My Older Brother is the home and the care is outstanding. The staff is very friendly and caring Its a great nursing home for veterans. When my brother got there with one week you can see what they did for him may him look and feel good. He came from the northport Va Nursing home and the care wasnt that great. At Stony Brook The care is super. My Name is Anthony Pacholk, My Brother Prokop Pacholk is in the home. We are both Vietnam Vets. ITS A GREAT PLACE.

The Long Island state Veterans Home is the premier provider of long term care to Long Island's veterans and their families. Had the opportunity to have a relative receive short term rehab after a long stay in a hospital ICU.
Doctors,nurses, therapists, social workers, pharmacists and nursing aides were all top gun and got my loved one back on her feet after 3 weeks of great care.
Kudos to the Environmental Services and Facility Maintenance staff as well. The Home is well maintained and very clean. Long Island is fortunate to have such a wonderful facility for our vets !!!
From the day of admission (TY Lauren, Irene & Aneal) to the day of discharge, our Mom was in great hands and received outstanding care. Thank you to Stony Brook University for having such a wonderful place on the campus.
It is without any hesitation that we can recommend LISVH.

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.

After 4 long months of incompetence, we were, finally able to get my dying Father out of this uncaring place. the lack of compassion is disgraceful!!! They "yes" you, literally to DEATH. Examples: The night nurses on three occasions that I know of forgot to give him his medicine, while trying to clean out his oxygen tube, that was filled with mucus due to the fact of him crying uncontrollably, We realised that it had never even been turned on! The Doctors refused to provide the correct amount of medications even after my Dad was put on Hospice care. So my Dad, knowing that his time on this Earth was coming to an end, suffered terribly! Hospice care is supposed to make a dying comfortable, instead they just basically sat by and did nothing! Late last night I was able to get him out of there and put him in a different care facility. The only people that helped were the hospice care people who were "appalled" by the level of care that they witnessed! They should be ashamed of the way they treated this Veteran of the war! The only thing that we asked for was for him to be at peace for the few days that he had left. I guess that was too much to ask for...

Long Island State Veterans Home was very good to my mother. She already passed away, but they were very professional, kind, and they did a good job when she was there.

My experience with Long Island Veterans Home was a very pleasant one. The staff is very supportive and helpful to the elders and display motivation to work their hardest ensuring everyone stays healthy and comfortable. Everyone seems to be happy and cheerful at work as they enjoy their job and realize they are doing their part to provide for these former soldiers. The veterans themselves were great too. They all seem very content with their lives at the home and maintain a positive and friendly attitude as you see them walking the halls or hanging out in a wheel chair. Whether disabled or just aging they all feel at home in this environment. The stories they tell and knowledge they have is also very enriching. Visiting the home was a learning experience and showed me the care that some people have and give every day. I also got a lot more knowledge of World War II. It is a clean, nice place with a friendly staff and residents.
