An Introduction to the Home

The Old People's Home of the Russian Orthodox Convent, “Novo-Diveyevo”, was founded in 1972 by Archbishop Andrei of Rockland to provide care of the elderly persons of Slavic background, who due to the lack of proper knowledge of English language, would feel isolated in an environment of an English speaking adult home.

The 76-bed facility, nestled on over 50 acres of grounds of the Convent, is located in the town of Clarkstown and the hamlet of Nanuet, near the village of Spring Valley in New York's Rockland County. The Home provides each resident with a private, furnished room, complete with a bed, dresser, desk, two chairs, night table, lamp, draperies, and a wall closet. New residents may bring their own furniture if they wish. TV, radio, small refrigerator, and telephone are permitted in the rooms. The Convent grounds offer an ideal opportunity for walks in the fresh country air amidst natural beauty.
