Rivercrest, located at 80 Deaconess Road in Concord, MA, sits along the Sudbury River and serves as a senior living community with a long-term care focus. The facility has 42 beds with both private and semi-private rooms, and the environment's been recently renovated, so you'll see open common areas, a community kitchen, a large dining space, an enclosed patio, and other comfortable places to gather like a fireplace lounge, spa, and activities room. Meals come from chefs and meal planners who design nutritious menus, and dining options aim to match the quality and taste of top restaurants. There's scheduled transportation to medical appointments and an emergency call system in every bedroom and bath.
Rivercrest belongs to Deaconess Abundant Life Communities and connects with Newbury Court, Renaissance Gardens, Rockridge Retirement Community, and Rivercrest Wellness & Rehab at Newbury Court. The programs cover assisted living, memory care, independent living, respite care for temporary stays, and a full continuum of senior healthcare with skilled nursing, rehabilitation, post-injury care, and end-of-life support. Skilled nursing is on-site 24/7 with oversight by a medical director who's focused on geriatrics, and there's help with medication, pain and wound care, IV antibiotics, and chronic illness management, as well as physical, speech, and occupational therapies, plus pet and aquatic therapies for restorative support. The staff provide diabetic care, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory care, along with home care services where trained aides offer companionship, safe movement, and non-medical help, all tailored through Nurse Care Managers who meet with families to set up a Care Plan and review costs and what happens next.
Residents enjoy activities for the mind and body with classes in music, art, literature, and history, guest speakers, and plenty of cultural, social, and spiritual events including devotional time. Rivercrest makes it a point to foster growth and fun with exercise rooms, life enrichment programming throughout the day, outings, and special entertainment, all grounded in a culturally rich and socially connected lifestyle that values lifelong learning and sharing stories. There are programs and amenities that support both short- and long-term stays, and if residents are going home after rehab, Nurse Care Managers can arrange a pre-discharge visit to make sure things will be safe and comfortable. The facility serves over 20 towns in Greater Boston and takes Medicare, Medicaid, private pay, and long-term care insurance, with a lowest daily rate of $450. Rivercrest remains a not-for-profit provider that families and healthcare providers trust, and the care team focuses on compassion, steady routines, and plenty of heartwarming updates through a newsletter.
