On August 2, 2026. We visited our very dear friend at the Hebrew home at Riverdale, New York From the moment we approached the gates, the security guard was a lovely woman who greeted us warmly. We have visited our friends several times we come from Long Island, New York he is 98 years old And in good health, we sat outside facing the water. It was lovely other visitors as well Sat outside with their loved ones. Prior to leaving after several hours, we went to our friends room and found his room very nice! . The nurses on the floor were very sweet . Everyone had a smile and made us feel very welcomed. Our very dear friend Mr. Kahn was so happy to see us and we were as well. The Hebrew home at Riverdale is very nice and the staff is excellent! thank you for taking care of Lenny Khan and welcoming us with smiles.! Pauline from Long Island New York

Facility is very clean, excellent room housekeeping, room furnishings look new and maintained well. Rehab equipment and staff are excellent. Care staff nurses, aides, on staff doctor are horrible, not compassionate, difficult to communicate with. Doctor does not return calls in a timely manner. I should have considered the reviews. I do not recommend this facility my mother was not treated with care or compassion.
