Overall Review of Long Island Living Center
differentiator7 reviews mention this
Dining fits kosher needs
Dining is consistently described as restaurant-style and kosher options are supported.
Residents and families describe a restaurant-style dining setup, and several specifically mention kosher meals and handling for restricted diets. A number of tours and visits include details like meal timing and snack availability, along with separate eating arrangements for non-kosher food in at least one case. That said, a few reviews also note food complaints or limits related to outside food and warming meals.

Clean facility and organized feel
Many reviews emphasize cleanliness, organization, and a well-kept environment.
Cleanliness shows up repeatedly, with multiple reviewers describing the building as clean, neat, and orderly, including common areas and hallways. Several also connect that upkeep with feeling comfortable during tours and visits. A smaller set of comments contrasts this with complaints about worn details or specific cleanliness problems in a bathroom area, but those are outnumbered by positive impressions overall.

Staff responsiveness and caring
Residents and families frequently describe staff as kind, attentive, and responsive.
Across positive reviews, families describe staff members as courteous, friendly, and attentive to questions and concerns, and some mention day-to-day follow-through with medications and care needs. Several reviewers also highlight that residents look relaxed and well cared for, and they credit staff for keeping people supported and engaged. On the negative side, a few reviews call out issues involving management rudeness, care lapses, or poor communication, which is worth considering alongside the many compliments.
common14 reviews mention this
Activities keep residents involved
The community offers on-site activities and entertainment that residents can join.
Reviews often mention a busy schedule with games, arts and crafts, and social time, including movie nights and access to spaces like a gathering room. Families also describe residents being encouraged to get out of their rooms and interact, with some noting that the environment helps residents feel occupied. A few reviews add nuance by saying their loved one did not participate much, or that engagement levels varied during their visit.
caveat8 reviews mention this
Shared and run-down rooms
Some reviews point to shared sleeping setups and dated or worn conditions.
While many tours describe a clean, comfortable feel, several reviewers raise concerns about room layout and condition. Complaints include dorm-style or shared sleeping arrangements, outdated or worn furniture/linens, and an overall appearance that felt substandard to at least one visitor. One reviewer also describes limits around bringing certain items and practical inconveniences related to room amenities like TV access.
common6 reviews mention this
Pricing and Medicaid access
Reviews describe the cost as affordable, and the community appears geared to Medicaid-qualified residents.
Multiple reviewers discuss value and affordability, and at least one specifically describes seeking an assisted living option that takes Medicaid. Pricing is presented as within a low-to-mid range compared with both county and state benchmarks across unit types, which aligns with reviews that call the price right. Even so, a few comments still question day-to-day standards, so affordability alone may not answer care-quality concerns.
