So grateful my dad is being taken care of here! Such personalized attention to his needs. His room is clean and roomy. The staff has been amazing with communication and detailed information. The social worker asked if he liked any particular hobbies and activities. I want mom to be able to spend quality time with him so they are setting up a fire stick I brought so they can watch movies together in the room. The coordination with Molly on his transfer and care has been awesome and really relieved a lot of the stress out of the process!!

Approximately three years ago, I had fallen into a coma for one month. The doctors had just about given up on me. I laid in the hospital for five days before they could find out what was wrong with me. After exploratory surgery, they found a hole in the back of my stomach. By now, I was on full life support. I finally came to and my family had a hard time finding a facility that would take me. You see it’s very difficult to find a place here on Long Island that would take a patient like me Full life support, heavy duty respiratory care needed - entire barrage of nurses and doctors to help me become normal. My sons discovered Woodbury Heights renamed after the new owners bought this facility. I must tell you I worked in medicine for 45 years. I’ve done it all The care that I received here is nothing short of being outstanding. The nurses, the doctors, the physical therapist everybody was rooting for me over and over and over I had been on a feeding tube. I needed oxygen I could not feed myself. I could not even speak, however, much to my amazement, one day I realized I am speaking, I am eating on my own and no longer need a feeding tube, I was surrounded by a staff of beautiful people who cared about ME; My needs my wants, my enthusiasm to go to PT, to learn how to feed myself, to learn how to speak again, to learn how to breathe on my own again. It’s almost like the people in this home enveloped me and lifted me up. Now, I will be leaving soon after I have a small medical procedure. I will be resuming my life thanks to Woodbury Heights. Let me not forget to mention the wonderful social workers who put the frosting on the cake for me. If you your family, your friends, your loved ones need a place to bring them to which will surely take care of them in the Best way possible, then Woodbury Heights is your answer. Life is a big wheel and when that wheel turns we don’t know about tomorrow. All we could do is live one day at a time. I share with you my experience here because like I said I worked in medicine over 40 years now I’m on the inside, needing help and I know For sure I got and I’m getting the best Help available. The proof is in the pudding they say well I’m living proof of that. I was here for both nursing and rehabilitation please you are welcome to take a tour see for yourself. We never know what tomorrow brings. Sometimes, as difficult as it is, we need to plan for the future just in case. Janet Shavel.

My mother is a new resident at WHNRC. Since she was a transfer from an upstate nursing home, we were looking for specific things when we first visited. I’m pleased to say we found what we were looking for and more. My mother has been very happy. Every time I visit, I’m greeted by many different members of the staff in all different positions. Skilled care is very, very challenging. If you’re looking at all, I seriously recommend you reach out to these folks.

IF YOU TRULY LOVE AND CARE ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONE DO NOT BRING THEM HERE! staff is terrible! It is like a ghost town inside little to no staff present most of the time. One time when I was there at night the hallways smelt like marijuana. I don’t care what people do on their down time but not while taking care of elderly it’s unacceptable Your loved one will be wheeled into a break room with little to do but wither away watching tv. Staff does nothing to interact or build bonds and trust with patients just watch them over the desk barely paying any attention to signs of illness or struggle with anything. Don’t get me started on transportations either coordinating this wqs horrible my grandpa was wheeled up and down Atleast 3 times just to go to dialysis which he missed Atleast 3/4 times while he was there. social worker is even worse with little to no response expect to hear the phone keep ringing until it hangs up on you. My aunt would call multiple times and rarely ever got an answer or call back right away. I say all this being my family and I experience which ended with my grandfather falling out of bed in the middle of the night and no one came to help him, they found him sitting on the floor For who knows how long. UNACCEPTABLE. With my grandfathers issues he is now dying in the hospital on his way to hospice I warn anyone looking into this place DO YOUR RESEARCH AND LOOK ELSE WHERE.

My husband was a long-term patient at Woodbury Heights nursing home, where he received outstanding care. The staff was always responsive, kind, compassionate, and attentive. The aides and nurses were especially supportive during the final stages of his life. A special thanks to Vivian at the front desk, who welcomed me warmly with a smile every time I visited. The aides and nursing team on the third floor of Woodcrest deserve recognition for their dedicated and compassionate care. I feel truly grateful for the support they provided to me and my family during such a challenging time.
