Christian Fellowship House

COVID is really not a huge concern but the visiting still runs that way. Only one small office space with no coach or comfortable chair to visit. It's the only place you can visit if outdoors is not weather permitting. Very unique and special place. It's very homey. It's not your typical assisted living - good and bad. Bad is the no doctors also it's not visitor friendly; you need to make an appointment to see your family member so that's very inconvenient. Also the grounds are gorgeous. My dad who has advanced Alzheimer's is really thriving there!!

1. Very friendly and caring management and staff 2. It's fine but an old estate building so not spiffy shiny new, but nice character to the building and grounds 3. Very friendly, warm and caring staff and management, responsive to the kids helping too 4. Good overall, and good medical care onsite when needed 5. Healthy, balanced meals, not fancy 6. Yoga, daily church services (Evangelical Christian culture there) 7. No a la carte charges (other than hairdresser), good value

Christian Fellowship House has given our dad a new lease on life. Before moving to CFH, our elderly parents were trying to live independently, with our mom's dementia worsening and our dad's health failing; it was heartbreaking to see the condition they were in. Moving to CFH has been the best thing we could have done for our parents. Our parents have a beautiful bedroom and come downstairs to the dining room to socialize and enjoy delicious meals every day. They do physical therapy regularly. They love relaxing on the patio and seeing the horses grazing and birds flying in the trees. Our dad was so excited because he has even been dancing again! The staff have been warm and genuinely caring. Sue, the med tech, sets a special alarm every evening to come and give our mom a medicine that needs to be administered right at bedtime. My sister and I went from worrying about our parents constantly to knowing that they are safe, loved, and cared for. We are so lucky to have found CFH!

It was 8 years ago that my family and I were looking for an assisted living facility to place my dear Dad. We were becoming very discouraged about finding a place that we felt was suitable for him.- a place he would be happy in. A couple of the places were absolutely horrendous, and the rest were okay, but they felt very sterile and uninviting. Then by chance we heard about the Christian Fellowship House. We toured the facility and knew IMMEDIATELY that this is where Dad would live! The love, respect, compassion and care that my Dad has been shown the last 8 years has been nothing short of amazing! The terrific staff treat [name removed] and the other residents like FAMILY. I can’t stress enough how SPECIAL the CFH is…from the wonderful caring staff, to the beautiful grounds, and the cleanliness of the facility! It just feels like HOME!! Since we live out of state, it brings us great comfort to know that Dad’s care is in the loving hands of the CFH family!

CFH is far superior to the care given at so-called "skilled nursing home" facilities and rehabs that I've seen in the past 20 years. Their staff is top-notch, talented, friendly and caring, and most have been there for a very long time. The place is gorgeous, like an old Gold Coast mansion - real furniture, carpet, well-maintained, horses in the back yard, and so quiet all you can hear are birds chirping. There are activities - my mom loves Bingo and snack time best. Food is very good, served in a beautiful dining room. On nice days, we can sit outside on the patio to visit, and sometimes pet the miniature horses. The price for all this is far less than you would pay for questionable at-home care or a nursing home. CFH has been a life-saver and a blessing for our whole family.

My mommy developed dementia four years ago and my daddy passed away last year. My mom led a very active life and was living with a family member who was stressed by my moms constant care. I knew my mom would be happy surrounded by her peers. She needed that interaction in her life. After my dad died A Place for Mom gave me a list of assisted living places. Christian Fellowship House struck me as a very special facility. It is owned and ran by a beautiful and loving family. I am so so happy and feel blessed to have found Christian Fellowship House!! They take such a loving and caring approach to helping my mom. All the staff members are special people. When you enter their gorgeous home you feel that sense of love. The home, grounds, and the rooms are simply gorgeous too. Pam the owner is available to you through text at any time. When I call mommy or see her she tells me how nice everyone is to her! She is so happy! I feel so blessed to have found Christian Fellowship House!!

My mom is has been a resident of Christian Fellowship House for almost 2 years. I had looked at several other facilities before deciding on CFH. The assisted living facility is housed in a converted mansion on beautiful grounds. It is a smaller facility, so it feels more like a home. The bedrooms and living areas are well appointed. There are always activities available for those who wish to participate. The staff is wonderful and will go out of their way to assist you with whatever concerns you may have. This is an independent and family run business and you can see this in the level of care they offer. Mom is very happy and content here.

They will tell you that they have a visiting doctor, and a hair technician which they do, however due to COVID it is hard to judge, and those individuals are not able to come in as regular as some other places. Our loved one has never had any complaints regarding the food. They are very accommodating, and the keep a chart of the residents birthdays and bake them a cake to celebrate. They are also well aware of those who do not want to eat, and they encourage them to eat and even bring them different meal options.

My mom was in Christian Fellowship House for the last six years of her life, having passed July 2020. She started out not needing as much care to get through the day. As time went on though that changed and CFH was always there to accommodate her and keep her comfortable, even when she was finally on Hospice care. Thank you [names removed] and all those kind people at CFH who cared for my mom through the years. I am grateful for all you did.

My mother in law was a resident for two years before her passing. The care she received was loving and personalized. The staff took time to know her and her preferences. While her dementia worsened, the level of attention increased to address her needs. This is a wonderful, human scaled place and my wife always were sure she was safe and loved. It was an answer to prayer. The grounds are beautiful and offer wonderful vistas. The rooms are large the large dining room has wonderful natural light, the living room and enclosed patio provided comfort and in all seasons. Christian Fellowship House is a great place.

