The Best Nursing Home Communities in Suffolk County, NY

"Island Nursing is very nice. The staff is very kind and takes care of the patients. Dad is in a shared room. It’s a secure facility, but the price is a bit high. "

"My aunt is in Olsen Rest Home. She's only been there a short time, but she seems to like it a lot, and she seems fine. I call her on the phone. She loves the food. She thinks it's wonderful. She says everybody's very nice, and she seems to like them. The ones I've interacted with are excellent, very nice, very caring, and good. It's near my house, it's much smaller, and I think that's what she needs."

"I was in The Hamlet Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center for rehabilitation after a hip replacement. It was more like a nursing home, there wasn't a bathroom, it was a shower room, more like a gymnasium shower room, with four or five stalls. The building was very good, they were doing construction when I was there. They have very good activities, they have very good rehabilitation, a big room with a physical therapist, and they teach us to walk. I wish I could stay there longer. I was on a lot of medication there for pain. The physical therapist was very good."

"The staff is wonderful ! PT/ OT is amazing! The social workers always go out of way to help ! Love the therapeutic recreation team especially the gentleman from music !! My aunt loves it there ! Definitely a wonderful nursing home ! "

"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... "

"We went to Jefferson's Ferry. It was beautiful, great, clean, but it was just too much money. It was a very pleasant place. They were good, we didn't have any complaints, and we did not have any issues. They had an activity night and bingo. It was modern, homey, and the apartments were nice and roomy."

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

"My Dad was a resident of LISVH for almost a year and just passed away there this month. I cannot say enough good things about this facility and the staff. The admissions staff, charge nurses, nurse managers, nursing assistants, social workers, therapists, and unit physicians took such good care of my Dad and for that my family and I will always be grateful. He would often tell me not to worry about him and I was always able to say that I wasn't worried because I knew that he was safe and well-cared for. There is a sense of community about this place that you feel immediately upon entering. The facility itself is well maintained and very clean. I would not hesitate to recommend LISVH to anyone who is looking for a long-term care facility for a veteran of our armed forces."

"My mom was a resident of St. Catherine of Siena Nursing And Rehabilitation Care Center. It's a very happy, bright place. The nursing staff is excellent. They take the time to explain things to the families. They treated my mother very well. They pushed her into eating. They made sure she was up and clean and out of bed, and the physical therapy was tremendous. The nursing staff and the food were excellent. Everyone there is pleasant. I mean, if they couldn't help you with something, they found somebody who could. They were very good. The activities were great. They made sure that there was socialization among the patients. So it was nice meeting other people and it was a nice experience. The facility is very airy and very open. Everybody's happy and you don't feel like you're walking into a prison when you go there. The value for money was excellent. They did take insurance. And in fact, the other community used up all her benefits with Medicare. So, they gave us a prorated bill with a discount. I mean, that was very nice for them. I was happy to pay that even though the other one screwed everything up."

"My wife is in Medford Multicare Center right now. The place is wonderful. I don't have any complaints about them at all. The facility needs some work, but they are working on it. They got doctors, nurses, dentists, and a hair salon. The staff members are fabulous. They're friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. They have bingo and stuff. If anybody needed help, I would send them to this place."

"My Mom is at McPeaks. It is a very well kept home. Admin is on-site 7 days a week. If anything happens, such as a fall, I am contacted immediately and assistance is given immediately as well, including transport to the hospital. Food is very good. I tried it several times. Staff is tremendous. Many activities. Clean rooms. It must be great, my Mom is there!!"

"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. "

"As the weather warms, the ladies are dividing our orange and yellow Stella D'oro & Happy Returns daylillies, and also plant & prepare our truck & box gardens, while the men tidy up the property between weekly landscaper visits (the landscapers shape our beautiful shrubs, edge the walkways, etc; not just grasscutting). All part of our volunteer Garden & Groundskeeping committee, doing what they used to enjoy doing at home. Soon the residents will be sitting outside enjoying the expansive shade our Oak trees provide, while delighting in cavorting squirrels, chipmunks, and bluejays. It really is that nice!"
