Residents are encouraged to decorate their rooms. We maintain a very liberal visiting hour policy to accommodate the families. Quite often you will see loved ones visiting residents.

The staff here is well trained in medicine administration and we have an excellent record with medication safety. With the development of Oxygen concentrators, the rest home can now accommodate residents on oxygen prescription.
Most of all, the staff at RVRH is well trained to supports residents with behavioral and mental challenges. Yes, we admit residents in need of behavioral and mental support.
