Riverwoods Durham

On june 30, 2024, the community housed approximately 208 residents in independent apartments and 65 residents in our health care center. Over the course of the year the health care center served approximately 95 residents on a permanent, temporary or per diem basis at a substantially discounted rate. The contractual allowance (i.e. Write-off) related to the level of care provided for lifecare contract residents was $3,956,421 for fy24. Continued on schedule o. As a not-for-profit ccrc, rwd has a benevolence fund to help residents who have outlived their assets or have found themselves unable to make their financial commitment, through no fault of their own. If needed, a resident can turn to the Riverwoods benevolence fund, rather than placing financial burden on senior assistance programs outside the Riverwoods community.woven into the fabric of our founding principles is a commitment to the local community: "to be a responsible community that participates in the life of the larger community around it." We consider ourselves neighbors of the local community, and we are dedicated to serving the new hampshire seacoast area both with our time, knowledge, and through our resources. In fy24, both staff and residents found many ways to give back, serve others, and support the local community by volunteering their time on local not-for-profit boards, volunteering hours in their community and collecting physical donations for toy, food, and clothing drives. Part of our mission is not only to help improve the experience of aging for as many adults as possible, but also to share that knowledge with others, especially the younger generation. Employees regularly share their knowledge by inviting students into the rwd community who can learn from the vast knowledge and experience of the staff. Over the years we have hosted students from a variety of schools and provided internships in a variety of coursework, from marketing to finance to social work and health care. Since Riverwoods opened its doors, a key objective has not only been to share our experiences with others, but to learn from others in the industry at the same time. In this way we continue to innovate, to remain at the forefront of new trends in our industry, and to respond to changing consumer preferences, while also advancing the senior living industry as a whole. Our leaders regularly attend industry seminars, participate in study groups, and present on national and internaltional panels within our industry, as well as draft articles for leading publications. Rwd is a strong community partner and in addition to resident and staff time spent volunteering, rwd has helped a number of community-wide events and organizations with financial support. Rwd has also provided small honorariums/donations to a number of groups who have provided speakers for our on-campus education programs.education is a value highly prized by rwd residents. In fy22, scholarship funds were established for rwd staff. In fy24 $21,500 of scholarships were distibuted to 10 employees.c.a.r.e. Stands for caring, aiding, and responding to employee's financial needs. The c.a.r.e. Fund was established by employees to assist employees of Riverwoods who demonstrate a financial emergency beyond their control and provide them with limited assistance.
