CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.

Adira at Riverside Rehabilitation and Nursing is as a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Yonkers, New York, with 120 beds. The privately owned community, operated by L&A Operations LLC, offers short- and long-term care, memory care, respite services, and a certified ventilator unit and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
CMS gives the facility 2 stars overall, about 36.3% below the New York average, a rating driven primarily by its Health Inspection record, which is 64.8% below the state average. Over the past six years, the facility averaged 8.7 deficiencies per year compared with New York’s average of 5.1.
Two inspections documented actual harm to residents related to fall-prevention and staff-supervision failures. A November 2023 substantiated complaint found that a resident requiring two-person assistance was cared for by a single aide, resulting in a fall and fractures. An October 2025 abbreviated survey cited improper turning technique and missing bed safety equipment following a fall that caused a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Fall prevention and supervision concerns recur throughout the inspection history.
Against that picture, CMS Staffing rates are 11.1% above the New York average, and Quality Measures are 26.6% above the New York average. The facility’s clinical outcomes and staffing depth are above peers, even as its compliance record is not.
Rehabilitation infrastructure is a defined strength. Adira operates specialized tracks for stroke and traumatic brain injury recovery, certified cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, a ventilator unit, and occupational, physical, and speech therapy on site. A modern rehab gym supports the post-acute program. Memory care is available through dedicated Alzheimer’s and dementia units.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 95%, above the New York average of 88.3%, suggesting consistent demand.
Adira at Riverside Rehabilitation and Nursing suits post-acute patients in Westchester County who are pursuing intensive, medically complex rehabilitation, particularly those requiring respiratory, neurological, or cardiac recovery programs.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 308th out of 387 homes in New York for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 1h 48m per day | ▲ 157% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 25m per day | ▼ 46% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 27m per day | ▲ 12% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 49m per day | ▲ 20% State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 9m per day | ▲ 29% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 1h 25m per day | ▲ 204% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
