    Caring staff, clean comfortable facility

    I'm overall very pleased with this facility. The staff-from the front desk to nurses, therapists and social worker Claudia-are caring, professional and attentive; the place is clean, comfortable and welcoming, with activities, virtual visiting and clear family communication. I feel well cared for and would recommend it.

    Summary of reviews

    Overall impression: Reviews describe a facility with sharply mixed experiences. Many accounts highlight warm, compassionate frontline caregivers, helpful aides, and active social programming such as outdoor events, music, and therapy sessions. At the same time, a comparable number of accounts raise persistent operational and clinical concerns that families should weigh carefully.

    Care quality and staff: There is a clear split between positive reports of attentive, kind staff and repeated accounts of inconsistent clinical oversight. Strengths include individual staff members and therapists who are described as knowledgeable and supportive, and instances where nursing staff went above and beyond. Weaknesses center on delayed responses to call systems, inconsistent nursing coverage, and gaps in medication and clinical-safety practices. Several reviewers described serious adverse medical events and expressed concerns following resident deaths and other critical outcomes; these items point to variability in clinical supervision and escalation processes.

    Dining and activities: The facility offers visible social programming โ€” barbecues, patio music, group activities and virtual visiting options โ€” which some families found engaging and beneficial. Conversely, others described inconsistent meal quality and limited activity engagement for some residents. Therapy and rehabilitation availability was praised by some visitors and families, but other accounts indicate rehab services can be intermittent or insufficient depending on timing and staffing.

    Facilities and safety: Multiple comments identify infrastructure issues: worn or outdated furniture, cold bathrooms, trash and cleanliness issues, odor concerns in certain areas, and pest-control concerns affecting dining and rooms. Safety-related observations include limited egress options (reliance on elevators), crowded bathroom arrangements, and reported gaps in fall-prevention and transfer-safety practices. These are facility-level issues that could affect daily comfort and emergency preparedness.

    Management, communication, and finances: Administrative themes are mixed. Positive notes reference automated family communications for infection updates and friendly admissions staff. Negative themes include perceived dismissiveness from leadership, inconsistent updates to families, and problematic billing practices; there are also allegations of theft and billing irregularities that warrant attention. Overall, administrative responsiveness and transparency appear uneven across families.

    Notable pattern and guidance: The body of feedback is polarized โ€” many families praise individual staff and specific programs, while others describe systemic concerns with cleanliness, staffing, clinical oversight, and administration. Prospective residents and families should tour the building, observe staffing patterns and communal areas, ask about staffing ratios and clinical supervision, review billing and visitation policies, and verify current infection-control and pest-control measures before making placement decisions.

    About Hempstead Park Nursing Home

    Hempstead Park Nursing Home sits on Front Street in Hempstead, New York, and has served the community for many years with its 251 certified beds, offering both long-term and short-term care, and you'll find all sorts of skilled nursing care, along with specialized services like memory care, rehabilitation, and respite care for those who need a break from caregiving at home, so people get care for different medical needs, and you'll see that the staff cares for residents' well-being every day. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are given right at the facility because some folks need more help with moving, daily tasks, or talking, and the home is close to local hospitals for extra medical support when needed. There's a strong focus on infection control, always following CDC guidelines with safety steps like PPE, social distancing, and a special pandemic plan, and visitors have to follow these rules during visits.

    You'll see the home accepts all insurances and works with many medical specialists, so residents can get different types of care as needed, and the staff is known for being friendly and respectful. There's a communication form for families to get in touch with staff, and most people who visit say the place is clean, and the staff try to help and make people comfortable, though no place is perfect and some areas get better marks than others.

    In terms of numbers, the facility averages about 219 residents each day, which is higher than both state and national averages, and staff turnover is lower here-33.1% compared to the national average of 53.5%, and RN turnover is also a bit lower than the national average. There's a strong push to keep up with health standards, and you'll see vaccination rates for flu and pneumonia that are usually higher for long-stay residents-flu vaccinations at 98.4% and pneumonia at 89.8%. Staffing hours are below state and national standards, with nurse aides putting in about 1 hour and 48 minutes per resident per day, LPNs about 43 minutes, and RNs around 16 minutes, which is less than you might find at some other places, especially on weekends, when RN attention is lower than average.

    When you look at ratings, Hempstead Park Nursing Home has some strengths but also a few weaknesses. It earned quality measure ratings of 4 and 5 stars for long-stay residents, but short-stay quality measures are rated 2 stars. The overall rating from CMS is 1 star, with staff numbers and health inspections rated on the lower side, though resident safety sits at 4 stars. Preventative care, like vaccination rates for pneumonia and flu, shows as a 3-star level, and their last state inspection happened in November 2021.

    The home is for-profit and keeps up a wide range of programs, especially for people needing ongoing care or rehab after hospital stays, and some programs focus on memory support and short-term stays. Amenities can be toured, so families can get a feel for the place, and the home tries to offer a warm and supportive setting for everyone. Families and residents can always check the website for more details if they want to learn more about how care is provided and what to expect.
