The nurses and aides are very nice and helpful. Unfortunately these are some of the meals my mom is served.
Facility is very clean, excellent room housekeeping, room furnishings look new and maintained well. Rehab equipment and staff are excellent. Care staff nurses, aides, on staff doctor are horrible, not compassionate, difficult to communicate with. Doctor does not return calls in a timely manner. I should have considered the reviews. I do not recommend this facility my mother was not treated with care or compassion.
Absolutely the best place in Riverdale the staff was amazing In particular nurses Eileen and Patricia amazing!!! My father initially went in for rehab and they really got walking again unfortunately his INR continued to fluctuate and he ended up in the hospital and I decided to move him to a place that was literally right next-door to home HUGE HUGE mistake on my part. Now trying to get him transfer back to the Hebrew home but long waitlist. Hopefully he goes back as soon as possible. Anyway, if I ended up in this place one day I’d be happy. Highly recommend The Hebrew home in Riverdale to any loved one. And fun fact you could visit with your furry friends that’s our dog visiting grandpa
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.
