Nursing Home Communities in Staten Island, NY

"For anyone who needs to find QUALITY care for their loved one in the West Essex / northern NJ area, please - for the sake of your loved one AND you - just go straight to Green Hill. My father was neglected and almost died in another area facility. He was transferred to Green Hill and is doing so much better. They know how to deal with dementia patients - with dignity, respect and true medical care, even during this year of pandemic. The staff is considerate and friendly, the food is good, and their standards during the pandemic are at par with hospital level - and I know, because my husband works at a hospital. The facility looks like, and we learned, was a former hotel/respite site during the 1940s. The inside is spacious, and with social distancing, that's a GOOD thing. My father is limited in his activity level due to his dementia, but our visits have been SO encouraging. We almost lost my father, so believe me when I tell you, this facility was divine intervention."

"I toured LIVIA Health & Senior Living looking for long-term care for my parents. It's beautiful, clean, and very modern. The staff and my tour guide were very friendly. They have multiple community areas and multiple dining rooms. It is one of the things that I like. The rooms were kind of spacious. The bathrooms were beautiful, and that's important for people who are in wheelchairs. It's definitely spacious and clean. I know they have a good physical therapy department and an occupational therapy department. They also had a small gathering space that families can use as a private room. There was a beautiful outdoor space for the residents and visitors. Everything looked very new, so no complaints there."

"My grandmother stayed at Lincoln Park Renaissance and the medical/nursing care that she got received was above and beyond. The way the staff (CNA, Nurses, therapists...) cared for her during her 3 month stay as if it was their own family member. The food was really good, and any medical question/need was given its utmost attention. I would feel very comfortable sending my love one there again."

"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."

"Our mother has been in five different rehabs over the years and Meadowbrook Care Center is one of the best rehabs in Nassau County. Mom was on Unit 2A and we cannot say enough about the outstanding leadership by Unit Manager Nurses- Ms. Dolor, Ms Ogunyele, and Ms. Laurent. From the Unit Managers, the Unit Clerk to the LPNs & PCAs, they all truly cared not only for the patient but also for the families. Dr. Jaglall and NP Patel provided excellent medical attention and approaches to deal with our mother’s medical problems. Physical Therapist, Kerry O., is amazing! Alex,OT, provided great service. Mrs. Goldberg, Director of Social Work, approached the discussion of DNR with great sensitivity when speaking with us. Ivy and the rest of the Recreation Dept. provided wonderful social activities to minimize feeling lonely or bored and were so passionate about the fun activities they offered. Carlos, in Housekeeping, gave his personal cell phone # if you had any needs. The facility is spotless and is very bright! Leah who transports the patients to OT or PT always had a smile for you. Courtney, the security guard, takes her job seriously and is very helpful as is Sabrina. Kathy, mom’s nutritionist, was attentive and addressed any dietary concerns. The food is very tasty and plentiful. We wish in the future Catholic services could resume along with the center’s movie channel equipment getting updated and robo calls going out if visitation gets suspended. There is no perfect institution but Meadowbrook Care Center certainly is close because of the caring and dedicated staff!"

"Sands Point Center for Health and Rehabilitation was very clean and had a very comfortable feel to it. It was very homey and decorated well. The staff was very friendly, alert, and answered all my questions. They have courtyards that look very nice, and a nice dining room with a piano. Overall, I liked it a lot."

"My mother moved into Tower Lodge Care Center, and this facility is very clean. They keep it very clean, and everyone is pleasant enough to the best of their ability. I'm comfortable and my mother is comfortable. They feed her in bed, and she's eating. I saw her appetite, and the food is very good, and delicious. The staff is very nice, friendly, and helpful."

"Clove Lakes was a very nice nursing home. Everything was nice and clean. The workers were great. They took very good care of my mother. I thought it was very good. I have known quite a few people that were there, and there were no problems. Everybody was great and helpful. It was a very good nursing home. The rooms were good. They were nice. They had some that were two to a room, and they had some that were four to a room, but I don’t think they had one to a room. They were great, even the food was good. In fact, while my mother was there, I would eat dinner with her. The food was delicious. It was good. "

"I brought my grandmother here and she seems happy. Staff is courteous and help with any questions I might have. Their activities seem to keep everybody active and happy as well. "

"I live in the area, so I was always aware of Carmel Richmond. It was a very warm atmosphere and it's not too big. My mother is much improved. She shares a room with someone else. Everyone I met has been very nice and pleasant. The food is not gourmet, but it's adequate. "

"I never doubted that my loved one was being well cared for even during the pandemic when I could not visit. I found comfort in the fact that several staff members I asked said they'd worked there for 15,20,30 years. Also I liked that I saw staff laughing with each other and with patients. Physically the place looks dated but it is clean and what matters is the staff. I was especially grateful to the main nurse on that floor, who was so kind, never "like a robot" and very on top of things."

"I’m sorry for any one who had a negative experience in any way. It’s very stressful to place your loved one into a facility either long or short term. My grandmother’s room is clean and she is very well cared for. She is not a fan of staying in any facility but I find the staff very pleasant and easy to work with so far. They’re very helpful and attentive to her needs. I’m grateful for all of their help. Every case and situation is different. "

"Mom was on 3rd floor. Different floors are for different kinds of patients who need different kinds of care. Facility always clean. Always someone there to help if need be. Visitors allowed at all hours with needing to call first. If you visit during the meal times they supply a "guest tray" for you so you may eat with the resident. Ample staff who seemed to engage the patients all the time. They'd do mom's hair at least once a week! The entire staff from administration to phys. therapy to the hands-on aides and nursing staff, were all very caring people. "
