Nestled in the charming village of Owego along the banks of the Susquehanna River, River View Rehabilitation and Nursing Care Center provides compassionate skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to residents of Tioga County and the surrounding Southern Tier region. Located at 510 Fifth Avenue, the center sits within easy reach of Owego's welcoming community, where tree-lined streets, a revitalized historic downtown, and the natural beauty of the river corridor create a deeply comforting setting for recovery and long-term care. Owego's small-town warmth is one of its greatest assets for seniors and their families.
