RiverSpring Living Opens State-of-the-Art Hauser Rehabilitation Center in Collaboration with NewYork-Presbyterian

RiverSpring Living, a leading non-profit provider of health services for older adults, proudly announces the grand opening of its new state-of-the-art Hauser Rehabilitation Center, a unique collaboration with NewYork-Presbyterian, made possible through generous support from Rita Hauser, an international lawyer known for her public service and philanthropy.

Built to transform the recovery experience, the facility features cutting-edge technology and personalized care aimed at helping patients achieve better outcomes and return home faster. The 36,000 square-foot, 79-bed center is designed with a focus on delivering an exceptional patient experience, with room service and cook-to-order meals, a business center, and a café serving spa-inspired cuisine. It is located on RiverSpring's sprawling 32-acre waterfront campus along the Hudson River, and housed within its 5-Star nursing home, the Hebrew Home at Riverdale, which is ranked in the top one percent in the country for hospital readmission prevention.

"The Hauser Rehabilitation Center represents the future of post-acute care," said David V. Pomeranz, President & CEO of RiverSpring Living. "Thanks to the generosity of Rita Hauser, and in partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian, we are combining innovative rehabilitation technology with unparalleled clinical expertise to restore both health and independence."

The Hauser Rehabilitation Center is equipped with advanced rehabilitation technologies including:

• Telemedicine that will be utilized to maintain a strong connection with the transferring doctors from NewYork-Presbyterian and facilitate follow-up virtual appointments with surgeons and specialists.
• Robotic-assisted therapy devices to achieve strength, balance and mobility earlier in a patient's recovery.
• Advanced use of artificial intelligence, machine vision and biofeedback in fall prevention programs, respiratory rehabilitation and speech and swallowing recovery.
• Immersive virtual reality to maximize the resident experience throughout the rehab stay, and in preparation for one's return home.
• SmartHeart EKG, ReDS Vest and Vein Finder medical innovations that support industry-leading clinical pathways through advanced diagnostic and proactive care.

RiverSpring Living and NewYork-Presbyterian's collaboration provides a seamless, hospital-to-rehab patient experience, including:

• On-campus NewYork-Presbyterian clinicians five days a week who work side-by-side with RiverSpring's nurses, physical, occupational, and speech therapists for a personalized, holistic care team approach.
• Electronic medical record integration for improved care transitions and reduced duplication of medical care and services.

"The Hauser Rehabilitation Center will transform how recovery care is delivered," said Dr. Steven J. Corwin, President and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian. "We are delighted to partner with RiverSpring Living and grateful for Rita Hauser's support in creating this new center, where our leading experts will leverage the latest technologies to help patients recover faster and improve their quality of life."

"The Hauser Rehabilitation Center's advanced technology and patient-centered approach will set a new standard for recovery," said Hauser. "I am proud to support RiverSpring Living in creating a center that blends compassion with innovation, where recovery is accelerated, independence is restored, and the dignity of every patient is honored."
