Riverview House sits over on 3 Riverview Lane in Addison, ME, and offers a spot for folks who need different kinds of care, so you've got independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and home care, all in one place, which means you'll see seniors who can still do plenty for themselves and others who need more help getting around or remembering things, and you'll notice that the staff is around twenty-four hours a day to help with bathing, getting dressed, transfers, medication, and anything that pops up, so folks don't have to worry about being alone or not having help if they need it. The place gives choices for living spaces, like studios, one-bedrooms, private and semi-private rooms, and even shared quarters if you'd rather have a roommate, and all these rooms come furnished, with telephones, safety features, and emergency alert systems, so there's no trouble if someone needs quick help. You'll find nurses on site and on-call, monthly visits from doctors, and coordination with other healthcare providers for everything from rehab, like physical and occupational therapy, to more serious medical attention if a resident needs more care, and that can give families peace of mind since these visits are regular and routine.
The grounds have walking paths, a garden out back, and spots where you can sit outside, and inside there's lots happening, from reading in a quiet room to movie nights in a theater room with a big TV, plus a communal dining area where everyone can have meals together, and the kitchen staff will handle meals for different diets, like meals for diabetes, allergies, or folks who need their food pureed, and snacks are put out in between meals. Riverview House lets folks bring small pets, and they line up scheduled trips and outings for residents and their families, so people aren't stuck inside if they want to get out for a bit, and activities happen daily, from arts and crafts to fitness.
There are services for memory care, with programs to help those with Alzheimer's or dementia remember important things and stay engaged, and the building itself is secure, with keypad entries and staff all over the place, so folks who might get lost can't wander off. Housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, and cleaning bathrooms happen for everyone, and you can get help showering or using the bathroom if you have trouble moving. Residents don't have to worry about parking or getting a ride to an appointment-there's parking and transportation services for both residents and visitors.
Riverview House makes sure to keep visiting hours flexible, and they offer plenty of chances to see family or friends, as well as events, a chapel service, and a snack shop or bistro where you can grab a bite if you miss a meal in the dining room. There's staff for personal requests, concierge service, monthly wellness checks, medication reminders and set-up, pharmacy service, group trips, relocation help if you need to move in or out, and family support groups if folks want company while navigating changes. The facility is licensed as RCC2188, and you'll find that it aims to provide as much help or independence as each person wants, so if somebody just wants company and someone to check on them, they'll get that, while those with bigger health needs or memory loss will get the safety and help they need, in a spot that's designed for seniors to live as well and safely as possible for as long as they can.
