Clove Lakes Health Care and Rehab Center

My mom was at Clove Lakes for short term rehab. When she arrived, she could not walk without assistance. She walked out of Clove Lakes holding my hand and waving to the staff. She returned home after recovering following a long hospitalization. No one cooks like my mom but she loved the food and said it tasted even better because she did not have to cook it or clean up. Her rehab therapists and nurses were amazing. The aides treated her with tender care and she loved each one of them. She loved to treat them to little candies I would bring for her and when my sister and brother visited, she had them bring in little candy treats to give to the staff as well. Thank you to the Management of Clove Lakes for being there when we needed you most and if the time comes that we need you again, we will be certain to call you and to tell our friends about you. God Bless you all!!

WARNING: Avoid this place ! There are several nursing homes and rehab facilities on Staten Island....this one has to be at the bottom of the barrel ! Their rehab floors offer no recreation or pass times for residents and they simply sit idle in the corridors or lined-up like dogs in a kennel around the nurses station in wheelchairs with little to no supervision. The day room is always usually empty and they are too cheap to hire anyone to supervise the patients in there daily. The place is severely under-staffed and patients may have to wait a half hour or longer, after they ring the buzzer, to get aid. Some of the aides are really nice and do a great job, however, others are non-empathetic and can be inattentive and even rude ! Physical therapy is a joke and all but worthless here, too. Most of the nurses are good and helpful, but the doctors rarely show their faces to family members and do a poor job communicating over medicate the patients to keep them more manageable, i petulant or unruly and they become over sedated and lethargic on all these anti-psychotic and anti-anxiety drugs. My advice,.....stay far away from this Hell hole !

Clove Lakes was a very nice nursing home. Everything was nice and clean. The workers were great. They took very good care of my mother. I thought it was very good. I have known quite a few people that were there, and there were no problems. Everybody was great and helpful. It was a very good nursing home. The rooms were good. They were nice. They had some that were two to a room, and they had some that were four to a room, but I don’t think they had one to a room. They were great, even the food was good. In fact, while my mother was there, I would eat dinner with her. The food was delicious. It was good.

Clove Lakes had a friendly staff, it was clean, and they had a lot of entertainment.

Clove Lakes made all the difference in my father,s recovery. After major surgery and several hospitalizations my father lost his independence,thanks to the terrific, caring and professional staff at Clove Lakes he got it back! The wonderful nursing care and dedicated rehab staff worked with him every step of the way. Thank you Clove Lakes !
