Operated by Nyack Operating, LLC under owner Edward Braunstein, Nyack Ridge Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is a skilled nursing facility in Valley Cottage, in New York’s Hudson Valley region. The 160-bed home serves as both a short-term rehabilitation center and a longer-term nursing care setting. Families can choose from Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay to cover care costs.
The facility has an occupancy rate of 95%, with residents staying an average of 118 days. The population is a mix of post-acute rehabilitation patients and those receiving ongoing skilled nursing care. Rehabilitation is a primary focus, with subacute rehabilitation, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, respite care, and 24-hour staffing available. Daily nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 28 minutes per resident. Residents are supported by registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses.
The Christian Herald Road facility is in a car-dependent neighborhood with a Walk Score of 15, meaning most errands and appointments require a vehicle. The quiet, rural setting may appeal to residents and families who prefer a less urban environment.
