The Best Nursing Home Communities in Rockland County, NY

"It is truly a difficult decision to have a parent reside in a Nursing Home instead of at home but sometimes there is no choice for the family based on their needs. I feel so incredibly grateful that my own mother was a resident at Dry Harbor Nursing Home since the summer of 2022 until her recent passing in March of 2024. In her final years my mother was on the tenth floor of Dry Harbor and was in absolute excellent care. The staff lead by Managing Nurse Tamara was hard working, dedicated, kind and patient with my mother putting my siblings and me at ease knowing our mom was in good hands. On my daily visits I asked questions and showed concern for my mother's health and spirits. Tamara, the managing nurse kept me posted on any new developments in my mother's health or any change in her overall well being. If she was unable to call herself for any reason she directed and left notes for other staff members to notify me of anything that seemed concerning. This gave me such peace of mind. Janet, Lucy, and Pauline just to name a few of the staff, I wish I could mention everyone, were absolute angels in my mother's life during her time in Dry Harbor. Zyrra the social worker was so sweetly kind and patient whenever I have needed her assistance and when reaching out to me in need of information or to provide me with information. Eva the dietician was always willing to try different foods that may help my mother continue eating as her tastes and appetite changed and diminished as her health declined. I went to the home right after a long day of work and considering my fatigue I always felt relieved to be greeted by the smiling faces of the reception staff. Their kindness was truly welcomed and appreciated. The employees of the business offices were also kind, patient and so helpful when it came to the task of filling out paperwork and securing insurance and such which we all know can be tedious but necessary. So overall my family and I were pleased by the care our mother received at Dry Harbor but personally I would like to address a special thank you to the tenth floor staff as they truly helped to give me peace of mind with the care my mother received in the final days of her life. To Lucy trying to help convince my mother ever so kindly to eat to keep her strength up and making sure she was comfortable and calm. To Janet for answering all of my questions as soon as I stepped off the elevator and always with patience, respect and empathy for my concern for my mother. Also for not hesitating to call the managing nurse whenever either she or I believed my mother needed specific attention or help. To Pauline the miraculous angel who called me the morning my mother passed because using the judgement of her experience and the mutual opinion of Tamara predicted that my mom may not survive that day. Their intuition and professional assessment was correct. I will always be grateful for that phone call in the morning that made it possible for my siblings and I to be with my mother at the moment of her death. That was a precious gift. My mother passed away and even after the staff at Dry Harbor continue to be kind and patient and helpful. Thanks to all the staff members that made the experience a little easier during a difficult time for our family."

"While looking for options of senior citizens assistance for my parents I got to Livia. Customer agent via web chat was kind and helpful in providing answers to my queries. As son of senior/ederly parents I want to provide them a wonderful and more enjoyable life for the rest of the time that GOD may have planned for them. Customer agent was very attentive, so I hope the rest of the personnel is as good as him or even better. That would provide a sense of trust and confidence that your love ones will be in good hands."

"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."

"The rooms at Northern Manor are large and very clean. The staff were very attentive to my wounds and kept my family up to date on my care. I really enjoyed the GO Program amenities and the Netflix. I would recommend sending your family here! They got me home quickly"

"Came to visit a friend. Facility was clean and the dtaff sas attentive. A lot of residents were playing bingo so that was nice to see. I would recommend. "

"We are very pleased with the care that our loved one has been receiving at Northern Metropolitan. The therapists are conscientious professionals who strive to help each patient achieve his or her full potential and the administrative staff has been instrumental in keeping our family updated throughout our loved one's stay. We have also received guidance and support to ensure continued financial coverage for our loved one, which was very helpful, as having someone in a healthcare facility is an unfamiliar situation for us."

"My mother is here. This place does the best for EVERY patient. The staff on the first floor are compassionate and extremely caring for the patients. There are too many people to shout out. But I want to mention a few. Number 1 is Pearl, no particular order…Nurse Katie, Frank, Nurse Johnson, CNA Maria, CNA Mika, CNA Regine, Alex(speech therapist) ALL the physical and occupational therapist, Bethany ( always smiling at the front desk), Nurse Julianna, all the office staff, Dr Shag, Michelle the dietician, Albert who makes it a point to come in and get my mom to smile and too many more that I don’t know their names. This has been a very trying time for my mom and the family. Thanks to the staff at Friedwald it has been made easier for all of us. Hopefully I didn’t forget anyone, but you all will be part of our family"

"My uncle is at this facility he loves it and the care is just outstanding. From the owners to Michael the administrator to Verisha the social worker I can go on. The Activies are amazing and they keep the residents engaged. There is a genuine care for the residents at this facility I would highly recommend place your family member here if needed. "

"Our mother is a recent resident at Tolstoy. We are so pleased with the care, attention and communication of the staff, nurses, admin, aide and PT. Our mom is treated with respect and the utmost care. Thank you to AnnMarie and her team for working tirelessly for the residents. "

"My husband is 67 years old and suffering from dementia. From the time we started the process to admit my husband the experience has been very good for a sad situation. The administration staff ( Trevor and Danielle) was extremely helpful. He was placed on the long term care unit rather than the dementia unit. His roommate was chosen to fit his age and ability since my husband is still mobile. I have only the highest praise for the staff. Megan the unit manager; Marie P. his aide; Brooke his social worker; Amanda the activity director; Joanne the unit secretary; and all the nursing and cafeteria staff of which there are too many to list. Obviously, things are not perfect. They are sometimes short staffed., but when a problem arises it is addressed. Depending on your needs, I recommend the Atrium Post Acute Care of Park Ridge very highly."

"My step father has been in this rehabilitation center after his emergency surgery. My family and I would've never imagined a better place for him. Everybody there is very caring and making sure everybody is getting the best care possible. Maryann, and all the other staff members are providing the best care for their residents. I was so pleasantly surprised after meeting with them, knowing that my step father is in best hands. On a side note, he does not even want to come home since he's been exercising there and feeling loved and cared for. My family and I feel very grateful for such a wonderful place making a huge difference for people like my step father as well as him family. You guys truly make a huge difference. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Margaret & Constantine's Family"

"What a nice facility. Such caring staff and ppl here. Always a great experience. Thanks!"

"Dowling Gardens has been excellent, and the staff is very caring. There's a lot of long-term staff there that seem to be very concerned about my mom's well-being. Her apartment is very nice. It's clean, and it was well prepared when she moved in. It was freshly painted and newly carpeted. The maintenance staff is very attentive to anything that we asked them to do. They have movies, bingo, Taichi, and chair yoga. She actually hasn't participated in any of the activities yet, but they have two activities a day. They have a coffee shop. They have dinner, and they have a professional chef on staff. They have transportation to a local supermarket and store. She also hasn't done any of the transportation activities. They have a very nice courtyard, and there are two outdoor patios. She also raves about the food. She said every meal has been delicious."
