Riverside Health & Rehabilitation Center in East Hartford, CT offers assisted-living that balances daily support with the goal of maintaining residents’ independence. The community can provide short-term respite stays, allowing family caregivers a break or residents a chance to recover from an illness or surgery. On-site physical therapy services help individuals regain or maintain strength and mobility without leaving the campus. Staff members are also trained in diabetes management, monitoring blood glucose levels, administering medication when needed, and coordinating with residents’ physicians to help stabilize health conditions.

Beyond these core care options, Riverside maintains 24-hour staffing to respond quickly to changing needs and routine wellness checks to detect issues early. Medication management, coordination with external medical providers, and transportation to off-site appointments are readily available. The community aims to reduce hospital readmissions through consistent monitoring and prompt intervention. Families receive regular updates on care plans, and residents have access to rehabilitative equipment within the building, so therapy sessions can be scheduled conveniently.

Accommodations at Riverside vary, but many feature central air conditioning, access to landscaped grounds, and nearby outdoor areas for fresh air and light exercise. Regular housekeeping is included, keeping living spaces clean and organized, and maintenance staff address repairs as needed. Because layouts and upgrades differ, not every apartment or suite includes all features, so it is advisable to confirm specific details during a visit.

Dining services provide three daily meals prepared to support balanced nutrition, with attention to individual dietary requirements such as low-sugar options for residents managing diabetes. Between meals, healthy snacks are available to help maintain energy levels and accommodate varying appetites. Menus rotate to offer variety while still adhering to dietary guidelines and physician recommendations.

Residents can participate in daily and weekly activities held in the on-site activity center, join social clubs and hobby groups, or spend quiet time in the library and computer lounge. Scheduled arts and crafts sessions, TV and movie nights, and community bingo games offer structured ways to socialize and stay mentally engaged.
