Huntington Hills Center for Health and Rehabilitation in Melville, NY, provides nursing home and skilled nursing care, along with memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured, supervised setting for someone at risk of wandering.
Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and symptom support for people with serious or advanced illness. Respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and memory care may suit someone living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or related memory needs.
The community has 320 beds, so residents live among more residents and staff and usually have access to more programming. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 8 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident.
Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted. Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. Rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation support recovery after a hospital stay or other medical event, while the Legacy Living Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Memory Care Program focuses on residents with those cognitive conditions. The community is directed by Josef Simpser and operated by East Northport Residential Health Care Facility.
