Located on a sprawling, scenic 32-acre campus overlooking the Hudson River, RiverSpring Living offers a range of living options designed to meet each individual’s current needs, while providing peace of mind for the future as needs change over time.

As a nationally recognized, multifaceted, not-for-profit institution with a work force of 1,600, RiverSpring Living tests boundaries, challenges assumptions, and creates new pathways to serve more people in more ways while continually raising the bar of quality care.

More than offering a wide range of housing and care options, RiverSpring Living inspires arts and cultural offerings as well as access to valuable services supporting elder justice and well-being.

RiverSpring Living is proud to be affiliated with two leading hospital systems in the region, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and Montefiore Einstein, to help ensure a seamless transition of care between hospitalization, home, rehabilitation, long-term care, and other supportive services.

RiverSpring Living’s goal is to provide care in a warm, homelike environment, in a manner which preserves and enhances independence and dignity where older adults can live, learn, and flourish. For more information, please visit riverspringliving.org.
