ALIYA on 87th offers care for people who need both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing support, and the building itself is quite large, with space for up to 210 residents in a mix of private and shared rooms, which all come furnished and include private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, phones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi so there's a bit of regular comfort and connection for everyone whether you're staying for a short while after a hospital stay or making it your permanent home. The community is set up for people with serious medical needs, keeping residents safe with emergency alert systems and a 24-hour call system, and there's always staff around, including nurses-RNs, LPNs, and CNAs-with healthcare support day and night and regular assistance for bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management. For those with memory loss, there's a secure unit with routines built around regular activities and meals to help provide structure. The staff helps with moving in and offers a concierge service to make the transition easier, which can be a relief for new residents and their families.
Residents eat their meals together in a communal dining room, which helps people get to know each other, and meals come out on heated trays, with restaurant-style service and accommodations for special diets, including diabetic options and allergy-sensitive choices. The facility has spaces for recreation, like a small library, computer center, game room, movie theater, arts room, and music programs, and there are also patios, gardens, and walking paths outside for anyone who wants fresh air or a bit of sunshine. Daily scheduled activities, day trips, and community or resident-run events give folks something new to look forward to, and things like a beauty salon, spa, nail care, barber shop, lounges, and fitness room are all available on-site, making it easier to stay active and feel cared for. There are also wellness programs focused on both physical and mental health, plus community support like housekeeping, dry cleaning, and family services.
Transportation and parking are handled either by community vehicles or by arranging services for residents, though these are for non-medical needs, and for residents who need to work on regaining their strength or speech after a hospital stay, the staff runs personalized rehabilitation programs for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, which have a short-term rehab rating of Average. ALIYA participates in Medicaid and Medicare and operates as a for-profit LLC. It's considered a skilled nursing facility, not a full continuing care retirement community, so it mainly provides nursing home care and intermediate care for those needing daily medical attention, with an emphasis on helping people recover comfortably and giving them a place to live where there's supervision and support around the clock.
