Riviera Senior Living sits close to the Halifax River in Holly Hill, Florida, in a mid-rise building with old-world charm, once called the Rio Vista on the Halifax Riviera Hotel, and now blends history with modern comforts for older adults. The community offers many types of care, including Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care, short-term Respite Care, and even Skilled Nursing for those who need it. Residents can get help through different state programs, like the Florida Medicaid LTC Waiver, Community Care for the Elderly, Home Care for the Elderly, PACE, and Optional State Supplementation, so there's support for both medical and non-medical needs, such as adult day care, in-home care, homemaker services, therapy, and transportation.
The place keeps a strong focus on helping residents live with a sense of purpose, stay connected, and enjoy life, so there's always a full calendar with things like exercise classes, arts and crafts, trivia, outings to nearby attractions like the Daytona Beach Boardwalk, Happy Hour get-togethers, wine tastings, movie nights in a dedicated theater, book clubs, religious groups, and men's and women's clubs. Residents can also volunteer, explore the local culture with free transportation for events like the Daytona 500, and meet new friends through the many group activities, clubs, and community events.
Riviera Senior Living has several living choices-studio, one-bedroom, deluxe one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments-with features like walk-in closets, private balconies, patios with umbrellas, full kitchens or kitchenettes (in some units), and even views of the lake or pond for a more peaceful setting. For those who want to relax, there are lounge areas, fireside gathering spots, a library, bar and cocktail lounge, card and game room, and plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces, like a gazebo, gardens, parks, and a heated indoor pool as well as an outdoor pool.
Dining includes chef-inspired meals served restaurant-style, with a MyChoice Dining Program and also care-focused dining rooms. Residents get three meals a day, and there's a complimentary breakfast. Nutrition and taste stand out thanks to Five Star Culinary dining options, and there's a private dining room for special occasions.
Support staff stay on-site all day and night for help with assisted living needs, like medication management and diabetic care, and offer in-house doctor visits. Memory care programs give extra help for people with Alzheimer's or other dementia types through structured routines and a safe environment. There's an Ageility clinic for rehab, physical and occupational therapy, speech-language services, and personal fitness training.
Amenities include a fitness center, activity studio, community computer workstations, beauty salon and barbershop, community chapel, billiards lounge, pet-friendly policies with a dog park, housekeeping and laundry services, covered parking, and concierge service. Residents have maintenance-free living with included cable, internet, and satellite TV, plus free transportation to shops, restaurants, parks, and medical facilities.
The community is secure, with a gated entrance and safe indoor/outdoor walking areas, and the buildings for independent and assisted living connect through a breezeway for easier movement. Riviera Senior Living values independence but also offers personal support, so people feel at home whether joined in social events, doing hobbies, or relaxing privately. There's an emphasis on comfort, friendship, and keeping healthy, and everyone-residents and their pets-have space to enjoy both social life and quiet moments.
