Sample Menu
The Methodist Home offers the perfect combination of hotel-like living (exclusively private rooms and baths), daily activities, on-site amenities, safety and security. In addition, the residence features dedicated short-term and long-term sections with supportive care based on the specific needs of each individual.
Those who come to stay here may enter through our doors as clients, but they are quickly transformed into unique individuals who are part of a vibrant caring community.
A smaller community
The Methodist Home residence is tailored to serve a smaller community of people with highly individualized care, versus larger facilities that often contain 200 “beds” or more (versus our 120 private rooms). Everyone here becomes acquainted faster. Our staff to resident ratio is naturally smaller as well.
We love to show people around.

Our location:
The Methodist Home is situated in the exclusive Fieldston section of Riverdale, New York. Easily accessible from Manhattan, the Bronx or Westchester, Fieldston is also home to two prestigious private co-ed Independent Schools: The Horace Mann School, and the Ethical Culture Fieldston School. The neighborhood, which is one of the few areas in New York City to be completely privately owned, has kept its turn-of-the century upper middle class ambiance intact, retaining many of its original historic mansions and beautifully landscaped streets and properties.
