Park Gardens Rehabilitation & Nursing Center

Park Gardens Rehabilitation & Nursing Center sits right in Riverdale, NY, where it helps folks with rehab and nursing care in a pretty straightforward way, being part of a bigger Continuing Care Retirement Community so people can stay as their needs change, and, well, they do have both long-term nursing care and short-term rehab for those coming out of the hospital, plus 200 certified beds, though about 17 were open in June 2025, and there's usually 183 residents each day. The staff helps with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and moving around, and they offer medication management, skilled wound care, IV therapy, and a good range of medical services including dentistry, psychology, and ophthalmology, while the nurse staffing runs about 2.99 hours per resident each day and they've got care coverage all day and night, though the nurse turnover rate is up at 22.6%, which can mean some different faces over time. The center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, has bilingual caregivers (but mostly speaks English), and they offer a steady list of activities-movie nights, music, fitness and wellness programs, a game room, library, garden walkways, and resident-run groups-trying to keep things lively. Residents and families can join organized councils if they want a say in how things go, and you'll find an emergency system and supervising staff round-the-clock. There are some things worth noting, like deficiencies found in reports for not always making complete care plans or meeting new residents' needs right away, and inspectors have noted issues with protecting belongings and infection control, though no actual harm reported with those items, and the inspection process does keep the attention on these matters. The place makes therapy programs to fit individual needs, and tries to create a warm, home-like setting, with visits welcome daily from 10:30 in the morning to 8:30 at night, so family can be part of everyday life whenever possible. You'll find public transportation nearby, and if you need the home health services, those run from 8:30 to 4:30 and are right at 6677 Broadway. Park Gardens does aim to offer a real range of restorative therapies for people with different needs, and while they do their best to provide for folks in their care, they've got some areas needing attention too, which is really something to consider.
