It was determined that she needed long term care & was moved from the "rehab" floor to the "residential" floor. I wasn't notified of this change. My mother's room is nothing but a low budget hospital room with a cabinet & small dresser. One for her, one for her roommate. There's no chair(s) for a visitor & the t.v is questionable. She doesn't even have a phone. My mother was taken to the hospital to have her feeding tube removed, a 24hr trip that turned into a week. Again, I wasn't informed! Some of the staff is great, but they can only do so much. Management is changing often so the consistency sucks & you never know who to talk to. For the money my mother's being charged things should be much better.

This is a horrible place my cousin is there. Over 20 years ago her mom was there (not the same…read moreplace at all) so she picked this place it's been over three years and I have seen rodent (mice) the bathroom in the room was so bad I didn't use it. When i Called my cousin I could tell she was slurring her words and I told her I thought she had a stroke to notify the nurse she said they would answer the bell. couldnt get her that night so I called the nurse station the next day. they said she was in the day room with other patients and was fine. Next day she was in medical center she did have a stroke and they didn't Notice for over 24 hours. When you call the nurse station they leave you on hold for over 18 mins (I just hung up). Trying to find the company that owns them IT IS NOT ALARIS HEALTH. They just license the name from them. My cousin has often been thirsty and cannot get water. The care quality is below bare minimun. There is so much more to say about them. It doesn't change because they keep changing owners.

To a visitors eye, it would be as if the entire Pennsylvania Amish country came to Brooklyn, minus the horse drawn buggies. My neighbor, Mr. Chen, a 30 year member of our tightly knit Forest Hills street took ill four months ago, and I had slight reservations (mixed emotions) about going to see him even though we spent a lot of time together over the years. A stroke hit him quite hard and I was told that it severely hampered his memory, that he does not speak and that he mostly confined to rolling chairs and mechanical beds. Nursing homes always feel like Gods waiting room to me, they sadden me as the next step seems so near. Attached tubes to veiny bodies, hollowed screams down long halls and the empty eyes fluttering about are all abound. Bedford is smaller in scale, attendees and health care workers are on the go, room to room, activity to meals, smiles beaming when they look up to greet you. I found this to be the continuous theme from my arrival to my departure and the end result? Peaceful minds, content eyes, friends and family's gratitude. (Review was taken down Oct. 8th and after calling Yelp, they told me to re-post it)

Greetings! Words cannot describe the great care given to me by this center. It all started when I…read morebroke my leg in three places this March, landed in hospital(Cornell Weill which was phenomenal care), was recommended to this center. After so much meds, I was very nervous, I never even visited a center like this before, but no worries, my anxieties were eased by ALL the staff at this center! Ok, here it goes: Intake: smooth and flexible, I was in a priv room, Brandon greeted me at the front desk,and was friendly and reassuring, he offered me laundry services up front, made the arrival easy/smooth. Nurses Aids: The best care for the 3rd floor, Jean, Patricia, Ms. Baxter Margaret, and ALL the aides could not be more compassionate, very attentitive to our needs, and cleanliness. Response time when ringing was immediate. The kindness is unparalleled. Housekeeping: Desmond/ crew kept the rooms, all areas, spotless, every vent was cleaned, all floors shined, all bathrooms were impecably cleaned with germ killing agents that were safe. Linens, blankets were changed DAILY, beds were made while you ate or went to therapy. HOTEL SERVICE! Nurses: on top of their game! They medicated according to orders, when I felt off, they would address meds immediately , worked with docs to update notes asap, KINDNESS is the key word, sympathetic to pain and discomfort and advised where allowed/necessary. Haisley, Danielle, D.J. and Winston were like family! Doctors and nurse practitioners: ALSO on their game, and Ignatius the nurse pract. for our floor did his rounds and addressed all concerns with professionalism and again, kindness. Physcial and OT : Again it could not be better, they really encouraged me to meet my goals so i could go home...especially, Maria, Billie, and Alice really got me moving and were key to help me heal faster, my doctor even responded that she was impressed with my progress. If I said "I can't" they kindly replied "YES YOU CAN!" Social programming: to keep my spirits up, Brandon and Brian made it fun during activities, yes , even during Bingo, they are true positive motivators and kept my positivity flowing! I love you guys! Management: Thank you Clarissa and Rachel for listening to me, Clarissa you are a true leader, calm, and a great listener. Psychology/Psychiatry: Thank you Anthony for listening to my angst when I got there, and I look forward to future sessions, THE THIRD FLOOR ROCKS! Sorry, my photos wont load, there is too many of them , good ones! Readers, if you have to go to rehab in NYC, this is it! I give this more than 5 STARS!

The rooms are not kept as clean as the lobby, there are gnats in most rooms & the common area. Staff suggested for the patient to continuously wave his arms to shoo them away.
