Memory Care Community in Riverdale, New York

Worried son

My mom was in this facility. They appear to be under staffed. The food was not edible and the nurses do not answer the call button.

My mother has been a resident of Atria Riverdale since August. The staff is very accommodating, everything from meal planning, trying to work with the Covid restriction, and getting treatment. They have all been very communicative, and the staff is very gracious and warm. I have been inside a couple of times, and it was very clean and neat. Generally, the food is good. They try to modify the activities that they would normally have because of the restrictions. They are also very good about communicating health issues. They are delivering food to the room. The rooms are anything from studio to a large 1-bedroom. They have everything from music events, movies, outings, creative activities like art, games and such. They also have transportation. They will transport anything within 8 miles radius. I haven't really seen things too much because of the current situation, but they have all of those things, and I'm sure there are others. They have a courtyard and a small library. They also have a visiting podiatrist. My mom is very picky, but she has been enjoying it. There's a base price for your rent and the services that are standard, and then there's extra for medical and for additional help.

My husband is a resident at Schervier Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. They told me about plans for his rehab and such, I talked to the physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, and all these people. The staff members were very friendly to me and caring about his needs; they have been good to him. He has a nice room, he has a TV, there's a window, and there's a nice floral thing in the background, so it's kind of pretty. The recreation therapist came in and explained things that he could handle; she introduced herself at least. She said that if I want to take him outside they have patios and an old backyard kind of thing. The grounds are nice in nicer weather. In terms of value for the money, the insurance is covering the cost.
