Frequently Asked Questions

Well, we could go on and on about that! Riverview is privately owned and the owners, Drew and Susan

are on site and involved in every aspect of Riverview. We are a small community and really, like a big

family. We aren’t big and fancy, but Riverview feels like home, it really does.

No, we don’t. Riverview is an independent living community. We provide a home where seniors

feel an extra level of comfort and safety, and their families feel assured that their loved one is in a

supportive, caring environment.

No! We have included everything that you need in one monthly cost and we are up front about any

services that are over and above, such as meal tray service.

When you first see the monthly cost, it does seem like a lot, doesn’t it? But if you add up your costs

including mortgage or rent, property taxes, insurance, groceries, maintenance for your home, lawn

maintenance, snow removal, etc., it does seem reasonable. And our monthly fee is less than most

others.

At this moment, we aren’t able to have guests due to the pandemic. Once life is back to normal, we

would love to have families join us for meals again!

Yes, you can. If you haven’t received your vaccine yet, we would arrange it for you. At this

moment, you would need to isolate for 2 weeks. We would bring you all meals and would make

sure that you have everything you need. There would be no charge for those 2 weeks.

Yes, we do! You can join in on the exercise classes or take part in crafts. We have some avid card

players that are always open to new players! And we are always open to new ideas. And the

favorite activity at Riverview always seems to be sharing a meal with tablemates and having a long

chat.

Yes! Riverview has a fabulous backyard to have a stroll. There are gazebos and several areas to sit

and enjoy the birds. We are also a stone’s throw to the Mississippi River where you can enjoy fabulous

views. Downtown Carleton Place is about a ten-minute walk.

Yes! If there is availability, we would love to have you stay with us for a month or longer.

We get it. Moving is stressful and having to sort through a lifetime of belongings and memories is

enough to stop anyone in their tracks. Give us a call and come for a tour and see if we might be a fit for

you. If you think it might be time to join our little community, talk to your family and see if they might be

able to help you. We can also put you in touch with people and organizations that might be able to help

with the transition.
