How do people come to live at Riverview?
People who need our services come to Riverview Health Centre because of coordination with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA). We collaborate with several regional programs to admit people who will benefit from the specialized care we provide.
For Personal Care Home, Complex Respiratory Care and Alzheimers Centre of Excellence (ACE) units.
If a person is in a hospital and cannot return home, members of their care team and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority’s long-term care access centre team will determine their needs and the available options. This assessment is usually conducted by community care providers from home care and their doctor.
As space becomes available at Riverview, applications from the waiting list are sent to us by the access centre team. We work together with this team to ensure that Riverview is the best possible fit for each person welcomed into our community.
