Assisted Living, Independent Living & Memory Care · Bronx, NY

Overview of RiverWalk Senior Apartments

RiverWalk Senior Apartments offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in the North Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx, New York. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private room. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

All three care levels are available here. That means a resident whose needs grow over time may be able to remain at RiverWalk rather than move to another community. The community has 80 beds and offers private rooms, giving each resident a single personal space. Its Walk Score is 49 out of 100, placing it in a car dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride.
