River's Bend Retirement Community sits at 300 Beech St, Kuttawa, Kentucky, and provides a mix of assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, independent living, and short-term respite care services all under one roof, so you'll find that it really helps people with a range of needs as they age. They've got the Lake House Apartments and assisted living studios where seniors get apartment-style living with 24-hour supervision, and there's always staff around for support and safety, plus you're allowed to bring some of your own furniture to help make it feel like home. They serve chef-prepared meals three times a day at set hours-breakfast at 7:00 am, lunch at noon, and dinner at 5:00 pm-in an 80-seat dining room where menus get posted but don't have a lot of choices.
There's a full-time activity director, so folks can join in scheduled trips, art classes, or stop by the beauty salon twice a week, and they've got events like church services every week and a monthly resident council where you can have your say about things. Residents can use the laundry and housekeeping services, and there's no extra charge for laundry. They bring in doctors like Dr. David French and several others, and Dr. John Sims visits for dental care, plus onsite you'll find therapy services for speech, occupational, and physical needs. Nurses and aides are available, and they help with all daily things-bathing, dressings, taking medicine-so folks who need more help can stay as healthy and comfortable as possible.
The community accepts people usually 55 or 62 and older, and before moving in there's a pre-admission screening checking the level of care and what rooms they have open. The place includes private and semi-private rooms-10 private rooms, 6 semi-private, and then 18 assisted living units for personal care, totalling 80 beds across 72 rooms. There's a strong focus on infection control, environmental safety, and making sure each person's care plan fits what they need, especially for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia since they have memory care services designed for those conditions. If someone needs to recover after a hospital stay or injury, there's rehab with a focus on personal goals.
For those who get around, River's Bend provides transportation and parking, has Wi-Fi throughout, and takes VA benefits like Aid and Attendance, helping families figure out senior care costs. You'll find it run by a nonprofit, and they've earned awards like the Best of Senior Living All Star Award for having the most positive feedback, the Best of Senior Living Award for care and support, and the Bronze - Commitment to Quality Award from the American Health Care Association. The facility runs as an equal opportunity provider and employer, keeping a down-to-earth, friendly place for seniors who want an active lifestyle, housekeeping help, access to medical care, and a sense of belonging as they get older, and they do all this without making things feel too complicated or fancy.
