RiverMead Team Pulls Together!

Dining Services staff getting dinner picnic baskets ready for delivery

Every department has been touched by these changes and staff members have quickly implemented creative solutions. We know so well that it often the "small things" that can make such a difference to our resident's lives.

Resident are able to call our "To Go" to order their evening meal, and it's delivered right to their door, whether they live in a cottage, apartment or Villa.

"Dinner by 'candlelight' isn't bad…especially when one doesn't have to cook it!" from resident Diana Mundy.

Programming is publishing a daily newsletter delivered to everyone's door with some puzzles, word scrambles, photos and RiverMead news to help keep residents minds engaged and amused.

The Fitness department has put together a "Fitness Toolbox" ideas and instruction on how to safely workout at home on your own.

The Environmental Services department is responsible for the housekeeping and cleaning of our entire community. They keep us safe and healthy every day.

The RiverMead Programming Staff are mobilizing as a team with the support from other departments to facilitate virtual spouse and family visits for residents that are living in the Health Center. Technology has been put in place so that staff can help make Face Time and Skype calls to loved ones who are not permitted to visit while we keep our Health Center free from visitors at the moment. This has made a big difference for residents who are not only missing their loved ones, but concerned for them as well. The singing, smiles, laughter and kisses though the virtual world are not replacement for the real thing…but for now they are providing some comfort and novelty.
