27 Sep Luxury Redefined: Meet the First 62+ Life Plan Community in New York City

‘Community’ is the bedrock of any thriving society. By definition, ‘community’ is a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common. It could be your block, your neighborhood, your school, your town…the list goes on. But as you enter your 60s and the course of life begins to shift to those proverbial golden years, what does ‘community’ mean then? 

As people enter this new stage of life, they often begin to wonder: where do I belong? You crave excitement, but seek stability. You’re primed and ready to discover new interests, but understand your needs could change in an instant. You’ve spent your whole life financially planning for the future, but want to ensure you’re covered during this next chapter. 

At River’s Edge, we understand those needs and concerns. And that’s exactly why we sought to establish the preeminent 62+ community for active and independent adults in New York City. 

River’s Edge: the first of its kind 

Located in New York City on the banks of the Hudson River, River’s Edge is NYC’s very first luxury, 62 and over Life Plan Community. It’s a place where active adults do more than just live comfortably and enjoy peace of mind for the future – our community members thrive thanks to a built-in social network where they’re encouraged to discover untapped passions, continue their favorite hobbies, and indulge in all the vibrancy and culture New York City has to offer. 

From warm summer nights spent by the river to cozy winter mornings best enjoyed with a cup of hot coffee, River’s Edge is truly a home for all four seasons. We ensure you do so much more than just live life…it’s our promise that you live life to the edge. 

Why choosing a 62 and over community aligns with your lifestyle 

At River’s Edge, it’s our calling to do more than just offer residents all the benefits of a thriving, maintenance-free community on our comprehensively designed riverfront campus. Our Life Plan Community meets you where you are on life’s journey, and provides peace of mind to all residents – should your needs change, our Life Care Plan includes services for Assisted Living, Memory Care, Rehabilitation, and Skilled Nursing. 

Here you have the opportunity to enjoy independent senior living in our elegant one and two bedroom apartment homes with a built-in social community where you can determine your level of engagement. And if your health changes, a variety of healthcare options are available on the same campus at the same predictable monthly fee – allowing you to live comfortably while ensuring peace of mind for any future needs. 

Why a Life Plan Community is a financially sound choice 

If you have long-term care insurance, you might be wondering what the financial benefits are of living at River’s Edge. Most long-term care insurance policies cover a fraction of the cost of long-term care. A long-term care policy paired with our Life Care Plan can offer maximum protection against rising future care costs. Additionally, long-term care insurance doesn’t help in sourcing high-quality caregivers or ensuring priority access to a top-tier network of professionals in assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing or rehabilitation services – all things that River’s Edge provides. 

For those who do not have long-term care insurance, our Life Care Plan provides a great alternative. It gives you priority access to a full continuum of care from one of the nation’s most trusted organizations and keeps your monthly living expenses predictably the same, no matter the level of care you require. For couples, there may come a time when one partner benefits from care while the other does not. Should you face that circumstance, you would both remain on the same 32-acre campus at River’s Edge. And should you choose our Life Care option, you will continue paying your normal monthly fee without a price increase for assisted living or nursing care. 

And to provide incremental financial value to our 62+ community residents, the IRS recognizes a portion of the non-refundable component of the entrance fee, as well as a percentage of the monthly fee as pre-paid medical expenses. River’s Edge will provide annual statements for your tax consultant’s use. 

The ease of independent living, connected to the comfort of community 

Nestled on the shores of the tranquil Hudson River, our campus offers only the finest amenities to our community of active adults. These amenities include: 

• World-class dining featuring chef-crafted meals using locally sourced ingredients 
• Dynamically designed social spaces that encourage active conversation and community 
• First-rate housekeeping and concierge services 
• Expertly curated programs that encourage a healthy, active mind and body 
• 24-hour security for peace of mind 
• Fitness class offerings, including yoga, aerobics, tai chi, barre, strength training, water aerobics, and balance 
• Tennis and pickleball courts 
• An innovative aquatic center that features a luxurious saltwater pool, hot tub, sauna, and steam room 

But our offerings and lifestyle benefits extend far beyond the walls of our over 62 community of the River’s Edge campus. We offer a robust and sophisticated menu of programs and events that fortify and augment the social network of our active adults, bringing unique voices, performances, and opportunities in the arts and culture directly to you. 

We also offer opportunities for personal growth with the following partners: 

• Continue your education through the University of Mount Saint Vincent by auditing classes with the young scholars of today – but with no tuition, tests to take, or papers to write. We’ll even drive you to and from class! 
• Take in a breathtaking and exceptional musical performance at the world-renowned Carnegie Hall. 
• Visit a garden of wonder and view the gorgeous flora and fauna of Wave Hill. 
• Peruse groundbreaking exhibits, outstanding collections, and exceptional films at New York City’s first museum, the New York Historical Society.
