Ridge Street Gardens

Overview of Ridge Street Gardens

Ridge Street Gardens is a high rise community with 47 beds in Manhattan, New York, offering assisted living and independent living in private rooms. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while independent living is for residents who manage their own daily care. Having both care levels may suit someone who lives independently now but could need more help later, since a change in care may be possible without moving to another community.

Ridge Street Gardens is a smaller community. With 47 beds, residents may get to know staff and other residents, while private rooms provide sleeping space that is not shared. The high rise building is the community’s residential setting, and the home may suit a resident who wants a smaller community with the option of assisted living support if daily needs change.

The area has a Walk Score of 99 out of 100. It is a walker’s paradise, so daily errands do not require a car, and a resident who no longer drives can handle those errands on foot. Pets are allowed, so a resident with a pet can plan to bring the pet when moving in. New York Foundation for Senior Citizens, Inc. operates Ridge Street Gardens.
