Affinity Skilled Living and Rehabilitation Center

Affinity Skilled Living and Rehabilitation Center on Locust Avenue in Oakdale, New York, delivers expert skilled nursing and rehabilitation services in one of Long Island's most scenic and accessible South Shore communities. Managed by The Mayer Family, Affinity combines the personal accountability of family ownership with clinical programs designed to support recovery, restore independence, and provide compassionate long-term care. Oakdale is a serene hamlet in the Town of Islip, Suffolk County, defined by its position along the Great South Bay and its proximity to the magnificent Connetquot River State Park Preserve — one of Long Island's finest natural resources. The park's 3,500 acres of protected land, trout-stocked streams, and trails provide a therapeutic natural backdrop that distinguishes Oakdale from more densely developed parts of Long Island. For families visiting from across Suffolk County and beyond, Oakdale is easily reached via the Southern State Parkway and Sunrise Highway, and the Long Island Rail Road's Montauk Branch stops nearby. The facility's clinical capabilities encompass post-acute rehabilitation following orthopedic surgeries, cardiac events, neurological conditions, and complex medical diagnoses. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology are delivered by credentialed clinicians, and skilled nursing services include wound management, IV infusion therapy, tracheostomy care, and ventilator management for medically complex residents. For acute care needs, South Shore University Hospital (Northwell Health) in Bay Shore is the primary nearby hospital, approximately 10 minutes from the facility. Southside Hospital, also part of Northwell Health, is similarly accessible, ensuring that residents have access to one of the nation's top health systems. Nearby communities of Sayville, Bay Shore, and Great River offer dining, shopping, and waterfront amenities that family visitors enjoy. The South Shore Mall in Bay Shore and the boutique shops of downtown Sayville are favorites for outings and casual gatherings. For Long Island families seeking skilled nursing and rehabilitation care that blends clinical strength with personal, family-driven management in a beautiful natural setting, Affinity Skilled Living and Rehabilitation Center on Locust Avenue is an exceptional choice.
