Long Island Alzheimer's and Dementia Center

Long ago, I volunteered at the Long Island Alzheimers and Dementia Center in Port Washington, where I played the piano for the elderly. The center was dedicated to enriching their lives through various programs, and the staff there treated everyone with genuine care and warmth. My time volunteering was always uplifting, thanks to the positive environment created by both the staff and the residents.

As a healthcare person navigating Dementia for your loved ones is not an easy task. Not only was LIAD great and taking care of my father who was suffering from Dementia but the support that was provided to my mother as his primary caregiver was nothing short of amazing. I don't think we as a family would be doing as well as we are even with the passing of my father from this disease. The care and compassion is unparalleled and I am thankful to LIAD for all that was done to help us feel normal and not alone. Thank you all!

It's been a few years since I worked with their team, but I wanted to take a moment here to write a review. Long Island Alzheimer's and Dementia Center, formerly LIAF, is an all-in-one resource for spouses and families as they embark on a journey of coping with their loved one's memory loss. From the moment courage is taken to dial their hotline, you are connected with top-tier professionals for guidance, reassurance, avenues for evaluation and treatment, and respite programs that offer rest to caregivers. In-house programs include early stage, mid-stage, and full day programs for all types of memory loss. Their staff goes above and beyond. Their respite team are true angels.

Took my mom here today. Very friendly caring staff on all levels. Very inviting warm atmosphere. If your unfortunate enough to deal with a person with this disease, thanks to be fortunate we have a gem like this place to bring them. Focus is brain stimulation via activities like art, dancing, socializing etc .

I wish there were 10 stars. I cant say enough good things about LIAF. They are the kindest, most fun people in the world. They make every day a great day. I have never met a group of people who love their jobs and love their patients with such heart. From regular staff to volunteers everyone is energetic, caring and kind. Pat does an awesome job with the chorus on Saturdays, Grace is all smiles. The young group who help out always stay on their toes and keep everyone following along with the program. It's an amazing place to feel welcomed if you have a person with alzheimers or dementia. Caregivers can also stay or do a drop off. They offer bus service in certain areas. My mom is always smiling when we leave here. And it's nice to talk to other caregivers who are in the same situation.
