Riverside Nursing Home has achieved a prestigious 5-star rating from Medicare and Medicaid, a significant milestone that highlights the quality of care provided at the facility. This rating places Riverside among an elite group of only 10% of nursing homes in New Hampshire, with just seven or eight facilities statewide receiving this top designation.

During the recent Strafford County Executive Committee's 3rd Quarter Budget Meeting, the achievement was noted as a testament to the high standards of care at Riverside. With a total of 78 nursing homes in New Hampshire, the 5-star rating underscores the commitment to excellence in patient care that Riverside has demonstrated.

The discussion emphasized that this rating is not just a number; it reflects the dedication of the staff and the quality of services provided to residents. As the county continues to focus on improving healthcare services, Riverside's accomplishment serves as a benchmark for other facilities aiming for similar recognition.

This achievement is expected to enhance Riverside's reputation and could potentially influence future funding and support for the facility, as well as inspire other nursing homes in the region to elevate their standards of care.
