I liked what I saw at Long Island Living Center. I liked the facilities. They have a lot of activities. I like that there was a private room for my mom. I liked everything about it. It was clean and it looked comfortable. They offer nurses seven days a week. There's a doctor there three days a week. I liked the person that took me around. She was very pleasant. Everything was clean. They had a library, a reading room, and a movie room. They had several gathering areas.

I did a tour of Long Island Living Center. For the most part, it was nice, and the people were nice. It is a nice Medicaid facility, and that's across the street from the hospital. It was a very nice place, it would be good for people who qualify for Medicaid. It's clean and well cared for.

Our experience with Long Island Living Center has been good. They've been very nice, and they're doing a good job with my brother. They keep them busy. They treated my brother decently, and they treated me very nicely when I was there. I had lunch there and it was fine, and the price was right.

I have visited residents who have and are living at LIHLC and I heard such wonderful praises of the staff, so much about the food. One of the elderly gentlemen kept telling his wife to come join him so they could vacation together. The residents are very positive in their actions, and seem happy and busy. This I have seen many time that I have visited residents.

I visited this facility along with several others to find a place were my aunt would be most comfortable. As soon as I went through the front doors I was greeted by the friendly receptionist in the lobby (very much like a hotel lobby!) A nice lady gave me a tour of the facility, all the lovely sitting areas and hundreds of books, and chess tables, and they even have a newly built theater room!!! The staff was so helpful and kind and answered all my questions about my aunt's restricted diet and her preferences and explained all the different meal options available. I am really impressed by this place, it's the nicest facility I've seen. From the kind and helpful staff to the tasteful designs, i think this is a place my aunt will really appreciate. (The location is a big plus as well!!)

Long Island Living Center is in a good neighborhood. It has Kosher food, which is a big thing for my uncle, although he's a vegetarian. The staff was very nice when we got there. They seem a little warmer to me. They have more rooms and more space for everybody, so that seem better to me. They're going to be renovating, so maybe it would be a nicer place to go right now.

I visited Long Island Living Center because I needed an assisted living facility that takes Medicaid. It was nicer than I anticipated. There's a lot of space and the people are very nice. It almost looks like a hotel.

When I was 20, it was a hard choice, my aunt started losing her memory and was sent to Long Island Care Center because our family were unable to watch her for 24 hours. We try to visit her daily and find her happy to see us all. The center is beautiful and my aunt seems to enjoy the library and she takes out books whenever she wants. she enjoys the activities that the facility provides. It's nice to see that she has made some friends who also enjoys some of the classes held there. She always tells me how she enjoys all the bingo games and loves when she wins them. The only negative thing is not having my aunt living with us anymore, or tell us stories during the night. Sometimes I crave to visit her during the night hours but we have to follow the facilities schedule.
