Emergency Care
In addition to our 24-hour care staff, we are proactive in ensuring the safety of our residents. We go to great lengths to know all of our resident’s medical needs and history.

Furthermore, to provide care and safety for each resident during emergencies, those living at Riverdale Terrace are provided with an emergency pendant to wear. By pressing the pendant button, help can be reached through our care team. This emergency system communicates who is in need of help and where they are located in the building when calling for assistance, ensuring they receive the appropriate care as quickly as possible.
