Riverside opened its first home health agency in 1982, based at Riverside Regional Medical Center and designed to smooth the transition from hospital to home. The opening of our second home health agency in the upper Middle Peninsula/Northern Neck area enabled us to extend service to all of the residents on the Peninsula, Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck areas of Virginia. Our services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Using Technology to Improve Care
Our nurses use laptop computers to maintain the most up-to-date records, verify that you’re receiving the most appropriate care and provide consistent patient education. Some of our patients participate in our remote monitoring program, transmitting their vital signs every day or several times during the day using a small in-home monitoring unit. The registered nurse at our monitoring station watches for changes in these vital signs that may signal a problem.
Community Connections
Not every patient will qualify for home health services. If our assessment shows that another form of care or service is more appropriate for you, we’ll help you seek alternate methods of care. As part of an extensive medical network, Riverside Home Care can often connect you with other Riverside Health System services or appropriate resources right in your neighborhood.
We work in concert with your physician and plan care according to his or her orders. We involve your family members in your care according to your wishes, realizing the important role that family and friends play in your recovery.
