Reinventing Uniondale's A. Holly Patterson Nursing Care Facility

By Dorothy Pumo
Nassau News Staff Writer


An aging goliath of a Nassau County nursing home will be modernized. The surrounding open space around the A. Holly Patterson Nursing Care Facility in Uniondale will be used for new assisted living facilities, senior congregate housing, a new community center, and very likely, a dialysis center and diagnostic treatment facility. An additional four acres will go to neighboring Turtle Hook School. While this is good news for the older residents of Nassau County, an advocate for "work force" or "next generation" housing still sees an unmet need.
