Services | Riverbend Residential Care Home

What We Offer

We provide a fully modernized facility housed in an updated classic Victorian home. We offer all the amenities you need for elder care or support for living with disabilities, from high-speed internet to accessible ramp entrances while retaining the old-fashioned charm and beauty of the original historic architecture. This unique combination allows us to support you in a remarkably comfortable and familiar home-type setting.

Our staff are delighted to spend the time it takes to patiently promote independence while offering needed care, so residents can contribute to the shared household by continuing to enjoy things like raised bed porch gardening, assisting with meal preparation, visiting with our cat, Bear, and other familiar daily activities that make a house a home.

Helpful, Professional Staff

Caring, trained professionals offer our residents 24/7 awake support as needed, while encouraging independence. Our Registered Nurse helps coordinate care plans and services with residents' health care teams, gives guidance to our staff, oversees administration of
medications, vaccines, insulin, and offers ongoing training to staff.

Indoor & Outdoor Comfort

Rooms are private or shared with internet, phone and tv available. Enjoy birds, squirrels, flowers and patio gardens from our covered resident porch and deck. Bedding is provided and laundry is done in-house daily. Residents are welcome to enjoy helping with household tasks from meal preparation to tending plants.

Home-cooked Meals

Delicious, nutritious breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts and healthy snacks are prepared right at home in our kitchen. Many dishes are made from scratch with local fresh ingredients, including a Chicken Wiggle CSA farm share of fresh vegetables, and we have enjoyed pizza parties and Chinese take-out. Residents contribute family recipes and participate in menu planning, and special diets are accommodated.

Supporting Social Connections

It’s important to stay in touch with the special people in your life beyond our residential community. We help our residents stay connected with family and friends through in-person visits, phone calls and Zoom or FaceTime visits. Use your own device or ours for online visits and telemedicine appointments.

Safety & Independence

Balancing safety and security with independence and social connection is a top priority. Locked doors and security cameras ensure only approved persons can access the facility. Visitors are welcomed by staff, and independent residents have their own keycards, as determined by resident and family preferences and professional assessment.
