We're a Level 3 Residential Care Home
Sometimes the terms "assisted living" and "nursing home" are used interchangeably with "residential care home" yet there are important differences.
​
Level 3 Residential Care Homes like Riverbend “provide personal care, defined as assistance with meals, dressing, movement, bathing, grooming, or other personal needs, or general supervision of physical or mental well-being, including nursing overview and medication management as defined by the licensing agency by rule, but not full-time nursing care.” You can find out more from the Vermont Agency of Human Services.
​
With a 22 resident capacity, we take care to match roommates and dining table groups that are compatible and create a family atmosphere, while taking the time for personal touches including medical management like making appointments, connecting with specialists such as for eye care, audiology, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics and rheumatology, promptly answering requests for assistance, and encouraging each resident’s independence.
