Rebekah Residences to offer a
new way of senior living
BY PATRICK ROCCHIO
Rebekah Residences, a 100
percent Medicaid enriched
housing/assisted living facility
at 1050 Havermeyer Avenue
should be completed by
this summer at the Rebekah
Rehab and Extended Care in
Castle Hill.
Unlike other assisted living
facilities, this new 56-
unit building will be one of
the fi rst to accept Medicaid,
said Kenneth Gelb, the organization’s
CEO.
This is an important step
for the organization that will
let it accommodate all kinds
of people requiring services
from the borough community,
he said.
“We wanted to have a
program that would be able
to support those that are unable
to live at home independently,
but those who do not
necessarily need a nursing
home,” said Gelb.
Rebekah Rehab submitted
an application to the NYS
Department of Health to create
a project, known as ALP,
for those who qualify for
Medicaid.
DOH provided a $6.5 million
grant for the project,
which cost approximately
$16.25 million.
The Rebekah Residences
project got underway in January
2018, said Gelb.
Units like those at the ALP
enriched housing are beginning
to fi ll a crucial void in
elder care programming for
the Medicaid eligible, with
Gelb telling the Bronx Times
that New York state is starting
to develop programs that
include Medicaid enriched
housing.
Currently, Gelb estimates
there are only a handful of
such units in the borough, he
said.
“I would think as the baby
boomers are aging there is
going to be a signifi cant need
for this kind of model,” said
Gelb, adding it is a way that
older people can age in place.
ALP is based on a supportive
residential model
that suits the senior’s housing
needs, both fostering independence
and providing
support when needed.
The units in the new 48,000
square foot building will feature
handicapped accessible
bathrooms and kitchenettes
with microwaves.
“They are all self-contained
studio apartments,”
said Gelb.
The building contains
common areas including
lounges and a dining room
where meals will be served.
The services offered to
the residents will include
meals, housekeeping, personal
care, recreation and
activities.
Individual plans of
care will be developed that
should help foster the conditions
that lead to physical,
social and mental wellness,
with physicians visiting the
building regularly.
Those living at the new
building will also have the
opportunity to participate in
the programs that are open
to all of the residents on Rebekah
Rehab’s campus, like
an intergenerational program
and senior centers.
Gelb said that he foresees
most of the residents of the
new building being over 65.
Those who are interested
in Rebekah Residences
should contact Catherine
Cieri and fi nd out more
about the program, said
Gelb.
