River East Personal Care Home is home to 120 elders. It is located in the East Kildonan area of the City of Winnipeg. River East Personal Care Home Ltd. is a privately owned and managed organization. River East is a one-story structure situated on 5.4 acres of land, built in 1993, that is designed and decorated to feel like home from the minute you enter our front door!
Elders are accommodated within five neighbourhoods:
- Faith Lane
- Hope Haven
- Charity Road
- Serenity Cove
- Courage Bay
All elder rooms are private with a 2 piece ensuite bathroom to enhance personal space. Elders are encouraged to bring their own furnishings and pictures to make the transition to long term care living easier. River East Personal Care Home provides the opportunity for elders to continue their relationship with animals and pets as well. There are a number of animals and birds that call River East home. Visits from family and staff pets are always welcome. We believe that our elders deserve easy access to animal companionship 24 hours per day.
The back yard of the home features a large tented patio with a flower and vegetable gardens that are wheelchair accessible for our elders. Bird feeders are also located in the back area to attract different birds for the Elders to watch. The tent and gazebo lend themselves well to coffee parties, luncheons and recreation programs during the summer months. Our slogan is that it is "better to live in a garden!" |
