At our facility we believe in a holistic approach to care by meeting the needs of our residents medically, socially and mentally. We understand there may be needs beyond short term or long-term care services and offer specialized services to meet the individual needs. Our specialized services include hospice and respite services
Hospice Care
Knowing that a loved one is suffering from a debilitating illness or possibly even nearing the end of their life, it is often very difficult to deal with mentally, physically and spiritually. The staff at River Terrace combines knowledge and empathy to help manage a patient’s symptoms and make the patient as comfortable as possible. Outside hospice providers may be able to offer further support if the Resident meets hospice criteria. Educating and comforting the family is also part of end of life care services provided by our staff.
Respite Care
Respite care is designed to relieve individuals or families involved in caring for a loved one who is no longer physically or mentally capable of taking care of themselves on a daily basis. River Terrace offers a respite care stay program that allows for caregivers to take a break and take care of themselves. Whether a caregiver must travel for business or recuperate from an illness or injury, we can relieve the burden of daily caregiving through our respite care program.
Testimonials
"I've been here 13 years and I'm really happy here because it's relaxed and it feels like I'm living in a home. The staff and residents are very kind to me and I enjoy the socialization. I really like being able to pick out what I want for breakfast. I get French toast and sausage every morning. I love listening to music and watching television and I have the freedom to do both." - Anthony P., Resident
