Our dad has many medical issues: he is non-ambulatory, unable to feed himself, diabetic, and visually impaired etc. Each of these medical issues was taken care of by Menorah’s full-service facility and caring staff. We found both administrative and medical staff to be responsive to questions and/or concerns. We felt that the doctors, nurses and administrative staff exhibited a sense of compassionate patient care. The social workers, in both short and long-term care were phenomenal.Our first choice was for dad to be home. Our second choice: Menorah.

Menorah’s staff is amazing. That includes the doctors, nurses, social workers, security, and other staff. Even though at times the home was short staffed, as a result of Covid, the nursing staff was always compassionate and caring. The facility is clean and follows Covid protocol. The parking lot makes visiting often much easier. My father who was very hesitant about my mother going to any facility, was very pleased for the 4-5 months that she spent there. My entire family has tremendous gratitude to the Menorah staff for making a very difficult time a little bit easier. After my mother passed away, we received calls from several staff members expressing their condolences.

Menorah took great care of my grandmother Frida while she was in the rehab center after she had hip surgery. The entire staff made sure that she was comfortable and happy. Dr. Kamal listened to all of her needs and took excellent care of her. Alexandra from social work made sure she was admitted and dispatched properly and was very efficient. Nurses Tanisha, Anna and Nandnarie all helped her so much in her time there. Thank you menorah for a great experience. I would recommend them to anyone!

This facility is unsafe for geriatrics and once they enter they will not leave. We had an extremely poor quality of service experience with a case of physical abuse (on video), neglect (bed sores and lack of changing of colostomy bag), and rejection of multiple requests to admit to hospital by the guardian as it was evident the resident was unresponsive, not eating and getting worse. This resident ultimately passed away from sepsis. The facility has refused to provide any medical records. Expect a lawsuit.

Dont let your loved one stay here. They will neglect and harm them. We were visiting our relative like we do every week there and she wasnt being herself. We begged for a doctor and they said they dont have one!!!! Staff is not safe or reliable. This is a place that you sent to just to die. Take your loved ones out while you can. My relative was sent to the hospital for extreme dehydration and neglect after being here for a month

Awful experience overall! There are very nice people working there (the security downstairs and one particular nurse are wonderful), but they are lost in a sea of incompetence and horrid carelessness and indifference to other people’s suffering.A few months ago they finally resumed visitation, after being on a lockdown, but since, I believe, September, the only way to see our loved ones is to take them outside. Oh boy, that’s a real torture, because it takes at least 30 minutes, but often longer than an hour every time for the staff to bring residents out due to various reasons. I’m not claiming that none of them are valid, but the visits are required to be scheduled at least a day ahead, I’d expect for that particular reason, so everyone is aware and prepared.I don’t even want to go to the fact that residents hygiene is not a priority for the staff… it’s just horrible. And being understaffed is a ridiculous excuse, because it was that way even before they started constantly announcing it.

