Adira At Riverside Rehabilitation And Nursing sits at 120 Odell Avenue in Yonkers, New York, right in Westchester County, and you'll find it sharing its campus with St. John's Riverside Hospital, which is a handy thing if you ever need quick hospital services, and the place itself has 120 certified beds and usually has about 109 people staying there each day, which is a pretty full house most of the time. The facility works as a for-profit partnership, owned by Allen Stein and Lazer Strulovitch each at 43%, with Leopold Schwimmer holding the other 14%, and for the actual management, Ephraim Fischbein has been in charge since December 2024, Joseph Nsheiwat since March 2023, and Allen Stein going back to May 2014, so you've got some consistency there across the leadership, and the main contact right now is Eric Fischbein, and the director is Joseph Nshiewat, M.D.
They've got certified nursing services and keep licensed nursing staff around, giving a reported 4.67 hours of nurse staffing for each resident every day, but there's a nurse turnover rate of 24.5%, which says people come and go a bit more than you might hope, though that's nursing in a nutshell sometimes, and their records show they've had inspection reports that've pointed out some deficiencies, especially with infection control and in caring for or preventing pressure ulcers, so they do have some challenges to keep up with over time, like making sure proper pressure ulcer care is given and that new ulcers don't come up. The facility offers both private rooms at $595 a day and semi-private ones at $495, and they accept Medicare, Medicaid, workers' comp, no fault insurance, and most big insurance plans, so paying might be manageable for a lot of people.
Adira specializes in both rehabilitation services and nursing care, with a strong focus on recovery and safety, and while there are the typical medical requirements and on-site nurse and physician services, what stands out here is the range of care-they've got a 5-star CMS-rated rehabilitation program, which is recognized as one of the best in the area, plus dedicated care programs and special features tailored to different needs, and they even offer a full 1:1 ratio of certified therapists to patients in their rehab program, so each person gets direct attention. They're the only long-term care facility in the area with certified ventilator care, meaning they've got bedside respiratory ventilators and offer expert pulmonary rehab, which is a rare thing for a nursing facility around here.
Adira's building is known for feeling a lot more like an upscale spa or hotel, with luxurious, comfortable rooms and facilities that overlook the scenic Hudson River Valley, and though you're never far from the city with Manhattan nearby, it feels pretty peaceful, and there are plenty of amenities and recreation choices aimed at helping people feel fulfilled, involved, and part of a community. You'll see all kinds of specialized care, like glucose and COVID-19 antigen tests done right on-site, and they work under a waiver certificate type if you like details like that. While the place prides itself on a therapeutic, resort-like environment-complete with a variety of luxury touches-it does keep a big focus on holistic care, addressing mind, body, and spirit for each resident, and you do get clinical care in a setup that's meant to feel comforting and healing, though the existence of past deficiencies in some care areas shows there's always a need for continued focus and improvement.
