Riverside Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing

Riverside Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing occupies a meaningful position in the Hudson Valley—situated in the charming village of Castleton-on-Hudson, Rensselaer County, with the beauty of the Hudson River as a backdrop to daily life for residents and staff alike. Managed by Upstate Services Group, Riverside Center brings experienced regional oversight to a facility that serves both short-term rehabilitation patients and individuals requiring long-term skilled nursing support. Castleton-on-Hudson is a small, picturesque village that sits along the river in the town of Schodack, roughly 15 miles south of Albany. Its setting is genuinely beautiful—the Hudson River waterfront, nearby Schodack Island State Park with its wetlands and hiking trails, and the gentle hills of the surrounding countryside create an environment that is calming and restorative, qualities that matter deeply in a care setting. Families driving from Albany or the Capital Region will find the commute straightforward along Route 9J, making regular visits easy and sustainable. For healthcare continuity, Albany Medical Center—one of the region's preeminent academic medical centers—is accessible within 20 to 25 miles. Columbia Memorial Hospital in Hudson, New York, approximately 15 miles to the south, provides additional emergency and specialist resources for residents. Upstate Services Group coordinates with these facilities to ensure that transitions of care are smooth and that residents' medical records and care plans transfer seamlessly. The community's dining and lifestyle scene, while small in scale, is enriched by proximity to both Albany's cultural and culinary life to the north and the Hudson dining and arts scene to the south. Hudson has emerged as one of New York's most vibrant small cities, with renowned restaurants, galleries, and year-round events that families can enjoy before or after visiting. Riverside Center offers a setting that is both medically capable and genuinely pleasant to be part of.
