Home care in Riverside
Riverside was its own town until 1966 and much of it still behaves that way. It has an older population living in postwar houses along the Detroit River, and the families who call us are usually trying to keep a parent in a house with a view they have earned.
Postwar bungalows, and a basement in daily use
Riverside and Olde Riverside are mostly 1950s and 60s bungalows and one-and-a-half storeys on the streets running back from Riverside Drive, with a finished basement that is genuinely used — laundry, freezer, workshop, sometimes a second sitting room. The stairs down to it are steep and often have a rail on one side only. Above ground the layout is flat and workable, which is why so many people here stay far longer than anyone expected, and why the basement stairs are usually the specific thing that needs solving.
How care usually starts in Riverside
Drawn from real cases in this area. Details are generalized and nothing identifying is included — we do not publish information about the people we care for.
A basement in daily use
Laundry, freezer and workbench, all down a steep flight he should not have been on. Four hours a day took the whole basement out of his week.
Alzheimer’s and a familiar street
Flat, quiet and known to her for forty years. Care at six hours a day, weighted to the afternoon, kept the daily walk along the river in the routine.
Home from Ouellette on a Friday
Discharged with a walker and no family free until Monday. Care started that afternoon at eight hours daily and tapered.
What this looks like in practice
Most families in Riverside start with four to eight hours of care a day. Care usually begins within a day of the first call, and the same day where someone is coming out of hospital — typically Windsor Regional Hospital — the Met or Ouellette campuses.
We support people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, ALS, paraplegia and reduced mobility, people recovering from a stroke or a fall, and older adults who simply need help to manage the day. In almost every case above the outcome was the same: the person stayed in their own home and received their care there.
