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.
