St Joachim & Anne Residences

I love this facility and I’m so glad that my grandma is being taken care of here. She’s been here for about three years and we haven’t had any problems. The administration office is on point, whatever questions that you may have they will find an answer for you. The nurses on duty are also great workers, there are some who need an attitude adjustment but for the most part, the good outweighs the bad. Her needs are being met on a daily basis, no complaints from us makes everything all good in our book.

My mother was in residence at St Joachim and Anne for four months this past spring and summer. The location was far from our home in Manhattan (and at any other time besides the height of the Coney Island Summer you really do have to be mindful to keep safe), but other than the location, St Joachim is LOVELY. We met so many kind and patient staff members who became really dear to us, and the physical therapists were so so patient with my mother. They accomplished what we feared would be impossible, they got her on her feet again! The atmosphere at St Joachim feels like going to visit your giant family. There’s a gorgeous sitting room in the front where every Friday a spirited poker tournament takes place, and my dad was also able to get a lovingly cooked meal for *himself* there on site every day. The views really are gorgeous (just look towards the beach and not the other way!) and in summer you can grab some Nathan’s to eat outside with your dear one. St Joachim really gets it right and you can trust your loved one here.

Going to visit a loved one in a nursing home is usually a visit filled with mixed feelings: you want to cry, run, scream, and hide anywhere but know you need to go.
Here at St. Joachim & Anne, my sister and I went to visit a beloved priest friend here. The overall appearance of the place was clean, sterile, and the staff was actually… caring. I’m sure you all can agree that is the most important trait you need to have in working in this type of environment.
Comfortable room with an ocean view of Brighton Beach, my friend seemed cared for, cleaned and well groomed. It’s not home, home — but it’s close to it that you can actually feel more at ease.
A role model establishment.
