Also operated by Signature Healthcare, this facility shares the Prestonsburg community with Prestonsburg Health Care Center while serving a distinct resident population with its own dedicated care team and personalized approach to nursing and rehabilitation. Prestonsburg's setting along the Big Sandy River gives Riverview Health Care Center its fitting name—the surrounding landscape of river valleys and wooded ridgelines creates a serene environment for recovery and long-term care.
