Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I/we consider joining the Waitlist?
A: The benefits of joining include: Having a Plan in Place for your Future; Financial Security; Peace of Mind for you and your family; and More Choice.

Q: How soon should I/we join the Waitlist?
A: Currently, we recommend that you join the Waitlist 2 to 5 years prior to the time of your desired move. The sooner you submit your application, the better. Your name(s) are placed on the Waitlist by the date of your application. You may change the time frame of your move and the style of apartment, cottage, or villa as often as you like, without cost or penalty. The only thing that cannot be changed is the date you submit your application.

Q: What is the cost of joining the Waitlist?
A: The total cost is $2,500 of which $2,000 is fully refundable. RiverMead retains $500 as an application fee. This deposit allows you to put your name on as many apartment, cottage and villa styles as you like and indicates your desired range of entry. When you move in, the $2,000 will be applied toward the Entrance Fee.

Q: Can I/we list our name under more than one style?
A: The Waitlist provides Priority, Flexibility and Choice. Choose as many apartment, cottage or villa styles as you would like, on both campuses.

Q: What if an residence becomes available and we are not ready to move to RiverMead?
A: Simply let us know when you anticipate a move to RiverMead. We will not contact you before then. You will be called when there is an opening and when we have reached the date you specified as your desired entry (you may change that date at anytime).

Q: What if my health should fail before moving?
A: This depends on the circumstances. If it is determined that Assisted Living is more appropriate, you would have the option of transferring your application to the Assisted Living Waitlist. Please keep in mind that RiverMead is not able to accept someone directly into Nursing Care.

Q: If I wanted to move-in now, is that possible?
A: We encourage you to contact us so that we can update you on availability and assist you through the moving process.
