Riverview Healthcare Community is a 190-bed center nestled in the heart of Kent County, Rhode Island, housed in a stately, historic mansion. The community is known for offering a comprehensive continuum of specialized care, designed to restore independence and promote maximum function for its residents. Providing advanced infection control, telemedicine options, and post-discharge support, Riverview focuses on easing the transition from hospital to home while providing an all-encompassing, rejuvenating recovery experience.
The facility features specialized units and programs to address a wide spectrum of needs. Orthopedic rehabilitation, skilled nursing, dementia care, and wound care are all provided in a modern, tranquil setting tailored to support each individual’s unique circumstances. Planning for discharge begins as soon as residents are admitted, with highly individualized care plans developed to support optimal healing and full preparation for returning home. Riverview’s approach is especially beneficial for individuals recovering from orthopedic surgery, stroke, cardiac, or pulmonary conditions, reinforcing a singular goal: to accelerate each resident’s return to their highest possible level of independence.
Safety and comfort are top priorities at Riverview. A high ratio of caregivers to residents allows for more personalized, one-on-one attention, increased supervision, and greater peace of mind for families. A secure unit with the Wander Guard™ security system caters specifically to those with memory impairment, providing 24-hour skilled nursing supervision and a schedule of structured activities. For residents who enjoy time outdoors, activities take place in a private courtyard under the close supervision of staff.
Riverview also offers respite care services, providing temporary relief for family caregivers who may be taking a break for a few days, attending a special event, or going on vacation. The professional care team is always ready to ensure that loved ones receive exceptional care during these intervals.
The holistic, person-centered philosophy at Riverview embraces the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of each resident. Compassionate teams of physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals strive to enhance and enrich daily life while respecting each individual’s dignity and preferences. Renovations at the center are planned for the near future, demonstrating Riverview’s ongoing commitment to a modern and inviting environment. Through solution-driven initiatives such as the Urgent SNF™ Service and Care Navigation™, Riverview sets a high standard for care delivery—ensuring that the right care is provided at the right time and place. The community remains focused on supporting residents and patients at every stage of their recovery journey, always dedicated to helping individuals return to their optimum health.
