What do you do differently or uniquely well?
What do you do differently or uniquely well?
At Amica Riverside, we can support a wide range of care needs—including heavier care like two-person assistance—but we are not a secured memory care community. Residents who may be a danger to themselves or others, or who are at risk of wandering, are unfortunately not safe here. If a resident’s needs change while living with us, our professional wellness team reassesses their care plan and adjusts services as needed, often without requiring a move. In some cases, a resident may need to transition to a different suite or, rarely, to a more specialized community. We provide compassionate support throughout this process, working closely with families and healthcare professionals. Additionally, outside care providers are welcome to come in.
What sets us apart is the variety of living options—from retiree apartments to one-floor villas and new retirement suites—all within a vibrant, walkable community. With concierge services, engaging social opportunities, and standout amenities like our rooftop Skylight Restaurant and On the Rocks lounge, daily life here feels both easy and elevated.

Riverstone may not be right for anyone looking for a traditional retirement residence with built-in clinical care or daily assistance. (We have other communities in London that could help you with that.) Our community is designed for independent adults who want convenience, connection, and an active lifestyle. If you’re seeking a more structured or care-focused environment, another type of residence may be a better match.
