The Best Nursing Home Communities in Suffolk County, NY

"We chose Nesconset Center for my mother because they have a bed. Since she's been there, she had physical therapy, they've helped her a lot and all the people were very attentive. Everything is good. She's happy. The food is good. They have a lot of activities. They take them outside and they have a place to sit. It's very nice. "

"My mom has been staying at St. James Rehab (St James Healthcare Center) for 30 to 40 days now. The people are very good and helpful. I really don't have any complaints. It's 24-hour care, and they have a couple of people going around giving medicine at the scheduled times for the patients. They also have a house doctor, so there's always somebody covering the patients. My mom is in a shared room with four in the room. Sometimes they have two in a room. They have quite a bit of activities, like music, bingo, and tai chi, so there's something happening every day. The pricing is expensive."

"Number one on my list is the cleanliness and brightness of this facility. My Mom moved there December 2010, and shares a room with a lovely woman . The wait time after Mom was put on the list, was about 5 months. We were welcome at any time to visit the Hamlet, and speak with the other residents, as we waited. Mom was royally welcomed by some of the ladies she met before she even moved in. The floors are washed and swept frequently, the rooms and baths are cleaned daily. Beds are made, laundry is done, and delicious meals are served 3 times a day. Snacks and beverages are always available. There is a hair salon, and Resident Doctors and Nurses take care of medical issues. Medication is given out individually by the nurses. There are many activities during the day, bus trips, a movie room, and volunteers come in once a week to do manicures for the gals. A certified dog viists every week for the folks to pet and gush over. He is sweet. Musicians, Clergy, are there to speak to the residents and entertain them. The staff is superb, very caring, well trained and polite to everyone. Mom is there with Medicaid, thank goodness. However, many other folks have larger rooms and choose to pay their way. Fees start at 3 to 5 thousand a month. In house Banking is provided, for all. Social workers, Psychologists, Podiatrist, and Physical Therapy is available to all. The admimistration and front desk personnel are always polite and ready to help or answer any questions family may have. I give this facility a High Five. Excellent... "

"Jefferson’s Ferry was very good. The rooms were very nice, spacious, and clean. They have a pool, a laundry shop, a library, movies, bingo, and games. Their continuity of care was what I liked the most. "

"Staff is very caring and supportive. Like a family. The have all the medical services you require. and a great rehab department"

"The LISVH is truly a home, the staff are caring and compassionate. The care and services are efficient and comprehensive, ranging from dentistry, audiology, barber shop etc. all on site for the convenience of your loved one! The programs and activities are stimulating and engaging, and range from virtual reality experiences to fishing trips. The food portions are large and delicious. Each person is offered an abundance of alternate choices. I had a family member residing at the home for many years and the wonderful care he received is one of the many reasons our family would highly recommend this home to other Veterans."

"Mu dad was here fro 5 weeks in which time they actually got him strong enough to go through hip replacement surgery and even got the surgery scheduled in 4 days! The aides were so supportive and helpful even though my dad was a little irritable and grouchy at times. He did so well he went home one week after surgery and is now walking with a cane! He is 90 and had become almost bedridden from pain. Can't say enough about St. Catherine's from the top to the bottom- a great facility."

"Although this facility may have had issues in the past, it has transformed into an exceedingly competent and compassionate place. There are a whole bunch of new staff who are experienced nurses. They also have an abundance of staff compared with other nursing homes around. My mother is well taken care of andI feel safe knowing the care is so good."

"My Dad who had to be transferred to Affinity from the V.A. was sent to Affinity. we were so scared after reading the reviews to that had been posted fooled us into believing the place was a dump is 100 percent wrong. The home in my opinion is the bestt place my father could have been placed in Long Island. I see very caring oersonnell; clean ; and I can,'t say enough about the people; premises; and respitory team that has actually been trying to wean my dad off the VENTILATOR. I will never base a review to form an opinion B4 actually judging for myself: so don't let reviews scare you until you can form your own opinion. Barry who is a respiratory therapist has gotten my dad slowly and safely to the point where we now have some hope when there was NONE....We we're fooled by the reviews! I am actually happy that a well trained; caring staff is looking after my DAD. We came in early; and to our surprise my father was dressed in a nice shirt and shorts. He was bathed and content. If you knew my Dad he is the most difficult man to please. We as a family were very frightened when he arrived as the reviews are NOT TRUE. Again; I am writing this review because others may be fooled as we were. I see a caring staff and clean environment. Know I am not an easy person to please and I will never listen to something I read before accessing the situation myself. Kudos to Affinity and there staff. May God bless them all at Affinity and do make your own opinions before coming to conclusions. W due respect I apologise for the way I acted when I arrived. I thank God he iwas placed in the facility. We as a family are content knowing my father is safe and alert. He is even getting physical therapy when last week we had no hope at all to hang onto. Once again don't let the bad reviews fool you. Go there and make your own opinions! Sincerely; Katleen John Ray's daughter. "

"I was very impressed with Woodhaven. I thought the rooms were adequate. The facility was clean. I thought it was a nice place. "

"My grandpa is currently living in this care center. He is unable to walk at the moment so the people there are helping him daily. The staff is great. They are always watching out for him and providing him with good food. They are always there when my grandpa is in need of help or wants anything. The staff is always friendly. They are also friendly to the visitors. It is a nice place to be at. The atmosphere is calm and nice. There are many things to do for entertainment. My grandpa is happy to be living there. His health greatly improved ever since his stay at the care center. It used to be hard for him to talk and move. Now he is much better at both. The staff at this Suffolk care center are obviously doing their jobs well. Whenever i visit, they would always assist me with any request i made. This care center is amazing for anyone to be at. "

"My mom is there and receives top notch care! Nursing staff awesome! always available to answer any of my concerns! Highly recommended !"

"There are many opportunities that my husband does not avail himself of so some of my reviews are based on observation. I find the staff caring, friendly and professional that includes the nursing staff, Activities, Finance, Front Desk, Maintenance. When you enter BHCF not only the patient but their families are welcomed and treated like family."

"My mother-in-law is at Water's Edge Rehab and Nursing Center at Port Jefferson. They're wonderful, everybody's friendly, and the facility is immaculate. They just shut down visiting again, but I can't say enough good things about the place. They take care of her so well. She's clean, and even when she's in a wheelchair, they get her out of the bed. I love the place. It's just sometimes when you call, they don't answer the phone right away, so you gotta keep calling back, but it's not a big deal for me. I get that they're short staffed, and they've been wonderful so far. She's actually been happy there, and I've never seen her look so healthy in my life. She says the food is awesome and that they give her so much that she can hardly eat it. I like how they treat the residents too, like nothing is too much for them/for you to ask of them. They're very friendly and they welcome you like a family. They are a little expensive, and we had to self-pay for three months, but it was OK because she had savings, and she's already now under Medicaid."
