Your Home

River Park Gardens is an 80 bed Long Term Care facility. It is located in the southeast area of Winnipeg on the south side of Bishop Grandin Boulevard on St. Anne's Road. It is surrounded on two sides by the scenic Seine River and faces onto St. Anne's Road. River Park Gardens has been designed with four Resident Home Units split onto two floors. We have chosen to call each Resident home unit a House and a single House is composed of 20 single rooms with bathrooms.

Your House

To assist Residents and visitors find their way around, each House has its own name; 1st floor – Assiniboine River and Red River & 2nd floor – LaSalle River, Seine River. Each house has its own unique picture-symbol that also serves as a visual "landmark". Each House has its own dining room, television, kitchenette and quiet room. Beside the door to each Resident room is a glassed-in memory box. This cabinet can be filled with items that reflect the Resident's life history favorite objects, photos, and mementos which also assist Residents in locating their rooms more easily.

Your Room

We understand that a bedroom can become one’s sanctuary. It is our hope that you will decorate it to represent you while meeting your needs. We provide a hospital bed and linens, a nightstand, a dresser/closet set, and a large desk area for your use. There is a private washroom in each room.
If you find that your room has not been cleaned to your satisfaction, please contact the Housekeeping Supervisor or inform the office of your concern. If any repairs are required, please inform your nurse or the receptionist.
