Cobble Hill Health Center

My Aunt, Nancy, has been a returning patient at Cobble Hill. My husband & I live in Florida and the social workers do an amazing job keeping us informed. Nancy has made great connections with the staff and although she may fuss on occasion the team walks in with smiles asking warmly how can they help. A big heartfelt thanks to everyone at Cobble Hill. You have a very difficult job and we truly appreciate all that you do.

Taking a minute to write this review because I know how hard it is to decide on a facility for a loved one, especially in the midst of a health crisis. My 95-year-old father fell and broke his hip, and after surgery we decided to send him to Cobble Hill for rehab. This wasn’t his first stay at CH - he was there for three weeks two years ago recovering from a nasty bout of pneumonia - and we decided to return because what we learned the first time is that CH is a well-run facility with dedicated staff and really excellent occupational and physical therapists. No nursing home / rehab center is going to ever get it perfect, but after touring several (and a really lousy stay he had a few years ago out in Ditmas), we felt comfortable with Cobble Hill. I’m glad we did: once again the physical and occupational therapists were outstanding and dedicated, and most importantly his social workers (case worker Angie and the head social worker Natasha) were great communicators who were compassionate and thorough, and that’s super important in any of these places because you WILL have to advocate for them to get what they need. The staff doctors and nurses at CH were generally great. The aides were a mixed bag and that’s going to be the case anywhere - some were absolutely wonderful and some were callous and absent, but they’ve got a tough, tough a job. Nighttime incontinence shift or cleaning up after ornery, combative elderly patients suffering delirium will tax anyone. The food is, well,…it ain’t the Four Seasons but it’s nourishing and better than public school lunch. One thing that helped on this stay is that we pushed for (and were granted) a single room for my father, which was essential because, with his dementia, a roommate's nonstop TV audio would have made rest impossible. That may not always happen but it was important to us and I’m grateful they obliged. Anyway, I definitely think this is one of the better places around.

I have been here several years. When i have a concern they get back to me right away. I really enjoy the activities. I especially enjoy bingo. The nurse linda is terrific. Miss drachen and miss Wilson are all great nurses.
