Rebekah Rehab and Extended Care Center

Rebekah Rehab and Extended Care Center is a nonprofit skilled nursing facility serving the residents of the Bronx from its location at 1072 Havemeyer Avenue in the Unionport and Castle Hill neighborhoods of the East Bronx. As a nonprofit corporation, Rebekah brings a mission-driven philosophy to every aspect of care—prioritizing the well-being of residents over profit margins and reinvesting in services, staffing, and the quality of the care environment. The facility's East Bronx location places it in a neighborhood rich with community character and cultural diversity. The nearby Bronx River, which winds through the eastern portions of the borough, provides a natural landmark and greenway that local families have long cherished. Soundview Park and Pugsley Creek Park offer accessible green space for walking and family visits, while the East Tremont and Westchester Heights commercial corridors provide dining, shopping, and everyday services within easy reach. For families concerned about medical proximity, Jacobi Medical Center—a major Level I trauma and academic medical center operated by NYC Health + Hospitals—is located a few miles north along Pelham Parkway, and Lincoln Medical Center is accessible to the south. This dual access to major public hospital systems is particularly valuable for residents managing complex or chronic medical conditions. Public transit access is strong in this part of the Bronx, with the 6 train at Westchester Square and multiple bus lines including the Bx4 and Bx36 serving the area, making visits practical for families who rely on mass transit. As a nonprofit extended care provider, Rebekah Rehab is committed to equitable access to quality skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. Staff are dedicated to treating each resident with dignity, fostering meaningful relationships, and supporting families through what can be one of life's most challenging transitions.
