New Riverdale Rehab and Nursing operates a 146-bed nursing home in the Bronx, maintaining occupancy near 95 percent. Residents stay an average of about five months. The location itself offers strong walkability (Walk Score 98), which benefits visiting families navigating the neighborhood on foot.
The facility runs a state-of-the-art therapy center alongside specialized cardiac care and transitional care programs. Doctor presence on staff supports continuity of care, and 24-hour nursing staffing is available. Registered nurses contribute approximately twenty-four minutes per resident daily, nursing aides provide roughly ninety minutes, and licensed practical nurses add another thirty-five minutes. These figures suggest a baseline level of direct care support adequate for the facility’s census.
Respite care services appear designed to accommodate families needing temporary placements for loved ones. On-site clinical services reduce the friction of coordinating external appointments during a resident’s stay.
The dining program prioritizes chef preparation under registered dietitian oversight, with three meals daily. Residents have access to private and semi-private room options, library services, and grounds that include outdoor patios and walking paths. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay coverage.
State inspections have documented patterns in resident safety, abuse reporting, environmental upkeep, and safety systems across multiple survey years. These recurring themes point to systemic challenges the facility has not yet fully resolved. Before committing to placement, prospective families would be prudent to request explicit documentation of how identified deficiencies have been remediated and what operational changes are now in place.
