Riverwood Retirement Home

Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you don’t need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home. A nursing home may be a good choice if you need a higher level of care temporarily after a hospitalization, but it’s anticipated you will be able to return to home or another facility after a period of time. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. You have a close network of nearby family, friends, and neighbors. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors.
