My mother recently stayed at The Hebrew Home in Riverdale, NY for rehab after surgery to repair a…read morebroken hip. This is my mother's fourth stay here following various hospitalizations and surgical procedures. Each and every time, we have been so impressed with the care and compassion she has received from the dedicated staff. At 81 years old, having a broken hip is very discouraging to a patient. However, the staff provided just the right amount of empathy and encouragement to our mother to get her committed to the rehab program so that she could go home and live independently again. The good news is she just returned home and now she can use a walker and other adaptive devices in her home to take care of herself. The environment at The Hebrew Home is more than just a rehab facility. The staff over communicated and kept our family up-to-date on Mom's rehab plan and progress. Beyond the staff, the entire facility and grounds are beautiful and provide multiple areas for our family and our Mom to get a needed break from the rigors of rehab. We could take her to the living room to visit with us, outside to the patio to enjoy a sunny day or for a walk along the trail that led to a gazebo by the Hudson River We are eternally grateful to The Hebrew Home and the staff for making this possible. While she was at The Hebrew Home, Mom felt safe and cared for and when we visited we saw first hand the amazing care that she received. We want to share our positive experiences with this facility.

They refuse residents water even if they cannot walk. They refuse to turn on the lights in rooms even if they are bedridden. They will refuse to offer medical assistance even if the patient is bloody, vomiting, sweating profusely, covered in bruises, have broken bones, etc. Honestly, I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy. May everyone who works here experience a life full exactly what they put into their work.

This is a nice place. Not that I'm trying to say nursing homes are a good place to be in but if I…read morehad to go into a place, I hope it would be this place. I've been coming here for the pass 10 years visiting a relative and the nurses and guards are very nice. They try to make this place comfortable to be in and the people seem to like being there. Who wouldn't with happy hour on Fridays, trip to the malls, museums, the have acts come play for them, and they have dancing. I also love their reck room, its set up like a nice room with a skylight, flatscreen tv, and loads of board games. This place rocks! The downfall, are those people who don't have anyone visiting them and some who are just waiting for the reaper to show up. I don't know how anyone stay here permanent and not go insane looking at those who are leaving this earth soon. I can say that will be the time I would not like being in that place.

At this point I am not going to review the services offered by Hebrew Home. I am giving it 1 star…read morebased on the following. When your loved one is placed at Hebrew Home, whatever benefits your loved one is receiving goes to the nursing home (this is understandable). Hebrew Home will then place a $50.00 monthly allowance into a "personal account" for the resident for things such as haircuts, or for the purchase of other items/necessities that may be available through different vendors. BEWARE: In the event that your loved one passes away DO NOT attempt to claim any existing/leftover funds from your loved ones "personal account" directly from Hebrew Home. DO NOT tell Hebrew Home that the funeral has been fully paid for as they will send the funds from that "personal account" to the Public Administrator. Have the funeral home send an invoice to Hebrew Home and then have the funds distributed to you. When I tried to recover the funds from my loved ones "personal account", Hebrew Home told me that "by law" those funds had to be returned to The Office of The Public Administrator. Personally, I believe that "law" was designed to appropriate those funds. I now believe that this law was designed so that the city/county/municipality/state can stay with your loved ones money. Hebrew Home will never tell you this, but I will and I have. BEWARE....Where the law exists the trap or trick exists!!!

The CNA's are wonderful but there is a lack of communication between the nurses and patient. What they say they offer and what you get doesn't match. If you ring the bell they are slow to respond. If you fall out of bed at night you are SOL. The nurse Sheryl said Tylenol was an Nsaid. I questioned Sheryl's competency since she had to use Professor Google to find out Tylenol is an analgesic and not a Nsaid. And they have her giving out medication. The nurse Eric refused to give my sister a cancer patient pain medication. His reason was it wasn't documented that she was given any pain medication. I don't know whose chart he was reading. Nurse practitioner Diya and RN Anna sitting in the same office and will give you different information regarding the same patient. I questioned their lack of urgency when I told them my sister needed to go to ER for a blood transfusion when her hemoglobin was under 7. They want to repeat labs. First time her hemoglobin dropped, the tech from Northwell never showed up to repeat lab. When they finally sent my sister to the ER, her hemoglobin was 5.8. I requested certain blood work to be taken weekly and faxed to the oncologist. That was never done. The food is lacking. They give you a menu and they give you what you did not select. My sister can't eat corn. They gave her corn. She does't eat carrots, they gave her carrots. The dietician said you cant have Raisin Bran because of the Phosphorus and they would give her Raisin Bran Cereal. The dietician said you need protein since you are on dialysis. Her lunch one day was peas, carrots and bread. I had to ask where was the protein. Candace said you have use their medical supplies because they would order it. They sporadically provided supplies. I had to make sure my sister had her own medical supplies. The nurse cut her with scissors while changing her bandage because she wanted to dress the wound her way instead of listening to how we change the dressing. Anna said my sister didnt look like she was pain because she was looking at her phone. When you go for dialysis, you take a notebook with you that the dialysis center onsite is suppose to update. When you return from dialysis you give the notebook to the nurse. NO ONE reads it. Novi and Grace said that Rogisin the dialysis center doesnt update Methodist with the results of any blood work they do. Candace told me the opposite and Rogisin updates the notebook. From what I saw, the nurses don't read it. We finally decided not to send my sister back there after she was hospitalized a 3rd time. Her hemoglobin was 4 when she finally went to the ER because no tech showed up take her blood. We felt that under their care my sister would DECLINE OR DIE. Two weeks after she came home, Rachel from the dialysis center called me to see how she was doing. They didnt know my sister refused to go back there and came home. I found that strange because Miguel and Elizabeth from Methodist knew my sister refused to return. But again, there is a lack of communication amongst them. Yesterday, I received a certified letter from them with a NOTICE OF DISCHARGE/TRANSFER with inaccurate info. It should have said patient no longer felt safe with the lack of care. Since my sister is home and doing outpatient dialysis elsewhere, her numbers are monitored. The new dialysis center communicate with my sister and her doctors. I haven't had any issues with her new treatment plan at the new place.
