Riverside Rehab & Healthcare in Alton provides licensed nursing-home care with round-the-clock access to registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. The team monitors vital signs, manages medications, delivers IV therapy, and coordinates with physicians for lab work and diagnostic services. Residents who need post-acute rehabilitation have on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy seven days a week, and specialized programs are available for wound management, cardiac recovery, and pain control.

Beyond the clinical services, staff members assist with daily living tasks such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. Care plans are reviewed regularly, and family members receive updates on progress or changes in condition. An on-site social services department helps with care coordination and discharge planning, while restorative aides work to maintain residents’ functional abilities between formal therapy sessions.

Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms, each with basic furnishings, safety-equipped bathrooms, and access to emergency call systems; some units have direct views of the outdoor areas where residents can sit or walk with staff supervision. Not all rooms have every feature, so prospective residents should ask to see the specific layout and amenities available during their tour.

Meals are prepared in a central kitchen and served in the main dining room, with tray service delivered to rooms for residents who cannot leave their beds. A registered dietitian oversees menu planning to ensure nutritional requirements are met, and therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, and mechanically altered textures are provided as ordered by physicians.
