St. Vincent de Paul Residence is a 200-bed residential healthcare facility designed to meet the special needs of elderly members of New York’s Latino communities.

Since opening in 1992, it has become a cornerstone in the rebirth of its Bronx neighborhood. The six-story Mediterranean style building is connected to a private garden that offers a pleasant setting for family visits, and the culture of the Residence, its bilingual staff, ethnic food and special events all reflect the influence of its surrounding community.

Those in need of short-term rehabilitation when transitioning from hospital to home find a complete staff of certified and highly-qualified physical, occupational, and speech therapists at the Residence. A special unit opened in 2006 that is dedicated to serving those needing intensive rehabilitative services for a short period before returning to their homes. Recreation and social activities are an essential part of daily life here and these programs are tailored for both large and small groups, and when required, for individual needs.

The Adult Day Health Care Program serves elderly residents who need assistance in maintaining their independence and connection to the community and who would otherwise be home alone. Transportation to and from the Residence is provided, and participants receive nutritious meals and a variety of rehabilitative services. Most importantly, they take an active role in a full schedule of social activities that serve to prevent isolation and disconnection.
