Assisted Living, Independent Living & Memory Care · Yonkers, NY
Ciel on the Hudson operates an 84-bed enriched housing program serving independent, assisted, and memory-care residents at 537 Riverdale Ave in Yonkers’s moderately walkable Ludlow neighborhood.
D&R Yonkers LLC manages the community, which offers 1- and 2-bed apartments alongside dining, housekeeping, beauty services, physical therapy, transportation, and a 24-hour concierge desk. Recreational programming includes exercise classes, social events, and library access. Pets are accommodated.
New York’s Department of Health has conducted five inspections since 2021, resulting in an overall score of 85/100 (grade B); outperforming the state’s assisted living residences average of 77/100 (grade C+).
The facility recorded 10 total violations, representing a 23% improvement versus the state average. Complaint-related visits number 2, substantially below the state average of 6; a December 2022 complaint investigation found no substantiated violations.
The facility’s deficiency pattern points to recurring documentation and records challenges.
November 2021 and February 2022 inspections each cited one records violation. A significant renewal inspection in June 2024 identified seven deficiencies spanning admission and retention standards, resident services, environmental standards, disaster preparedness, and records. The most recent inspection on December 19, 2024, noted only one records deficiency. This pattern suggests systemic documentation issues without marked deterioration or recovery in the available history.
Zero enforcement actions, fines, or immediate jeopardy findings appear in the record.
The facility structures itself for residents navigating life transitions across care levels from independent to assisted to memory-focused, with enforcement and compliance data suggesting manageable regulatory standing alongside documented documentation practices that warrant ongoing attention.
