Overview of Huntington Hills Center for Health and Rehabilitation

Operating for 27 years as a comprehensive post-acute and long-term care community, Huntington Hills Center for Health and Rehabilitation is a 320-bed skilled nursing facility in Melville, Long Island. The home is operated by East Northport Residential Health Care Facility, Inc., which David Lipschitz owns. Families can choose from Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay to cover both short-term recovery and longer-term care. The facility has a strong occupancy rate of 98%.

Residents stay an average of 101 days. The population is a mix of people recovering after hospitalization or surgery and those who need ongoing skilled nursing care. Rehabilitation is a major focus. There are short-term recovery programs and a dedicated memory care unit called Legacy Living for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Daily nursing care averages about 3 hours and 4 minutes per resident, providing consistent hands-on support throughout the day. Respite care is available for families seeking temporary relief. There’s a doctor on staff alongside its 24-hour nursing team.

State inspections have identified care quality and documentation issues across multiple survey cycles. The facility has consistently corrected cited deficiencies within required timeframes, showing responsiveness to regulatory oversight.

Residents receive three prepared meals each day along with an always-available menu for added flexibility. The neighborhood is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 8, so most visits and errands require a vehicle. Families considering the home may want to observe daily routines and ask how the facility manages transitions between short-term rehabilitation residents and those receiving longer-term care.

3 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +4% above state avg
Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 37m per day ▼ 11% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 48m per day ▲ 4% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 9m per day ■ Avg State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 3h 8m per day ■ Avg State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 5m per day ▼ 24% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 20m per day ▼ 28% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day