Tl;dr This is in no way a medical facility of any kind, its a warehouse that maximizes profits at the expense of residents health and safety. Dont be fooled by the landscaping, youre risking your life by not going elsewhere!Edit: I truly believe if I retelling my experience dissuades someone from coming to this facility then actual lives might be saved/extended.A relative was here for rehab; somehow Menorah Center forgot to prescribe a medication he was taking in the hospital before being transferred there as well as at home for years previously.The error was only caught when I noticed it 10 days later!I demanded to speak to a doctor but was told he wasnt going to be back for 45 min; thirty minutes later the most nebbish doctor you could imagine appears - it very quickly became clear this man was a cardboard cut out of a doctor, a doctor in name only who was hired to meet minimum requirements. He had to be the cheapest option available as I couldnt picture him ever being hired as a doctor anywhere else. My relative later told me in two weeks he saw a doctor only ONCE.Let me remind you this was in the middle of a weekday, before the incident I heard a nurse tell a patient there was no doctor on duty until morning (for hundreds of patients!) so Im assuming that is the normally case at night and probably on weekends.I guess they have some type of deal with devil whereby medical emergencies only occur during the 40 hours a week a doctor is available.Now imagine theres a medical emergency (forget the doctor I saw, hed be on WebMD trying figure things out). Just the location alone would take an ambulance 15 minutes to reach to front door, by the time someone is loaded onto the ambulance and then taken back to the hospital (Coney Island Hospital BTW, as anything else would be too far) an absolute BEST case scenario would see the patient arrive 45 minutes after the initial 911 call (and who knows how long that took them to make).Not having at least one *competent* doctor on call at all times, considering the age & health of the hundreds of residents is certainly negligent and should be criminal! There shouldnt even be a lunch break where theres NO DOCTOR ON THE PREMISES!Further I didnt assess how many registered nurses there were in the building but now that I think about it all I ever remember seeing were health aidesI really could go on much longer about this place, but just want to add a few more things as briefly as possible.No review would be complete without mentioning that seemingly the entirety of the staff exhibit extreme laziness and cynical attitudes on a level normally only reserved for government employees (this is less the fault of the individuals, theres clearly a toxic work culture likely coming from up top).Additionally the physical therapy here appears sup par based purely on the lack of results I witnessed - in fact there was deterioration due to the amount of time he spent in bed.Also dont be fooled by the nice location, it wont matter one bit as no one ever leaves their rooms unless a family member is doing it. The times family did request to have someone go outside they waited obscenely long times for the staff to even help bring them downThe Menorah Center is just a warehouse existing solely to bill medicare/insurance companies as much as possible with actual health care only being a nuisance thats provided a the bare minimum level needed meet the minimum standards required to keep this place operating. Making people better is inconsequential, it wouldnt even shock me if it was discouraged so as to insure patients are kept longer (I really hope this would never happen but it wouldnt be out of place with everything else I saw)Its one thing to run the place for profit, its something else to endanger lives in the name of maximizing that profit!Edit: most of my experience with the staff and related comments apply to the night shift

11/19/2020For 4 weeks, I stayed at the Menorah Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing Care in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, NY. First, the facility is immaculately clean with spacious rooms. Second, the food is not only varied and healthy, it is tasteful and the nutrition staff were frequently asking about the quality of the offerings and what I wanted more of; they always increased the amount and variety of my meals. Third, the therapy staff motivated me to go beyond what was required; Im someone who doesnt like physical exercise but was soon asking for more and more. The nicest thing was that the therapy staff encouraged me to keep going and extended my time in the therapy labs; one hour rapidly became three hours or more daily. Finally, the nursing and CNA staff. The kindness and caring nature of everyone was overwhelming. I was on 2 West and everyone on every shift was so attentive all the time, I thought I had private concierges. I must mention the medical staff. I was attended to daily by my doctor; everything that I said was a problem was immediately tended to and resolved.During the past year, Ive been in three hospitals and another rehabilitation center. Im finally home and I have not felt this fit, strong and healthy since my stay at Menorah Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing care. They turned a rehabilitation event into a spa stay at a 5 star resort. If you ever need A+ care, Menorah is the place to be.

It’s been a rough road getting my Mom settled and happy at Menorah. The transition from home to the nursing facility was difficult for her and our family. Thanks to the staff this transition was made a lot easier Everyone from the Doctors, CNAs, rehab staff, recreation staff and companions help us through it. They handle all our questions and concerns with professionalism and compassion. She is always clean and well taken care of. Menorah’s yearly family Thanksgiving dinner that took place last Thursday was the topper. Everything from the delicious food, entertainment and service made it a perfect night.

My Dad, who is 92 years old, is currently a resident on 3 south. He is receiving excellent care from all the staff. The nurses, CNAs and all the other departments are attentive and kind to him. The nursing supervisor, Anna, seems to be always present on the unit as a resource for staff and is always so helpful when health issues arise. He has been at Menorah since February and I am grateful for the care he is getting. He was recently put on hospice and the hospice staff are very caring and compassionate.I highly recommend the facility to anyone who may be faced with the difficult choice of having to choose a facility for a loved one who needs round the clock care. Menorah does a wonderful job of meeting residents medical, physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
