THE STRUCTURE

Private ownership, partially subsidized by the Provincial government and some federal project grants. 55 Years old, 56 suites, Lunch room/kitchen, Exercise room, Offices, Nurses station, Reception desk and waiting area.

On the main floor of the two-storey building River Crest's main area is like a hotel with the reception area facing the front doors always manned by the insufferable overly-congenial receptionist Sarah Conklin Through a door behind her is a series of Administration offices, one is JJ's office; another is the Nurse's station that Nurse Evans works out of. Green seems to be a favourite colour of the interior of River Crest.

To the right of the foyer is the large restaurant-style eating area where everyone gathers for the three main meals of the day but also congregates to meet up and chat with their friends. The foyer is the centre of the building with 4 hallways leading to the suites that the residents occupy. This layout is very similar to the second floor.

The large windows provide the view to the back lot which extends 3 acres (of what was 10 areas) of not very well kept lawns and a treed area. On the other side of the trees are the fast encroaching city dwellers who are intruding on the once isolated River Crest. To the left is the wing that holds the living quarters of River Crest. River Crest was originally built in 1962 and has gone through a series of renovations and visibly displays the wear and tear of the activities of the residents.
