Riverside Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing

Riverside Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing sits on Main Street in Castleton On Hudson, New York, right across from the Hudson River, which gives residents nice, scenic views throughout the year and a place to relax, and when talking about care, Riverside Center has different care levels, including nursing care, Alzheimer's and dementia programs, and respite or short-term stays, really making it a spot where folks at different points in their aging journey can get support. You'll always find registered nurses and certified nursing assistants on the floor, along with on-site nurse practitioners, and a team of doctors runs the medical side for each unit, so medical needs don't go unnoticed, and this hands-on approach covers things like wound care, stroke and amputee recovery, tracheotomy care, palliative care, dental care, cardiac therapy, and more advanced services, so people with unique situations or major health issues can still feel comfortable staying here. Riverside Center's layout is modern and features amenities that help make long stays easier, and they try to keep things feeling home-like, with comfortable rooms, restaurant-style dining, recreation areas, and chances for residents to get involved in decisions about their meals or activities, and that's a big focus; getting residents and their families involved in daily choices and care plans, whether it's about therapy, healthcare, or just what they want to eat or do for fun. Specialized therapy services, like physical, speech, and occupational therapy, help support those recovering from surgery or illness, and the facility also offers inpatient rehabilitation and hospice, along with outpatient lab and x-ray services if needed. Social services are on hand to check in with residents' emotional and social needs too. The place has a history of focusing on personalized care plans, and while Riverside Center's staff aims for high-quality care in a supportive environment, it's important to notice the quality ratings-CMS gives an overall 1-Star rating, and past inspection scores range from F to B, which shows care here hasn't always been perfect, with recent flags for abuse and a B-minus inspection grade, so families should think about that as they decide, but on the other hand, the place stays nearly full with about 96% occupancy and does have a local reputation for handling both short-term rehab and Alzheimer's care. Residents are invited to join the council, though there isn't a family council. Riverside Center accepts Medicare and Medicaid and is set up as a for-profit limited liability company. People can visit for a tour to see the grounds, meet staff, or ask questions about care routines, meal choices, schedules, therapy plans, and daily life at Riverside Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing.
