Care You Can Count On. Professionals You Can Trust.
Our Approach to Memory Support
Imagine a supportive, caring neighborhood designed with the needs of each resident in mind, not the convenience of the staff. Here, residents receive person-centered memory care from specially trained professionals to support a positive sense of personhood. Our ability-based care model tailors to each individual’s unique needs, preferences, and goals. We’re proud to offer a number of innovative engagement programs and technology-based services to meet residents where they are.
Memory Care Seal of Excellence
RiverWoods Durham has been awarded the prestigious Memory Care Seal of Excellence by the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP). This distinction recognizes our commitment to providing exceptional dementia care and dedication to advancing industry standards. To earn this seal, RiverWoods underwent a rigorous evaluation process, including assessments of staff training, operations, and ongoing competency in memory care. Approved organizations not only meet but exceed the expectations required to provide high-quality, person-centered dementia care.
Innovative Household Model
Each household neighborhood features 12 resident homes that circle a common living room, dining room, and kitchen. Open and staffed 24 hours a day, residents can enjoy a midnight snack in the dining room, take a stroll through the enclosed courtyard, or visit with loved ones in the living room. This home-like environment allows each resident the freedom to rise, eat meals, enjoy recreation and activities, and retire in a way that suits them each personally.
