Residents of The W Assisted Living celebrate Earth Day by cleaning up their neighborhood and planting gardens. Community engagement and purpose for elderly residents.
The W Assisted Living at Riverdale Home for Adults is interfering with the rights of its roughly 250 residents to communicate confidentially with outside community groups that are trying to help them, according to a complaint filed with the New York State Department of Health.
Judging by the resistance and protests by many greater Riverdale residents to the proposed men’s homeless shelter on Broadway and claims the Overlook Manhattan College dorm may become another shelter, it would seem such people are not welcome here. And that’s a shame.
The W Assisted Living at Riverdale Home for Adults has been a mainstay in North Riverdale for nearly 40 years. But an open-door policy that allows its more than 250 residents to come and go at all hours of the day and night has had an impact on local businesses.
