How to Schedule a Tour of Riverview Retirement Community

Updated

Riverview Retirement Community invites prospective residents and families to schedule a tour through the "Schedule a Tour" section of its website, where you can indicate when you would like to visit. The site describes the community as a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) offering the full spectrum of living options, so a tour is the most direct way to see which level of care and which residence type fits your situation. The page does not list a phone number, email address, or online booking form in the available content, so the practical starting point is the tour request link on the site itself.

What You Can See on a Tour

Because Riverview operates as a CCRC, a single visit can cover multiple living arrangements and services rather than just one building. According to the community's own descriptions, the campus includes:

  • Independent Living — homes, condos, and residences in a 55+ community, with floor plans across three different areas of campus ranging from casual to luxury.
  • Assisted Living — Terrace Apartments, described as maintenance-free living with cooking and cleaning provided, plus certified medical support and assisted living services.
  • Memory Care — Veranda Rooms, a memory care facility for Alzheimer's and dementia that engages residents mentally, physically, and socially.
  • Outpatient Therapy — physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other rehabilitative care using an evidence-based approach.
  • Home Care & Home for Hospice — non-nursing help to stay at home or to supplement nursing help with daily living; the Home for Hospice operates like a bed and breakfast, with hospice care provided by another agency.
  • Home Health — nursing or therapy "skilled services" delivered where the person lives rather than in a skilled nursing or rehabilitation facility.

The community also notes that new senior living options are "coming soon," which is worth asking about during a visit if you are planning ahead.

What to Ask Before and During the Tour

The website does not publish pricing, availability, or contract details, so these are the areas to raise directly with staff. Useful questions include:

  1. Which level of care matches my current needs — and how does moving between independent living, assisted living, and memory care work if needs change?
  2. What is included in assisted living (the site specifically mentions cooking and cleaning) versus what costs extra?
  3. Waitlists and timing for the residence type you are considering.
  4. How the CCRC contract works — the site identifies Riverview as a CCRC but does not describe contract types or fees.
  5. Amenities — the community lists woodworking, fitness, swimming, and music among its amenities, so ask which are on-site and whether they are open to all residents.
  6. The "coming soon" construction — what is being built, and when it will be available.

Why the Tour Matters for This Decision

Riverview presents itself as offering a full continuum of care, from independent homes and condos through assisted living, memory care, and end-of-life support. That breadth means the tour is not just a look at one apartment — it is a chance to compare how the different parts of campus feel and to confirm that the level of care you may need later actually exists on-site. Seeing the Terrace Apartments, Veranda Rooms, and independent living areas in person, and asking how transitions between them are handled, gives you information the website does not provide.
