The Veranda Memory Care Showcases an Open Floor Plan
 

Riverview Retirement Community is a Life Plan Community. That means we offer a full complement of senior living options: independent living (the Village), assisted living (the Terrace), and memory care facility (the Veranda)! Here is how we stand out as a premier provider among other similar memory care to best serve your loved one:

  • Only 32 Valued Residents – Our concierge staff gets to know and serve each one of these residents.
  • No Corridors or Hallways – Our unique building design has no narrow hallways or corridors, giving staff a line of sight not usually found in a dementia care facility.
  • Companionship: Many of our rooms are shared, which provides reassurance, reduction in anxiety as well as isolation and leads to improved mood and overall well-being.  
  • Engagement: With dedicated activities, an indoor and outdoor garden, as well as the option to take part in larger activities in our assisted living, our residents attend concerts, car shows, enjoy the coffee shop and go on bus trips to see the sights around Spokane.
  • Space to Walk – Our Memory Care has the highest number of square feet per resident compared to other memory care nursing homes.
  • Wayfinding – Artwork, colors, and other cues help residents find their way around our Alzheimer’s care facility.
  • Amazing Food – All meals are prepared under the supervision of our award-winning Chef Tony and served in the memory care center.
  • Central Location – We are close to downtown, easily accessible from the Northside, South Hill and Spokane Valley, making it convenient to visit your loved one.  With the new North South Freeway, we are about 25 minutes from Deer Park.
  • Local Artwork – All our artwork features scenes from Spokane, Palouse, and Lake Coeur d’Alene.
  • Oversized Aquarium – Residents enjoy watching color and the fish moving in our 18-foot aquarium, one of the largest in Spokane memory care facilities
  • Memory Zones – These “memory enhancers” help our residents recall many familiar memories, and keep them engaged throughout the day.
  • Not One Step – There are no steps anywhere in the building for ease of access with wheelchairs in our Alzheimer’s care facility.
 

Pricing for Memory Care

Riverview Memory Care has a room and board fee as well as a separate level of care fee. Instead of using points, or levels of care, we provide a choice of care. You only pay for the services and care you need, instead of tiered systems.  Some level of care items charged at other Spokane Memory Cares, are included in the room at board at Riverview. 

Our spacious single occupancy rooms are priced at $7,900 a month before additional care is added to the price. Our double occupancy rooms are shared companion spaces priced at $6,200.  Our rooms are competitively priced within the Spokane area. Also, included in our price for room and board are items like cueing, escorting and most medicine management resulting in a potential savings of over $1,000.  

What sets us apart is the exceptional care provided by our dedicated staff, the expertise of our administrators, the engaging activities we offer, and the compassion our team shows to residents and their families. We invite you to meet our team, tour our facility, and experience the warmth and joy that defines Riverview Memory Care at the Veranda.

Riverview has over 65 years of experience in senior care, including dementia and memory care. The Veranda, our separate and secure memory care building, is staffed with care providers, housekeeping, and dining services. We personalize care through individualized care plans tailored to each resident’s specific needs. The Veranda’s staff are seasoned professional’s adept at recognizing and responding to residents’ cues. We provide adaptive care, adjusting routines to fit individual needs and preferences, such as preferred wake-up times, dressing preferences, and the level of assistance they require. While activities are often designed for group participation, they are varied to ensure that each resident has opportunities to engage in something they enjoy. These include sing-alongs, craft projects, storytelling, and movement and music-based activities. In addition to providing direct care, the Riverview Memory Care staff and RiverCare at the Veranda also offer one-on-one companionship.

Like most communities, we value family input and emphasize the importance of family participation in care meetings. We maintain an open-door policy, and friends and family are always welcome to visit, join activities, or share a meal with their loved one. Our campus provides a supportive community not just for residents with dementia, but also for their families and friends navigating this journey. We have an on-site chaplain and a campus administrator who is a certified dementia provider through the NCCDP. We also offer a dementia support group for families seeking help and answers as they adapt to the evolving needs of their loved ones. We partner with the Alzheimer’s Association and hold annual fundraisers to support research aimed at finding a cure. Over time, family members often form bonds with one another, creating their own network of support within our community. In addition to these community-wide resources, we provide individualized communication with each family as needed. We also keep families informed through various channels, including phone trees, newsletters, activity calendars, weekly menus, and readily available staff and leadership to address any questions or concerns.
