Rivertown Ridge sits on a 10-acre campus in the Rivertown Park neighborhood, close to parks like Lemery Park and the Pines Golf Course, and provides independent living, assisted living, and memory care in a setting that's home-like and easy to move around in, and folks who live there can choose from open floor plans with light-filled interiors, washers and dryers in independent living units, and a range of kitchen options from kitchenettes to full kitchens, which makes things easier for people who want to do their own cooking, and if someone's looking for a place that offers plenty of activities, there's a chapel, a movie theater, walking and hiking trails, gardens, patios, a tennis court, an indoor pool, fitness and brain fitness classes, lawn games, and even a Book Nook and in-house day spa for something quieter, and there's always music, crafts, exercise, church services, and holidays being celebrated, so folks have a choice of things to do and ways to connect with others.
Memory care has an all-inclusive rate with a lock-in for new residents, and the program comes with a secure neighborhood and activities that help people stay engaged, while assisted living is there for folks who need a hand with things like dressing or medication reminders but still want their independence, and there's also respite care in case caregivers need a short break. Staff members have training in areas like memory care, using medical equipment, emergency response, and making sure everyone's treated with respect, and someone from the nursing staff is on duty part-time, which can bring peace of mind. If anyone's thinking about bringing a pet, that's fine for most, though the community doesn't allow big dogs or birds, and each resident takes care of their own animal.
There's dining in a formal room called The Ridge, and people can pick between communal dining, take-out, meal delivery, snacks, and private dining rooms, with flexible times and resort-style touches. The community's fully vaccinated and emphasizes keeping everybody safe with fall prevention programs, personal medical alert systems, safety checks, and emergency procedures. Services like laundry, housekeeping, maintenance, and trash removal are included, and there's shopping and medical transportation if residents need to get out and about, plus access to an on-site health clinic, therapy, and rehabilitation options including physical, speech, and pet therapy, and also oral hygiene support.
Rivertown Ridge has big gathering spaces, outdoor areas, a two-mile walking path, a main entrance that stands out, and a neighborhood community center for events, and weekly concerts and activities for all ages, so residents stay busy and included, and they also have religious services both Catholic and non-denominational, with a chaplain on staff and space for worship, and if someone's into fitness, there's a wellness center, personal trainer services, and chair and balance classes. Financing accepts private pay, checks, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid, but not Medicaid. Since opening in late 2019, Rivertown Ridge has tried to keep a friendly, trained staff available, and offers tools like support groups, regular wellness checks, recreation, and all kinds of programs to help people stay active and connected, while floor plans and virtual tours are on the website for folks who want a better look at what's available.
