River Garden Hebrew Home for the Aged operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing around-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who require long-term or short-term nursing care. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants manage daily medical needs, wound care, medication administration, and ongoing monitoring. The community also offers respite care, giving family caregivers a temporary break while ensuring their loved one receives the same level of professional attention. On-site physical therapy is available to help residents regain or maintain mobility, strength, and balance, with therapists coordinating closely with nursing staff to support individual care plans.
Beyond core nursing services, the facility maintains on-site medical coordination with physicians, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to streamline treatment changes and follow-up care. Regular care assessments, fall-prevention programs, and access to diagnostic testing help identify and address issues quickly. Residents benefit from care plan meetings that include family members, ensuring goals and progress are transparent and documented. Emergency response systems are in place throughout the building, and transportation is arranged for outside medical appointments when necessary.
Accommodations include private and semi-private rooms with utilities such as electricity, gas, water, sewer, and cable bundled into the monthly rate. Some living areas provide access to a library and computer lounge for email, reading, or online appointments, while others are situated near outdoor areas where residents can enjoy fresh air or arranged intergenerational programs with visiting students. Because floor plans and room layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every listed feature.
Dining follows scheduled meal times in a communal setting, with menus reviewed by dietitians to meet therapeutic or physician-ordered diets. Residents who require assistance with eating receive help from trained staff, and texture-modified options are available as prescribed. When a resident’s health status calls for in-room dining, tray service is provided without additional charge. Special meals for cultural or holiday events are incorporated when possible.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts daily programs designed to encourage engagement and social interaction. Bingo remains a popular pastime, offering structured recreation that can be adapted for various mobility or cognitive levels, and staff members facilitate the games to ensure inclusivity and safety.
