The Riverside Premier Rehabilitation and Healing Center in New York, NY, provides nursing home care, palliative care, and skilled nursing. Nursing home care supports long term nursing needs, while skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management for people living with serious illness.
Rehabilitation services include programs for orthopedic recovery, amputee care, and comprehensive cancer rehabilitation. Those services may make the center a good fit for someone recovering from one of these conditions while needing nursing support. With 520 beds, the center is a larger community, with more residents, staff, and usually more programming. Total nurse staffing is 2 hours and 37 minutes per resident per day, including 59 minutes of licensed nurse staffing from registered nurses and licensed practical nurses; these figures represent daily nursing time available for resident care.
Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Residents can use the beauty salon and barber shop, Penthouse Atrium, art and meditation offerings, and transportation services. The Culinary Excellence Program includes an in house chef who works with a staff dietitian to prepare the menu, and the community is directed by Daniel Muskin MA, LNHA. With a Walk Score of 60, the area is somewhat walkable, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain nearby destinations independently.
