Highbridge Woodycrest Center

Highbridge Woodycrest Center, located at 936 Woodycrest Avenue in the Highbridge neighborhood of the South Bronx, is a skilled nursing facility operated by Highbridge Healthcare — a management organization with deep roots in the community it serves. The facility's mission reflects the character of Highbridge itself: resilient, community-focused, and committed to caring for neighbors who have long called this part of the Bronx home. The Woodycrest Avenue address sits within one of the borough's most historically layered neighborhoods. Highbridge Park, which runs along the Harlem River from West 155th Street northward into the Bronx, offers one of the area's most striking natural assets — including the High Bridge, New York City's oldest standing bridge and now a beloved pedestrian and cycling span connecting the Bronx to Washington Heights. The park's elevated terrain provides sweeping views of the Harlem River and Manhattan skyline, offering family visitors a memorable outdoor destination just steps from the facility. Yankee Stadium is a short distance south along the Major Deegan Expressway, and the surrounding Grand Concourse and Jerome Avenue corridors offer a full range of dining, shopping, and services familiar to generations of Bronx residents. Macombs Dam Park and Franz Sigel Park provide additional green space in the immediate area, reflecting the neighborhood's layered history and ongoing community investment. Lincoln Hospital on East 149th Street is among the closest major medical centers, offering emergency services and specialty care that supports smooth clinical transitions. The facility is also well-served by the 4 and D subway lines at 161st Street–Yankee Stadium, making it highly accessible for family members throughout the city. Highbridge Healthcare's community-grounded management model ensures that staff are invested in neighborhood outcomes and that residents receive care informed by genuine local knowledge and cultural familiarity.
