Riverview Estates' Assisted Living is a 62-bed facility overlooking the Delaware River.  Most rooms have a river view.  There are porches along the front of our home with nothing to obstruct the peaceful and incredible sunsets. We are a short walking distance to the historic Riverton Yacht Club which is an active yacht club with exciting sailing races to watch.
 
We are a community within a community.  Our home is located in a residential area and has been that way for 55 years.  If you are looking for a personal, home-like atmosphere, this is what we offer.  As the Director of Assisted Living, I can tell you that the staff in Assisted Living is consistent and devoted to our residents.  Our Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA's) are experienced.  The longest employed CNA, Shirley Watkins, was honored for 30 years of service.  Doreen, Malinda, Shayla, Kristin, Kathy, Caroline, Kayla, and Rochelle are some of the staff in Assisted Living.
 
We do not charge a la carte for services like many other Assisted Living facilities.  We have a nurse present 24 hours a day and we will administer your medications.  If there is a need, we assist with showers and baths.  We are here to encourage and promote independence, yet will provide the extra help you may need or desire.  Dr. David Gross, our Medical Director, visits every Wednesday should you wish to see him.  Most of the employees, including myself, live within a 3 mile radius.  On a snowy day or in the case of an emergency we are here.
 
We have double and single rooms, a library, and rooms for families to visit overnight.  Dining services offers 5-star dining.  We have a cook who won a national award by Sodexo for her apple pie.  We have speech, physical and occupational therapy.  Jane Bohn is the Social Services Director and is available to assist you with hearing aids, glasses, and a multitude of other services.
 
Pastor Dawn Mays is a member of our staff.  The mission of Riverview Estates is faith-based, non-denominational and encourages all religious backgrounds.  We offer chapel daily.  When corporations are for-profit they are often driven by financial concerns.  Riverview Estates is committed to residents first. 
 
You don't need an appointment to come in for a visit.  There is always a staff person available to give you a tour and you can stay for lunch or dinner.
 
A wide variety of activities are offered, or you can create your own and feel that you are a part of something.  You may have forgotten, but you do have a purpose and friendship is waiting for you if you want it.  In Assisted Living you have a safe environment and each unit is secure.
