Meet Esplanade Manhattan's Staff

The Eplanade Manhattan is proud to be part of a family owned tradition in senior care for over fifty years.  No matter what our residents need or when they need it, our dedicated and caring staff can help.

About the Staff

The Scharf family created The Esplanade Manhattan with a specific vision in mind. They wanted to provide a beautiful home-like atmosphere for their residents with every possible amenity to allow seniors to age in a place with dignity and comfort.

The Scharf family is the third generation of her family to continue in their outstanding tradition of providing comprehensive and quality care to seniors. The Scharf family have built The Esplanade Manhattan in the hopes of setting the highest standard in senior living in New York, NY. Their personal involvement and hands on approach imbue The Esplanade Manhattan with a warm and welcoming environment.

Their philosophy focuses on the importance of taking a positive approach to senior living.  "By taking away the stress of household management, combined with a bright and social atmosphere, we feel we have eased the aging process for so many seniors," states Mrs. Diamond. She also says, "By adding health care services, a full recreation program and many other amenities, seniors are able to continue building a full life into their later years."
