About the Staff

Susan Scharf Diamond and her husband, Dr. David Diamond, created The Esplanade at Palisades 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.

Susan Diamond is the third generation of her family to continue in their outstanding tradition of providing comprehensive and quality care to seniors. She and her husband David, a renowned physician, have built The Esplanade at Palisades in the hopes of setting the highest standard in senior living in Palisades, NY. Their personal involvement and hands on approach imbue The Esplanade at Palisades 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."
