in the water and I wasn't told about that until two months later. I left a message yesterday for Alicia, the head of the social workers, but I haven't received a call back. Yesterday I called and the receptionist hung up on me. They were very rude. It was a clean building, but it's pretty disorganized downstairs when you come in. There's people in wheelchairs bumping into you. They claimed it's a nursing home, but to me it's more like a psychiatric place, because they have people talking to themselves, talking to the wall. I brought her flowers and a guy tried to steal it from me, and they're very rude to her."
