What is a Residential Care Facility?
A residential care facility (RCF) offers housing for individuals who need assistance with personal care and/or medical needs. Our RCF provides room, board, housekeeping, supervision and personalized care assistance based on the resident’s assisted daily living (ADL) needs.
Our level of care and supervision is for people who are unable to live by themselves but who do not need 24 hour nursing care like that of a skilled nursing home. We specialize in bariatric-care, early dementia care and other complex care needs.
Our residential care facility blends two worlds into one — an opportunity for members who need assistance but also a social and loving community.
Five Petals of Excellence
Personalized Care
Other residential care facilities provide care in a one-size-fits-all fashion. However, old-age, especially with dementia cannot be addressed in a one-size-fits-all program. At Rivera Mansions, we provide special attention to each person’s need for support, his or her personal strengths, and unique symptoms and challenges. We make sure that we create personalized resident care plans and train our caregivers to be as adaptable and flexible based on our resident’s requirements.
Hospitable Culture
At Rivera Mansions, we encourage our residents to be independent, enable their freedom to choose, preserve dignity, and nurture the spirit of involving family and friends.
Holistic Approach
From personalized care, to our highly-trained staff, to use of technology, our care for our residents is characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account the interconnection of physical, mental and social health.
Power of Vitality
Vitality is the state of being strong and active! Here at Rivera Mansions, we promote active energy in all parts of a person’s well-being. This includes the mental, physical, social and emotional aspect of one’s being. Based on a holistic approach, we ensure that our fresh food from the kitchen sustains a strong body, our encouraging activities promote a clear and healthy headspace and that our ambient community provides for safe and loving support.
