River’s Edge

River's Edge was an assisted living community located about 2.4 miles outside Yuma, Arizona, at 2050 South 4th Avenue, and the place had 67 beds and was part of the Northstar Senior Living group, offering a wide mix of services for older adults like assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, and adult day services, and even though the rooms were small, many found them cozy and set up for residents to add their own furniture, with spaces that could be private or shared, and each one had satellite TV, climate control, and emergency services, with utilities included. The facility ran a dining program with home-cooked meals three times a day plus snacks, all tailored for dietary needs, and meals were eaten in the shared dining room alongside neighbors, who could bring pets if they wanted. The staff was always around, 24 hours a day, to help with things like medication, basic first aid, laundry, and housekeeping, and everyone could use the outdoor and indoor common areas, or join activities and wellness programs designed to keep people involved and active. Nobody missed out on routines, since there was a steady calendar of events, from social gatherings to educational and entertainment hours, plus some spiritual services offsite, which meant folks who wanted such support had nearby options. The community prided itself on helping residents keep their sense of independence for as long as possible, letting people do what they could for themselves, but staff stepped in when more help was needed, whether that was for Alzheimer's care, hospice care, respite care, or just daily support. People seemed to feel the warm, friendly environment, saying the place valued each person's contributions, with a high family review score around 9.5 out of 10, making it the highest rated in Yuma out of the 18 senior living communities in the area, and the community had policies so some pets were allowed, rooms stayed safe, and there was a one-time $1500 fee to move in. The facility had studio layouts, semi-private apartments, and joint or private rooms that were cleaned and kept up by the staff while providing ongoing support as needed. Activities and a caring attitude were a steady presence, and the community worked towards keeping its people connected and comfortable, always aiming to meet needs whether big or small. At this time, River's Edge is not open or accepting new residents, and it doesn't offer any services or amenities, with the community now closed.
