Long-Term Residential Care

Long-term residential care at Rivervale is for people who need permanent nursing home support. Residents have their own ensuite room — single or twin — and become part of the daily life of the home.

What This Involves

Rivervale provides 24-hour nursing care, with registered nurses on duty at all times. Healthcare assistants support residents with personal care, mobility, and daily routines. Care plans are developed individually and reviewed regularly.

The home accommodates 43 residents across three wings. Long-term residents are supported to maintain their own routines, relationships, and interests within the home.

Who This Is For

Long-term care is appropriate for people who can no longer live independently and require ongoing nursing and personal care. This may follow a period of illness, a decline in ability, or a decision by the person and their family that full-time residential care is the right step.

Dementia care and palliative care can apply alongside long-term residential care, depending on the resident’s needs. These are not separate placements — they describe the level and type of care provided within the same setting.

Fees and Funding

Long-term care is covered under the Fair Deal scheme for eligible residents. For information on how Fair Deal works, see our FAQ. For current rates, contact us directly.
