Nursing home gets renovations
Riverdale facility undergoes multimillion dollar improvements
BY JASON COHEN
A year ago, Methodist
Home for Nursing
and Rehabilitation
in Riverdale began a
multimillion dollar,
full-scale renovation of
its facility. While work
stopped during the
height of COVID-19, it
restarted in October.
According to Maria
Perez, CEO and administrator,
the goal
is to give the building
a complete facelift
and make it more attractive.
Every resident
has a private
room with a bathroom
and all of these will
be upgraded.
There will also be a
new café and a dialysis
center that will serve
16 patients.
“I’m so proud that
our team at the Methodist
Home has always
been state-of-the-art in
terms of patient care,”
Perez said. “And now,
with this renovation,
our physical facility
matches that same
level of excellence.”
Established in 1929
at 4499 Manhattan College
Pkwy., the threefl
oor facility offers
care for short-term rehabilitation
patients
needing therapy or
nursing services after
surgery or illness and
long-term care.
The facility also
provides outpatient
therapy services such
as physical therapy,
speech therapy and a
stroke program.
The Methodist
Home was one of the
fi rst nursing homes in
New York to meet all
Health Department
criteria to restart visitation
after the surge
of COVID-19 cases in
New York declined.
Renovations are expected
to be complete
in early 2021. Methodist Home for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Riverdale. Photos courtesy of Methodist Home for Nursing and Rehabilitation

If funeral homes were all the same,
Ours wouldn’t be the family choice
The families of our community so often choose our funeral home. Some come to us to pre-plan
arrangements because we offer all the options and choices they desire. Others come to us at their
time of need seeking guidance, support and the certainty of a funeral service that is correct in
every way. Should your family fi nd itself in need of our services, we hope you’ll make the choice so
many in our community have.
