Residents have private or companion rooms with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, and the place has helpful services like transportation, parking, housekeeping, laundry, and move-in coordination as well as the "Care Finder" program which helps figure things out for each person and isn't focused on just one kind of care since they offer assistance with bathing, dressing, transfers, diabetes diets, and managing medicine, as well as non-ambulatory and specialized care, all with staff on hand 24 hours a day, including skilled nurses and caregivers plus physical, occupational, and speech therapy staff. Riverdell has a professional chef for the meals, serving food in a community dining room with restaurant-style dining, different choices for allergies and diabetes, and snacks three times each day, so people can eat what works for them, and the activities are planned by a social service manager and activities managers including movie nights in a dedicated movie theater, arts and crafts in the arts room, games in the game room, music programs, outdoor programs, religious services, and small group events for different interests and hobbies. There are gardens, walking paths, wellness rooms, a fitness room, a library, and a spa area outside or inside, and all around you'll see communal spaces like activity rooms and lounge areas for relaxing or talking to friends, and even more, there's help with move-ins, concierge support, and fax service available, plus the administrator Kayla Warner runs things with the support of staff who work all night and day to give care that fits what each resident needs using a life history assessment when someone first arrives, so people get a plan matched to their own health and schedule. The place is connected to the Missouri Health Care Association, provides both CNA and CMT certifications, and keeps everything running with a focus on having skilled professionals and a variety of healthcare, activity, and living options for all kinds of needs-short stays, long-term, or special health concerns.
