What RiverSpring Living does

RiverSpring Living is a New York-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating a full continuum of senior care services from a 32-acre riverfront campus in Riverdale, Bronx. Founded in 1917 as The Hebrew Home at Riverdale, the organization serves older adults across multiple care levels including independent living (RiverWalk, starting at $4,700/month), assisted living (with Medicaid options), memory care (Montage program), skilled nursing (Hebrew Home at Riverdale, CMS 5-Star rated), short-term rehabilitation (Hauser Center, 24% lower hospital readmissions than national average), in-home care (LHCSA and CHHA agencies serving Bronx/Manhattan/Westchester), hospice and palliative care (Passages), and supportive housing (three HUD/ESSHI-partnered communities totaling ~345 units in the Bronx). The organization also operates ancillary programs including the Weinberg Center for Elder Justice, Golden Dreams wish fulfillment, Derfner Judaica Museum, and Cupid Senior Squad.

The organization has invested heavily in a senior care technology stack integrating AI and emerging technologies across its operations: the Meela AI voice companion (validated in a 20-resident pilot showing reduced anxiety/depression), VST Balance computer-vision fall prediction, Rendever VR and SingFit music AI for memory care, Armeo-Power robotic rehabilitation, ZeroG body-weight-supported gait training, C-Mill VR biofeedback, wearable Reds Vest health monitoring, telemedicine, and a Rapid Response Call Bell System that reduces response times by over 50%. Revenue derives from recurring monthly resident fees across all care levels, Medicare/Medicaid/private pay reimbursements for skilled nursing and rehabilitation, HUD supportive housing subsidies, and nonprofit grants/donations.

RiverSpring recently secured $632.925 million in tax-exempt bond financing (the largest senior living bond deal ever) to develop River's Edge, an 11-story, 260-unit Life Plan Community on its existing campus — set to become New York City's first and only Life Plan Community when it opens in December 2028. The organization employs between 1,001-5,000 staff and is led by 41-year veteran President & CEO David V. Pomeranz, with an executive team featuring deep tenure across operations, clinical care, finance (CFO Steven Meisinger joined Oct 2025 from Montefiore Health System), communications, and IT (CIO David Finkelstein, HIMSS Fellow and LeadingAge CAST Commissioner). Key strategic partners include NewYork-Presbyterian (clinical integration), HUD and ESSHI (supportive housing), Blue Zones and CaringKind (wellness), and tech vendors including Meela, Rendever, SingFit, and Bain Capital Ventures portfolio companies.
