I highly recommend Tolstoy-- not only because of the excellent care they provide, but because of their wonderful staff. In particular, Director of Social Services, Sharlyne Gan goes out of her way to assure a smooth transition when people are being discharged from rehab to an assisted living setting. She is kind and compassionate and truly cares about finding the right setting for her patients and wants to see them thrive.
Laura Maggio, Vivianne Donovan and Ann Marie Blackwood are also huge assets to Tolstoy and are always a tremendous help in assisting with this process.

I've seen firsthand how the rehabilitation staff (therapy department) goes above and beyond to make both the short term and long term patients feel at home and a part of the community. The team makes therapy activities and goals as functional as possible--whether that means playing the piano while working on arm strength and coordination, or consuming your favorite takeout meal during a swallowing exam--you can rest assured that your loved ones' personal goals, needs and interests come first in the therapy department! The caring staff, in combination with the practice of the latest evidence-based

My mother-in-law has been at the Tolstoy Foundation Nursing Home on three separate occasions, and our experience has been very positive. The quality and dedication of the rehabilitation staff are excellent. We credit them with her ability to return to independent living at age 95. The entire team was compassionate and caring when she experienced more severe health declines recently. From admissions to nursing and social services, staff were responsive and dedicated. We met dedicated staff who have worked there for more than 25 years, which is rare in nursing homes today. Staffing on the weekends

This is the worst place ever. I hope no one brings their loved ones here. The people aren't friendly. They'll act friendly in the beginning (of course) then once you leave your loved one unattended...well lets just say i hope your love one is aware enough to be able to tell you what happened to them or someone else. OHHHH and don't get me started on the most fake person in that building - the "administrator" Dorthy Corbett. She only cares about her family who every single one of them works in the facility. i truly believe the facility is the way it is because of her. BE AWARE!!!!!

This place doesn't even deserve a full star. This place is ran by horrible administration, who only cares about herself. I would not recommend bringing your loved one to this facility or even working there. You can just feel the horrible energy as soon as you walk in that place and its all because of the lack of good administration. Don't be fooled by anything she says!
