Riverside Nursing And Rehabilitation Center in Dayton, Ohio, operates as a skilled nursing facility, delivering around-the-clock clinical oversight from registered and licensed practical nurses. Residents who need post-acute rehabilitation have on-site access to certified physical therapists who tailor exercise and mobility plans aimed at restoring strength and balance after illness, injury, or surgery. The center’s interdisciplinary approach coordinates nursing, therapy, and physician services so that care plans remain current with each resident’s medical condition.
Beyond its core nursing services, Riverside offers short-term respite care, allowing family caregivers a temporary break while their loved one receives professional supervision in a secure setting. Staff handle medication administration, wound care, and routine health monitoring, and they communicate changes promptly to physicians and family members. Social workers and discharge planners assist with care transitions, ensuring continuity whether a resident returns home or moves to another level of support.
Residents occupy private or companion rooms that may include features such as a dedicated phone line, basic cable television, and access to landscaped outdoor areas; not every room contains all of these options, so availability depends on the specific unit selected. Maintenance and housekeeping teams keep living spaces clean and functional, while nursing staff are close by to respond to call systems.
Meals are prepared in accordance with physician-ordered diets, and a registered dietitian reviews menus to meet clinical requirements such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Three daily meals, plus snacks, are served in a central dining room where staff provide assistance for anyone who needs help with eating. Residents unable to leave their room receive tray service consistent with their dietary prescriptions.
An on-site activity center schedules group events, games, and therapeutic recreation that align with residents’ care plans, promoting engagement and social interaction within the limits of each individual’s physical abilities.
