Live Fully today. Feel confident about tomorrow.

The best time to plan for the future isn’t when you need care. It’s when you’re free to enjoy everything life has to offer. At River’s Edge, you don’t have to choose between living well today and preparing for tomorrow. You can make New York City part of your everyday life, come home to views of the Hudson, and have the confidence of knowing you’ve already made a plan for whatever comes next. It’s a simpler, smarter way to plan ahead — one that lets you focus less on the “what ifs” and more on what’s happening now.

NYC’s first and Only Life Plan Community.

There are more than 2,000 Life Plan Communities across the country. River’s Edge is the first and only one in New York City. For longtime New Yorkers, that means you don’t have to leave the city you love to gain the advantages of a Life Plan. And for those who have always imagined making New York home, you don’t have to choose between the city you want and the future you’ve planned for.

Here, a 32-acre Hudson River campus in Riverdale and easy access to Manhattan come together with something remarkably difficult to find in an urban setting: a plan for the future already in place.

One decision.
Lasting Confidence.

One of the greatest benefits of choosing a Life Plan Community isn’t about health care. It’s about freedom. Freedom from wondering what happens if your needs change. Freedom from leaving important decisions for later. Freedom to focus on travel, family, friendships and the experiences that matter most, knowing you’ve already planned ahead. Make one thoughtful decision now, and spend more time enjoying what comes next.

Confidence that extends
beyond today.

No one can predict exactly what the future holds. But planning ahead can make it feel far less uncertain. River’s Edge offers contract options designed to provide greater financial predictability and help protect against the potentially significant costs of future care.

With Life Care, your monthly service fee is designed to remain essentially the same even if your level of care changes, subject to normal annual adjustments. That means greater clarity about what future care may cost, and fewer financial unknowns left for you or your family to navigate later.

Care that never takes you far from Home.

One of the greatest comforts of a Life Plan Community is knowing that if life changes, home doesn’t have to. Should you ever need additional support, you’ll have priority access to assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing on the connected RiverSpring Living campus through the Hebrew Home at Riverdale. That means remaining surrounded by familiar faces, trusted relationships and the community you’ve already come to know. For many couples, it also means staying together on the same campus, even if each person requires a different level of support. It’s continuity that’s difficult to measure but easy to appreciate.

Is River’s Edge right for You?

River’s Edge was created for people who aren’t looking for care today. They’re looking ahead while they’re active, independent and ready for what comes next. It’s for people who want New York City to remain—or become—part of their life. People who love to travel, learn, explore and meet interesting people. People who want to make their own decisions about the future rather than leave those decisions for someone else.

Choosing River’s Edge isn’t about preparing to need something. It’s about putting a plan in place so you can get on with living.
