Personalized rooms, comfortable dining and living rooms, and recreational amenities serve to meet the needs of each resident.

Our medical program includes services provided by certified physicians, podiatrists, ophthalmologists, and dentists who are affiliated with community hospitals should acute or emergency care be needed.

Our rehabilitation and therapy program offers medically supervised physiatry services, complete physical, occupational, speech, and audiology therapy, along with prosthetics and orthotics.

The nursing home is named after the late Right Reverend Henry Boyd Hucles, III, who ministered to the Long Island and Brooklyn communities from 1949 until his passing in 1988. Bishop Hucles served as Rector of St. George's Episcopal Church on Marcy Avenue from 1949 to 1981 and as Archdeacon of Brooklyn from 1979 to 1981. In 1981 he was named Suffragan Bishop of the Diocese of Long Island, where he served until 1988. He was only the second black Bishop to be ordained for this Episcopal Diocese. Just as Bishop Hucles made a life-long commitment to aiding the residents of Brooklyn, the Bishop Hucles Home has an enduring commitment to meeting the physical; psychological, and spiritual needs of all residents, through compassionate,
individualized care.