The place was beautiful, the staff were wonderful, and I thought it would be a the perfect fit for my mother. And it was until she fell and broke her hip. She could not go back because she couldn't walk, which is understandable. She was at Christian Fellowship for 12 days when she broke her hip. I paid $8000.00 upon her entry for the first months rent and the entrance fee of $4000.00 (Probably to pay the fee to a Place for Mom, although a place for mom did not recommend this facility at that time). I questioned Pam the Owner about what if things didn't work out, and she told me 'we work with the families.' My mother spent the next 1 days there. She fell on the 12th day and was taken to the hospital. She was in and out of surgeries, rehabs and hospitals for the next 2 months. While she was in the rehab facility I received a call from Pam asking me if I wanted her to save the room for my mom, I said yes and was told that money to hold her place would need to be paid. I sent Pam 2 more checks totaling $7000 to hold a spot for my mother when she comes back. I was told by Pam that she would be able to come back on a Hospice Order, which we got, but she had an IV for antiobiotics in her arm, and they would not take her back. At that time I questioned Pam if I would be able to get some of the money back, at least the $4000.00 upfront fee. She had only been there 12 days. The answer was NO. Since this hip break she was in and out of hospitals, has spent over $10000 in health care and hospital stays. And Christian Fellowship did not offer any assistance at all or take any responsibility for what happened. Truthfully I was very surprised. As a Christian, and having my mom cared for by what I thought were other Christians really made me feel good. But the fact that the $4000 was not refunded after being there for 12 days with no assistance to pay a portion and any of her medical bills through there insurance really made me sick, and think that this facility really isn't a Christian facility. There was no humbling or saying let me see if I can work anything out. It is not like other places either, but I know after talking to others that when there parents were taken out of a facility after been in less then 2 -3 weeks there money was refunded. I think it is a great disservice to those that are looking at this Christian Living Fellowship. I would not recommend this place for that reason. If my mother did not fall and had stayed there for a couple of months and left, I would have not asked for a portion of a refund. But that was not the case. The caring Christian fellowship didn't call to see how my mother was doing and I know they really didn't care. So in closing be careful when looking at this facility. I am so sorry I had taken her there in the first place and will never recommend it.

liked it. it would be perfect for my mom!!

My mom was at Christian Fellowship for several months, When it came to the difficult decision to place her, this was my pick because it was the closest thing to feeling like home that I could find, If I couldn't keep her home, this was the next best thing. It IS a home. It felt like I had extended family looking after her. The grounds are amazing, the place is well maintained. They became family.The staff is so caring, the care is excellent and mom loved the food. I would highly recommend.

Property beautiful. A bit isolated. Average age of patients older. Wonderful staff. Residents attended to. Waiting list

My mother's quality of life has improved tremendously. The home-like finally took her fear away. The furnishings, the setting, the staff, and the caring family that operates the facility changed our world. I visit happily daily and my mom's comfort makes me able to work and spend time with my family without fear or guilt. Absolutely recommend it to my best of friends. As a former Senior Service provider I can confidently say this is a unique, reasonably priced, jewel on Long Island.

My mom has lived in this family owned facility for over two years now and it has been a joy. She feels right at home their. The staff is wonderful and attends to all the needs of the residences each and every day and their professionalism goes without question. The grounds around the facility are beautiful and the horses are always out and roaming the area. Very picturesque environment and quiet. A wonderful place for any elder family member. I would recommend Christian Fellowship to anyone

My mom was suffering with dementia and Alzheimer's and I searching for a place that was reasonably priced and had the level of care she needed. I had originally placed my mom in another facility because they did not have a vacancy at the time. My mom was in a factory setting and the care was sub par at best. She was in a lockdown unit and it had the feel of a jail. When I was at wits end ,I received a call from [Removed] that a room had opened up. My mom and I immediately fell in love with Christian Fellowship House. A bed and breakfast feel with horses,dogs and a cat. My main concern was for my mom's wellbeing and that she be treated with the dignity and respect she deserved. C.F.H. Exceeded my expectations and then some. [Removed] and especially my moms buddy [Removed] treated her as if she was their own. The same could be said about the rest of the staff. I actually enjoyed visiting my mom and I would always have a conversation with someone while I was there. My mom's health took a turn for the worse and Sue helped me get my mom on hospice care at C.F.H. (Although I had to promise to be a Yankee fan for the rest of the year lol) My mom passed on 10/1 . Although saddened, I know she is in a better place. I also feel good knowing she was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. Thank you guys. I love you all and promise to visit. [Removed]

Christian Fellowship House is a beautiful mansion located on a large piece of land. It's in a secluded area and there is about 45 residents. It's family owned and operated. There are dogs, cats, and horses that live on the property. It's such a pretty place, very homey and reminds you of a bed and breakfast. There's very nice people here and they are so accommodating. I'm sad that it didn't work out for my mother but I would recommend them to anybody.

Our of this community was a nice one. The community looked nice, and clean. The staff was friendly, nice. Our questions were answered. It was a good experience, and all went well. My father in law wanted to remain more upstate, but our tour was a good one.

I was very impressed with my tour of this community. This was one of my top picks for my mother in law and her needs. This community has a very caring atmosphere. It is a family owned, and also family ran community. Everyone from the cousins to the daughter helps take care of the community. This is a very nice community. I would have felt comfortable with my mother in law living here.
