I am/was a resident of this facility

The rooms are fine The food is terrible and not nutritional especially breakfast Understaffed especially at night Unprofessional social worker who was telling me that I should have known the inner workings of the facility because I was there and the non shower was my fault so she tried to make it all my fault. This is the most appalling of all the fact this person tried to turn it around on me. Of course she then kept saying that she didn’t mean it like that but it was back stepping. I can’t w...

Staff is very under trained they do not take care of the patients. Had a friend stay here for 2 weeks and in that time he developed a terrible bedsore, malnourished and severely dehydrated, pneumonia. Please please please stay away from this place.

My dad has been in Affinity Skilled Living and Rehabilitation Center for a couple of months now. He is getting physical therapy. He is there for rehab. I'm up here and they're down there, and it's very frustrating because they don't call me back. They may call me back after I call them. Very recently, I've called them three times this week and still have not received a phone call back. I know my dad is getting better, and he's happy there and everything else, but it's hard for me being at a dist...

Provider Response

We take your words seriously and will internally investigate to ensure we provide the best and most timely care possible.

Food is attractive. plentiful and tasteful. Care appears to be mid-range. Not enough chairs for visitation AND NICE CLOTHING OR ITEMS BROUGHT IN OFTEN DISAPPEAR OR ARE "NO SHOWS" This is serious as plenty of thought and expense goes into our choices to please our friends and relatives who are so dependent upon acts of love and kIndness. AFFINITY, YOU HAVE TO DO BETTER TO TRACK THESE LOSSES AND FIND THE CAUSE AND TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTS PERSONAL PROPERTY!!!

My mother, Joan, entered Affinity In December 2022. She was admitted on floor two for rehabilitation. She ended up getting Covid and had a setback and went up to floor three where she will remain as a forever patient. The nurses and the aides on the second floor were absolutely wonderful. They were friendly, they remember who you were and they were more than willing to help. The PT’s, OT’s and speech therapists were absolutely fabulous. They all knew who my mother was and who we were. We were...

The facility is woefully understaffed, with one nurse sometimes covering an entire floor. Aides receive no supervision or training regarding the importance of interacting with residents. One aide can sit in a room with residents and focus on her iPhone. They don't seem to understand that patients need to be involved, even if only a brief comment, to feel they are still alive. Too often the residents are left in the hallway with absolutely no social interaction, as if the residents were more ...

I am/was a resident of this facility

I spent two and a half weeks there and found the staff and medical personnel to be nothing but courteous, always willing to help (even in the middle of the night) and prompt to give assistance whenever I needed it. Their concern was obviously genuine and they often went the extra mile for me, as well as responding to the many questions and concerns of my son, who was my caregiver during my stay. The physical therapy was by far the greatest feature ... everyone challenged me to get me back on m...

Not all that glitters is gold! Even though the facility appears to be eye appealing, the care leaves a lot to be desired. There is only a few staff that truly care. The rest do not treat the residents and family members as people with feelings. Times may be tough, but that does not give anyone an excuse to disregard humanity. They may say what you want to hear but don't believe anything until you see it with your own eyes! Nothing but empty words and unfulfilled promises. They consistently lie ...

My father was a patient on the vent floor for 2 days in November 2020. My father fell out of bed had his feeding tube dislodged and replaced by them which caused massive internal bleeding. He was left in his bed for 2 days bleeding and not sent to the hospital even after he asked to go. After 2 days the night nurse contacted me and asked if I wanted him to go and I demanded he did. He had two major surgery’s to stop the bleeding. If you honestly care about your loved one I would never send my fa...

This place is Just Awful! My brother was admitted for Rehab. He chose Affinity because he had stayed there about 5 years ago and had a good experience. Seems this place has decided to cut costs. Their Social Workers Chantel and Dana are extremely rude. They are a poor choice for the face of Affinity. The Social Workers wanted us to terminate my brothers insurance and put him on Medicare so they didn’t have to recertification him weekly. They didn’t care that when he was released that this actio...

Not good at all! 2 aides for 30 patients is unacceptable. Too many mistakes made by nurses, wrong meds for wrong people. Not enough attention paid to patients. Not enough PT-1 hour does nothing for patients. My husband wound up with a very serious Urinary Tract Infection due to him being left to sit in diapers all day long. When asked to go to bathroom he was told "it is not poop time now"!! Unacceptable, unacceptable, unacceptable. I will be sending letters to the state and any other agency I f...

My mother has been there for 8 years. When I made vist this past Monday, I found her sitting in the corner of her bathroom stripped of all of her clothing. She does not walk and cannot remove her clothes. The aide was no where to be found. After a search, she appears and says she had to "pee". She got a 2 day suspension. I don't buy it. I'm not sure what happened but I will never get the image of my mother sitting there naked, with her head hanging down. I was told this was a 1st inciden...

This is a terrible place to put your loved one. I wish I had never put my father in here. It's too late now.He fell four times in two weeks in this nursing home. If you love your family member do not put them in Affinity Nursing Home in Sayville.

Parent was at Affinity for a couple of weeks, Parent told us staff scolded her out loud when she had a bathroom accident; staff complained to her; staff made parent feel worse. On visits, staff appeared pleasant and caring. Parent cried to come home, Staff was often no where to be found during visits. Laundry was lost or wrong laundry came back although it had patient's name. Other patient said laundry lost blankets. Place was not well-heated for patients. Staff was not available for p...

The facility is clean and quite. That is the only good thing I would have to say about Affinity. My mother uses a walker for a condition with her feet, but she was there for rehab after a heart issue. In the morning she was plopped in a wheelchair and wheeled out to the lobby for the day and told that she wasn't allowed to return to her room or sit in the chair in her room. There she sat like one of the nursing home patients. When she asked if she could get a straw to drink some juice served ...

The best I can say is that this place is the anti rehab - All the patients sit in the hall way and do nothing all day. There are some nice nurses but that is all I can say about this place. My mother went there able to walk and stand and left with her legs bent and no longer able to walk. Seems to me that all they care about is getting the money from the insurance. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place

I think Annie is a very low cost place to put your parent or loved one. I actually forgot to give my mother her medicine. They tried to give her someone else's medicine, I don't check Dan's to make sure that they're giving the medication read the correct person. They are so short staffed it's pathetic. My mother has weird over 45 minutes to go to the bathroom. Their service is now the reason of why my mother is being transferred. The only nice thing I can say about affinity rehabilitation is...

They have a state of the art physical therapy unit. Kristen, Carrie, Erin,Wanna, Jessica, Deidre, Dorothy,Ray, and Lee Anne the social worker were so kind and helpful.

Because Affinity Nursing Home was only eight years old, we thought it was modern, so we placed my husband there. However, the family didn't like it very much. I wasn't impressed with this facility at all. They weren't that bad, they were just okay. It also wasn't that clean. The staff was unimpressive. They had problem with the organization and there wasn't enough staff.

Of all the facilities I toured, Affinity seemed to be the most hygenic and clean. The physical therapy department was impressive, and the nursing staff seemed very qualified and caring. We had a sit down meeting with the rehabilitation unit and they assured us that our loved one's needs would be met, if not surpassed. The recreation department also seemed very active and involved with the residents. Many of the activities they provided matched the interests of our loved one. All in all, Affinity...
