Our Perspective

How we see The Riverine

This care home is ideal for seniors from the Greater Napanee area, or for seniors from out of the area with family near here. No matter where you are coming from, you will feel at home in the beautifully-appointed interiors here. Easy access to the 401 makes it easy for family from anywhere east of Toronto to make a visit. It's the perfect place to retire into an easy-going community of like-minded people, who want to leave the cooking and cleaning to someone else.

The Riverine offers superior senior care in the peaceful small-town setting of Napanee. Here, seniors are well-cared for in a setting that feels more like a luxury condo than anything else. Residents of the Riverine feel like staff is family who go that extra mile to offer daily care. Care includes housekeeping, to bathing assistance and medication administration.

The situation of the residence is also delightfully peaceful, with well-maintained and tastefully landscaped grounds that slope toward the scenic river, surrounded by trees. A pathway leads down to a wonderful vista of the countryside. Nearby there are a collection of local services including several churches, and a variety of health services (physiotherapy, a pharmacy, a dentist's office).

What do you do differently or uniquely well?

We provide supportive living in a setting that truly feels like home. As a family-owned community, we place a strong emphasis on personal relationships and attentive service. Residents appreciate the comfort of well-appointed suites, the warmth of our team, and the reassurance that support is always close at hand when it is needed.

What supports do you offer residents as they adjust to life there?

We focus on making the transition smooth and reassuring. Our team helps new residents become familiar with the residence, the dining room, and the daily routines that shape life here. Because we are a close-knit community, residents and staff quickly get to know one another, which helps new residents feel welcomed and settled during those important first weeks.

How are residents supported if their needs change?

If an independent living resident’s needs evolve, we can increase support through services such as assistance with personal needs like bathing, as well as medication administration. We want to provide the right level of care while helping residents maintain their independence and comfort. By adapting services to each individual, we help residents continue enjoying life in a familiar and supportive environment.

Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?

Someone who requires highly specialized medical care or a hospital-style environment from the outset may be better served in another setting. The Riverine is best suited to seniors who want supportive retirement living in a welcoming community setting. Our residence works best for individuals who value comfort, personal attention, and a sense of community.

What might residents find surprising about your community?

People might expect retirement living to feel more institutional, but what they experience here is a warm community where staff take the time to get to know residents personally. Residents and families remark on how welcoming and comfortable the residence feels. That sense of familiarity and genuine care is something many people notice right away.

How will your community change in the next five years?

We’ll continue strengthening the qualities that residents and families already value: attentive service, dependable support, and a welcoming community atmosphere. Our focus will remain on providing thoughtful care and comfortable living while ensuring The Riverine continues to feel like home for the people who live here.

Verified reviews of The Riverine

What residents and their loved ones say about The Riverine in reviews.

Leslie Young, family member

"2010, in her 90th year, my Mother joined her sister, 5 years her senior, at the Riverine. Both were very hesitant to leave homes on the Napanee area farms where they raised their families; but the widows who had worked & travelled together in their senior years, happily re-united in this clean, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere. Later on, following many visits, 2 ‘younger’ sisters, also widowed, joined them from suburban Kingston. For several years, the 4 siblings enjoyed many crafts..."

Rob Baxby, family member

"My Dad is here, they do a great job!"
