The Hebrew Home at Riverdale is  a dynamic, vibrant community situated on 19 acres of lawns and gardens overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades. For 93 years, The Hebrew Home has been deeply committed to assuring the maximum quality of life for each person in
our care.

Several unique living environments are included among the 22 residential neighborhoods. These neighborhoods meet the specific needs of those residents who need minimal assistance, those with Alzheimer’s disease who can benefit from a specialized therapeutic milieu and those who require sophisticated around-the-clock medical monitoring and intensive nursing care.

A staff of full-time physicians provides 24-hour on-site coverage, supported by a roster of over 50 visiting medical specialists affiliated with New York City’s major teaching hospitals.

A dedicated team of nurses and nurse’s aides, social workers, physical, occupational and speech therapists, audiologists, registered dieticians and therapeutic activity professionals ensures the highest level of care, most comprehensive treatment and close personal attention to individual needs and concerns.

An on-site laboratory and pharmacy, x-ray, dental and ophthalmology facilities provide a full range of ancillary services to residents.

Enriched Residential

For people who are cognitively well but need some minimal help with medications and personal care, such as dressing and grooming, the Hebrew Home offers enriched residential nursing.  These neighborhoods fill in the gap between independent living and traditional nursing care.
 

Traditional Nursing

Traditional nursing, often referred to as skilled nursing, is for people who need assistance with the activities of daily living (ADLs) and who may also need special treatments such as wound care, oxygen and tube feedings.  Their conditions may be considered clinically complex.

• Patients aged 65+ | 24hr care | Wide range of nursing care levels

For those residents with memory care issues, the Hebrew Home offers several special  needs neighborhoods. These are for residents who need assistance both with activities of daily living and with orientation to place and time.

In addition, post-acute patients who have been discharged from the hospital and come to the Hebrew Home for rehabilitation and post-acute care may also come to special needs neighborhoods for a variety of reasons ranging from wound care to intravenous medications, before returning to the community.
