My uncle Larry was a resident for his stay following a cardiac episode which brought him to Coney Island hospital. The therapy program led by Lynel & Sharon helped him regain strength with his arms and legs. Nurses Ruthie, Vincent & Josephine were outstanding approaching him with compassion and love. The nursing aides Avis, precious and Jody had a smile with every interaction. Also have to thank the cook Earl, housekeeper Miguel and maintenance Ivan for their hard work. Last the activities crew of Diane, Leo and Ashley for keeping him busy with patio bingo, sip and paints and cosmic bowling.

I spent over two months at Buena Vida and my experience was very pleasant. All the staff and nurses were very nice and helpful. I especially enjoyed the activities run by Christina Santos.

This nursing home came highly recommended by a friend that stayed here for a while, so I had to check it out. This place has some of the most caring, friendly and kindest staff you'll ever meet. They're meticulously decorated, organized with attention paid to every detail from the aesthetics to the service they provide. It looked like a clean and professionally run place. I visited to take a tour to see if it would be a good fit for someone in our family for rehab and I was greeted warmly by reception and again by each person I met! You don't often see service with a smile these days...especially in Brooklyn lol and most certainly not in many nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. (We visited several). 5 Stars across the board.

I had a wonderful experience at Buena Vida Rehabilitation Center. The physical therapists are extremely knowledgeable, and I am so grateful for the care and dedication they showed throughout my recovery. They truly helped teach me how to walk again, and their patience and encouragement meant so much to me. What stood out the most was how affectionate and caring they are with their patients. You can really feel that they genuinely care about everyone they treat. The administration team also goes above and beyond to make sure patients and families feel supported and well taken care of. I highly recommend Buena Vida Rehabilitation Center to anyone in need of rehabilitation services. Thank you to the entire team for your compassion, professionalism, and support!
