My dad was a WWII Veteran who, in 2023, was blessed to have spent his final months being cared for at the Long Island State Veterans Home. My family was truly astonished by and grateful for the highly skilled, respectful, and loving care my father received. LISVH is a remarkable institution staffed by extraordinary people who justifiably take pride in the important work they do. These professionals include doctors, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, nutritionists, social workers, recreation specialists, administrators, and others, with further support from Stony Brook University teaching hospital and medical school. There are also hundreds of volunteers who provide further assistance to staff and residents. Food is excellent and varied and customized to the needs of each resident. The facilities are bright and immaculately clean and are located in a beautiful setting. LISVH is a compelling model for how veteran and elder care can and should be provided in our country. In our experience we found that the staff often anticipated my dad's evolving needs and promptly acted to provide needed assistance and equipment. Their phones don't go un-answered and we were always kept well informed. LISVH is a wonderful place. They deserve at least a 5 out of 5 rating in every category, if not a 10.

My husband is at Long Island State Veterans Home. They're an across-the-board care facility that accommodates both memory and physical. The staff is stellar. Unbelievable. The environment is five plus. The accommodation is excellent. My husband is a Vietnam vet, and I was able to get him in. I was surprised because there was a waitlist, so I grabbed it right away. Even though it is far from my house, the accommodation is stellar. You cannot get better accommodations. The physical accommodation, the staff, and the people, everything is five plus. They went out of their way to accommodate you. The staff sat down with you and asked what music my husband likes. What are his activities? What did he like to do? They get my husband out of bed. They dress him well. If he needs help to be fed, they do that. They accommodated a wheelchair for him. You name it, they have done it to him already. The surroundings are beautiful. He shares a room. It is very big. There are two big TVs in there. There are a few common areas, very large rooms, TVs here and there, and movies. It's meant to accommodate people who they feel have given to the country and they're giving back to them. There's nothing like it.

Lovely room, window looking out onto sky and trees. The staff are, for the most part absolutely warm and caring. They are so helpful and really care about the residents. There are many wonderful activities, but my husband is not willing to participate. The community offers many amenities, for residents with many different interests. I could not have made a better choice for my husband. The care he is receiving, the love and support are beyond anything I could have dreamed of. So very important for my wonderful husband, who deserves the very best of care. Thank you so very much

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.
