The Riverside Premier Rehabilitation and Healing Center sits at 150 Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side of New York City, and it's been open since November 6, 2012. This place mainly helps older adults needing short-term or long-term nursing care, and serves people who need help with daily living after an illness, surgery, or injury. The focus here is really on rehabilitation, healing, and making life easier for residents, so you'll see they've got a comprehensive rehabilitation program, including unique spaces built for recovery, and specialized services for orthopedic needs, amputee care, and cancer rehabilitation.
The Center delivers skilled nursing care around the clock, and has a dedicated staff who handle both high-acuity cases and regular daily support. Residents receive post-surgical care, palliative support, and respiratory services. Meals are planned by nutritionists and made by chefs, with some special dining experiences thanks to a partnership with Celebrity Chef Anne Burrell, and they put an emphasis on nutrition and variety. You'll see laundry, housekeeping, and concierge services offered every day, and if someone needs rides, there's even a chauffeur program to help people get where they need to go.
Community spaces exist both inside and outside the building, so visitors and residents can meet and enjoy time together. The Center holds recreation and wellness programs, including Urban Zen wellness features to encourage relaxation, and they make an effort to give each resident programs that fit their own needs. Services are both cutting-edge and personal. The building itself looks and feels like a luxury facility, reflecting its Manhattan location-suites are upscale and amenities go beyond what's common in senior communities, stretching to things like fine dining and specialized therapies.
The Riverside Premier Rehabilitation and Healing Center holds an "A+" rating from the Better Business Bureau, although it isn't BBB accredited, and the Center has earned recognition as one of Manhattan's top nursing homes by the U.S. News and World Report. They've got a clear policy of non-discrimination and are run as part of CareRite Centers. They aim to raise their residents' lifestyle and well-being, providing rehabilitation and healing in an environment that strives for a five-star experience but keeps the focus on clear, high quality care each day.
