Rivervierehabandseniorcare is a large senior care facility in Detroit, MI and provides several types of care, including assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, home care services, inpatient and outpatient rehab, hospice care, and post-acute services. The building has a wide choice of rooms, from studios and semi-private rooms to companion rooms, and offers a range of features like cable TV, air conditioning, private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, and furnished room options. For dining, residents get meals in a community dining room, can request allergy-sensitive meals or diabetes-friendly menus, and sometimes have restaurant-style service. Community amenities include a library, beauty salon, game room, arts and music spaces, fitness and wellness rooms, walking paths, gardens, movie nights, and a busy calendar of daily and weekly activities, which therapists organize to engage people and help them socialize.
The community supports an active lifestyle and has programs set up to encourage friendships and keep residents involved, while also offering transportation for outings and doctor visits, and help with housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and move-in coordination. Staff gives round-the-clock care and helps with medication, transfers, bathing, dressing, and other daily needs. The team is trained to handle care after hospital stays, illnesses, or surgeries, with many health services on-site, including dental, podiatry, diabetes care, mental health support, wound care, IV therapy, pain management, speech and physical therapy, stroke and orthopedic recovery, and nutritional counseling. Residents living with challenges like ventilator-dependency, emotional or behavioral issues, or those needing comprehensive rehabilitation can get specialized attention, as the facility has a 40-bed Geriatric-Psychiatric unit and a 40-bed Pulmonary Care unit for ventilator-dependent residents, plus Bariatric Care with the right equipment.
The setting aims to feel home-like, and residents can join councils to bring up concerns or ideas for improving life and care. Family visits are supported, and there are regular parties and activities for all ages, with special touches for grandparents and grandchildren. Security stays tight with 24-hour supervision and a secure memory care wing. Independent and assisted living residents, most often age 55 or 62 and above, have choices with apartment-style layouts, meal programs, and community events that match shared interests. Rivervierehabandseniorcare is one of just a few Michigan facilities that provide ventilator care for those who need it.
The facility accepts Medicare and Medicaid, with 60 out of 203 beds open as of June 2025, and doesn't offer CCRC but does have skilled nursing, short- and long-term rehab, respite care, and hospice. The facility's Medicare rating is 4 stars for nursing care, though its overall community rating is 3.6 out of 10, and inspection grades have ranged from A to D, with a recent health inspection grade of A-. Residents benefit from resident and family councils where they can voice opinions. The staff helps with everything from daily living needs to more complex therapies and supports seniors' independence as much as possible, working closely on each person's care plan. The community wants people to live their lives as fully and independently as they can in a setting that mixes care, comfort, activities, and medical help.
