Overview of Riverside Rest Home

Riverside Rest Home is a 215-bed skilled nursing community that the County of Strafford operates on County Farm Road in Dover, New Hampshire. The home serves Dover and the surrounding Strafford County region with extensive nursing care and rehabilitation services.

The facility maintains a 72 percent occupancy rate, sustaining consistent staffing while keeping the community engaged. Clinical operations spotlight rehabilitation and ongoing nursing support, with 24-hour staffing ensuring residents can access care all the time. Total nursing care averages 5 hours 34 minutes per resident day, distributed across registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses. It’s a layered approach reflecting the skilled nursing work intensity. The home is in a car-dependent area where most errands and appointments require driving, typical of Dover’s settings. Recognizing this fact, the facility provides transportation services for residents and families, easing the logistics management of medical appointments, shopping, and outings. This practical support helps fill the gap between the home’s location and the wider community. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted, giving families numerous routes to fund skilled nursing care, whether for short-term post-hospital rehabilitation or longer-term residence. The community includes a dining room where occupants take meals together, and a schedule of volunteer programs bringing outside visitors and engagement into daily life.

State inspections have centered on medication management and infection control practices, zones foundational to skilled nursing operations. The home operates within the ongoing regulatory oversight that governs all nursing facilities in the state.

For families examining Riverside Rest Home, touring in person provides the best sense of the care environment, allows you to meet staff, see the room types, and understand the community’s daily rhythm.

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	1h 10m per day	▲ 43% State avg: 49m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	37m per day	▼ 21% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 34m per day	▲ 8% State avg: 2h 23m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 45m per day	▲ 5% State avg: 3h 35m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	1m per day	▼ 74% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	56m per day	▲ 69% State avg: 33m per day · National avg: 29m per day
