Overview of Brookhaven Care Center

Brookhaven Care Center is a 182-bed licensed Adult Home administrated by the facility at 111 Beaverdam Road in Brookhaven, New York 11717, in Suffolk County. Owned by Brookhaven Care Center LLC, incorporated in 2018, Brookhaven Care Center is licensed as an Adult Home. The facility offers dementia care, hospice and palliative care, psychiatric admission, and psychological services. A doctor is on staff. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants provide 24-hour staffing. Pets are not permitted.

Brookhaven Care Center operates at a shared address with Brookhaven Rehabilitation and Health Care Center, a separately licensed skilled nursing facility under different ownership. The program inventory sometimes listed for this location includes bariatric services, IV therapy, wound care, and respiratory services that may belong to the co-located skilled nursing facility rather than the adult home. Families should confirm which licensed entity applies to their family member’s specific care needs and which services are available within the adult home exclusively.

The facility maintains 24 confirmed amenities including pet therapy, beauty shop, fully equipped rehabilitation room, library, large patio, spacious dining, outings, community walks, and gardening. Multilingual staff serve residents in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Polish, Hebrew, Yiddish, Arabic, Italian, and Tagalog. Brookhaven Care Center accepts residents with diagnosed psychiatric conditions and coordinates follow-up with outside mental health professionals.

The New York State Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care, has conducted 4 inspections on file, all with citations. The most recent inspection on February 25, 2025, a complaint investigation, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections noted isolated issues with environmental standards and records. Eighteen complaints are on record at a rate of 9.9 per 100 occupied beds compared to the New York state average of 49.9 per 100 occupied beds. None of the complaints were substantiated. No enforcement actions are on file.

Brookhaven Care Center is suited for families seeking an adult home with dementia or psychiatric care services in Brookhaven. Families must confirm whether the facility or the co-located skilled nursing facility operates the specific program or service they are inquiring about, what services fall under the adult home license exclusively, and ask about psychiatric support protocols and outside mental health coordination before placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What government services provide money for senior housing?

Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:

  • Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
  • Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
  • Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
  • State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
  • Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?

Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.

Do you help families that need Medicaid?

Yes. Assisting families who need Medicaid is important to us as it plays a crucial role in offering financial support to seniors confronting economic challenges. We would like to keep essential healthcare services accessible to all community members, irrespective of one’s financial circumstances.

We extend our services at no cost, ensuring that families and seniors can benefit from tailored assistance in their search for care and home options.
