Overview of Riverview Estates Rehab and Senior Living Center

Riverview Estates Rehab and Senior Living Center offers nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, palliative care, and respite care in Riverton, NJ. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while nursing home and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Palliative care centers on comfort and symptom support, and respite care offers a brief stay when a usual caregiver needs temporary relief.

The home has 60 beds and an 80% occupancy rate, so it was not fully occupied at the time measured. Its combination of assisted living and nursing care can suit someone whose daily support needs may increase over time. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours 42 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated to each resident.

Rehabilitation services include subacute, orthopedic, and cardiac rehabilitation, allowing residents to receive these forms of recovery support through the facility’s programs. A salon, courtyard, and atrium garden offer on-site options for grooming and outdoor time, while scheduled activities and local field trips create organized ways to spend time beyond the building; transportation is available for those outings. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted: Medicare can cover short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means the family funds care directly. Ms. Toni Rembas serves as administrator, and the community is operated by Riverview Estates Rehabilitation And Senior Living. A Walk Score of 65 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain destinations independently.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New Jersey

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New Jersey?

Assisted living in New Jersey supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New Jersey?

Assisted living in New Jersey is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New Jersey Medicaid cover assisted living?

New Jersey Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New Jersey) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 287 assisted living facilities in New Jersey. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New Jersey?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New Jersey, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in New Jersey?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
