Riverview Lodge Residential Care Home sits in Deep River, Connecticut, and has been helping adults since 1967, so with over 50 years behind them, they've seen a lot and have really settled into being a safe spot for seniors who need a little or a lot of help. The home can take up to 31 residents, offering both private and shared rooms, with a setting that feels more like a house than a facility and does its best to keep things comfortable and easy. Folks here get help with everyday things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, even just getting around, since most residents need help with these daily tasks. There's always someone around, day and night, to supervise and respond, and Riverview Lodge uses a 24-hour call system and protective supervision for safety, plus safety features are built in, which is important for peace of mind.
The care is pretty flexible-there's assisted living, memory care for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, nursing care, retirement care, and board and care home options. Seniors here get care plans made for them, and the staff also assists with health, social, and personal needs. Meals come from chefs and meal planners who aim for well-balanced diets, there are laundry services, and staff keeps up with medication management and doctor appointments. Residents can enjoy things like common rooms, indoor lounges, walking paths, a garden, barber and salon visits, and even movie nights, plus daily scheduled activities and community events, so there's always something going on if you feel up to it.
The staff works alongside outside agencies and healthcare providers, including home health aides, nurses, rehab therapists, psychiatric care workers, mental health case managers, counseling groups, and job placement services. Riverview Lodge is run by Mr. Jimmy Delano, who owns the place and keeps it focused on residential care and a home-like environment, and though they're not on the Better Business Bureau, they're licensed by the State of Connecticut. The location's pretty handy, close to parks, cafés, restaurants, and not far from the local Yale New Haven Health Old Saybrook Medical Center, as well as doctors' offices, which makes visits and outings easier. Transportation can be arranged, and help with getting to appointments is part of the services. The whole idea here is to keep things safe, steady, and supportive for folks who need extra help to get by, and Riverview Lodge Residential Care Home has been carrying on that way for over five decades now.
