Key Review Excerpts
“My mother is a resident in the memory care unit at the Hamlet. While I have expressed continued concern with her overall care, Sandy, a CNA... has been nothing but wonderful. However, when Sandy is not working, there is a noticeable decline with my mother’s care.”
“The Hamlet was a very pleasant surprise after a terrible experience with another LI facility. The entire team took great care of my father... The PT (6 days/week) was particularly impressive and helpful.”
“Hamlet was decently-staffed, attentive, and responsive to both our father’s needs and our family’s concerns. As with any medical setting, families must remain involved and advocate for their loved ones.”
