Riverview Estates sits along the Delaware River in Riverton, NJ, in a peaceful spot with panoramic water views and two big porches where folks often relax, and there's something about walking through hallways where the building's old Victorian charm still shows from its 1864 origin, but you'll find the updates and comfort people need, since the building's been restored and the assisted living suites have been renovated for modern use, all surrounded by a small-town feeling that's pretty hard to come by these days. The campus holds 122 beds, offering a full range of care, so some people live on their own in independent apartments, while others use assisted living, skilled nursing, or memory care when they need extra help, and around here they try to keep routines respectful, with dignity, and full of joy, which you see in the staff who help with daily things like bathing, dressing, making sure medicine is taken, or you'll find home-care aides who visit those living at home and provide some companionship and non-medical support when families ask for it.
For those who need extra medical attention, there's around-the-clock nursing and clinical programs like subacute and orthopedic rehab, cardiac care, dementia care, physical therapy, palliative care, wound care, dental and podiatry care, and respite care, with the gym equipped for rehab to help with recovery and wellness after hospital stays or surgery, and the sensory-based programming, like snoezelen activities, helps residents with dementia feel more comfortable and less confused. You'll see that the meals are as balanced as the days, since the kitchen makes sure nutrition and taste go hand in hand, and special diets-like low or no sugar, low salt, or gluten-free-are available, with private dining rooms for families to visit, riverfront dining with those scenic views, and there's an ice cream parlor and gift shop to visit for a treat or to buy something small.
People can go to chapel services each week, and there are regular Protestant and Catholic devotional services, weekly Bible study, and the sense of faith grounds the place, although neighbors come from all different backgrounds since the community makes room for everyone, supporting legal protections for folks regardless of gender identity, orientation, or how they pay for care. Residents stay busy with group activities-parties, concerts, trips about town, crafts, gardening, painting, and the Social Club for those who live alone, plus there's a library full of books, an activities room for get-togethers, a computer lab, and free Wi-Fi and cable, so technology keeps everyone connected and entertained, and transportation is offered for errands, appointments, or outings, with some rides included and others at a cost.
Manicured atrium gardens, an enclosed courtyard, and outdoor patio spaces let people enjoy fresh air, and there's free parking for visitors, though details about garages or extra parking aren't really clear, but house-keeping gets handled as part of the package and the environment's kept tidy and calm. There's a beauty and barber salon onsite for hair care, and folks can always find a quiet spot, read, or visit with friends, family, or new neighbors. Riverview Estates accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance plans, and the focus remains on compassionate, personal care with staff available 24/7 and family included in the process as much as possible, since management through Allaire Health Services emphasizes staying involved and connected. People who visit for a tour can see the daily life, check out dining and activity rooms, and get a feel for how life moves here-peaceful, familiar, with a bit of old-fashioned charm, and always keeping the comfort of residents and their families at the center of things.
