Riverdale Nursing Home
641 WEST 230TH ST, Bronx, NY, 10463
The Bronx is a large borough in New York with a population of 1.4 million, of which 13.3% are older adults aged 65 or over. The Bronx is a good place for seniors to live as it’s home to highly-rated hospitals such as the Montefiore Medical Center, and also has several senior centers and other facilities managed by Riverdale Senior Services.
Some seniors find that their health and mobility decline as they get older. Those with serious medical conditions may require nursing home care to maintain a good quality of life. Nursing home care costs an average of $11,771 per month in this area of the state. This is far higher than the national average of $7,756 per month but slightly more affordable than the state average. Seniors who are generally mobile and who do not require round-the-clock medical attention may find other forms of care such as assisted living or in-home care more suitable and also more affordable since it’s typically half the price of nursing home care.
This guide covers the cost of nursing home care in the Bronx, as well as looking at other types of care and free resources available to seniors in the area.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Seniors who will eventually need nursing home care may safely stay in their homes in the meantime with the help of free or low-cost services. Below are some of the resources available to families and residents in the Bronx to make this process easier.
