The Hebrew Home at Riverdale by RiverSpring Living

My mother recently stayed at The Hebrew Home in Riverdale, NY for rehab after surgery to repair a broken hip. This is my mother’s fourth stay here following various hospitalizations and surgical procedures. Each and every time, we have been so impressed with the care and compassion she has received from the dedicated staff.

At 81 years old, having a broken hip is very discouraging to a patient. However, the staff provided just the right amount of empathy and encouragement to our mother to get her committed to the rehab program so that she could go home and live independently again. The good news is she just returned home and now she can use a walker and other adaptive devices in her home to take care of herself.

The environment at The Hebrew Home is more than just a rehab facility. The staff over communicated and kept our family up-to-date on Mom’s rehab plan and progress. Beyond the staff, the entire facility and grounds are beautiful and provide multiple areas for our family and our Mom to get a needed break from the rigors of rehab. We could take her to the living room to visit with us, outside to the patio to enjoy a sunny day or for a walk along the trail that led to a gazebo by the Hudson River

We are eternally grateful to The Hebrew Home and the staff for making this possible. While she was at The Hebrew Home, Mom felt safe and cared for and when we visited we saw first hand the amazing care that she received. We want to share our positive experiences with this facility.

My grandmother lived there for 10+ years. When she initially moved in she was 85 and weak. We did not expect her to be with us long. Over time she got stronger. The nice outdoor grounds and activities available really lifted her spirit. She lived until 96 and we were grateful for her care. Like any place, you need to remain involved, visit regularly, and get to know the staff and social worker. My friend's mother recently moved into the Hebrew Home and while new restrictions are in place at times due to covid, her mother's health is improving. My suggestion is if you want a place with a good range of facilities, decent food options, along with real outdoor space, this is a great place to consider. However, you need to remain actively involved: call your loved one daily, visit regularly. If/when issues pop up you can raise it and address it quickly. Most of the staff is great but like in any place all you need is 1 bad employee to impact care. That is what we did for my grandmother and my friend is doing for her mother and it really helps the quality of care.

I can’t say enough good things about Hebrew Home. My mother has been there for almost two years. She has dementia and a few other problems. They have treated her wonderfully. If my mother had been living in her home, or in any other facility, she would not be alive today. She’s 90 years old now and very feisty. They monitor her health, her nutrition, and basically anything else she needs. I can’t wait for the place to open up so I can take my mother on walks around the beautiful complex on the Hudson River. I know she enjoys that so much. Thank you to all the staff at RP3. They are true heroes.
