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.
