For those who are no longer able to live safely and independently in their own homes, Riverside Nursing Centre focuses on making the transition to long-term care as smooth and worry-free as possible for both the individual and their family. The admissions experience is designed to be informative and supportive, inviting families to tour the centre, meet the Riverside team, and participate in a thorough care planning process. This process includes gathering a comprehensive medical history and taking the time to truly understand the unique needs and personal preferences of each new resident.
The care offered at Riverside Nursing Centre is comprehensive and multidisciplinary. Around-the-clock nursing care ensures resident needs are met at all times, supplemented by physician coverage and easy access to valuable in-house support services. These include pharmacy, laboratory services, specialized podiatry and advanced wound care—all provided on site for maximum convenience and comfort. The team recognizes that accessibility to these services can make a significant difference during such an important phase of life.
In addition to residential care, Riverside Nursing Centre features an outpatient rehabilitation program tailored for individuals able to reside at home but who require continued therapy services. This program supports patients focused on resuming active lives, building strength, improving mobility and balance, managing pain, or enhancing daily living activities. A physician or primary care provider referral is required for admission to the outpatient program, and most outpatient services are eligible for billing through primary insurance plans, making participation straightforward and accessible.
Understanding the diverse needs of the community, Riverside Nursing Centre also offers respite care. This service provides invaluable relief and reassurance to both patients and caregivers, with flexible stays ranging from five days to five weeks or more, according to what best suits each individual situation. There is no minimum requirement for length of stay, and financial coverage options are available, including Medicaid and private pay. Importantly, respite services at Riverside Nursing Centre are not contingent upon hospice enrollment.
