SHORT-TERM REHABILITATION

Our unique Rehab on the River is a comprehensive and interdisciplinary rehabilitation and post-acute program of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy that enables patients to achieve their maximum level of function and independence.  Our expert clinical staff, including physicians, nurses, dieticians and social workers, are trained specifically in care management and work closely with patients and families to enable patients to return home as soon as possible.  

POST-ACUTE CARE
Patients requiring complex medical care can greatly benefit from a stay at the Hebrew Home.  We provide specialized services including wound care, respiratory care, pain management, intravenous therapy and post surgical recovery and rehabilitation.

We provide therapy services 365 days a year and patients may receive up to two to three hours of therapy a day depending upon their medical condition.  In addition, The Hebrew Home at Riverdale is the only skilled nursing facility in the tri-state area that has a warm water pool utilized for aquatic therapy, which is beneficial for a variety of medical conditions.

We are unique in having a full time on-site medical staff available 24-hours a day to provide medical care to our patients.  In addition, we also have an on-site lab and on-site pharmacy enabling us to get test results and medications on the same day they are ordered.
