This place follows a person-first model of care, supported by Americare Senior Living, so care is made to fit what each person needs, and people do the living while getting help to live better, which comes through in their wide set of living options, such as assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, and even adult day services set up by the Adult Day Club for seniors who need support during daytime hours. Spacious apartments, private and semi-private suites with full private baths, air conditioning, and wheelchair accessible showers or full tubs make life more comfortable, while an emergency call system in each unit helps everyone feel safer day or night. Meals are made with care, with choices such as low or no sodium, no sugar, gluten-free, vegan, and all are served in a restaurant-style dining room, and there's even a private dining area for special occasions.
The list of amenities goes on, including free Wi-Fi and high-speed internet, a coffee shop and cafe, fireplace lounges, a beauty salon, a fitness center with a Jacuzzi, meeting rooms, an outdoor garden with raised beds for gardening, and gathering places like a game room, a library, and a TV lounge, all meant to make daily life more engaging. People here often join in fitness classes, spiritual services-both Catholic and Protestant-or attend devotionals, and there's a busy calendar of activities to help with social, mental, and emotional well-being, along with entertainment and education. Riverview Terrace offers support for both routine and more complex health needs, with skilled medical staff, medication management, incontinence care, diabetic care, and even more specialized help like non-ambulatory care, hospice care, and rehabilitation after surgery or illness. For those with memory loss, the memory care wing offers housing, care, and dementia-friendly activities, all in a safe setting.
Packages of support can be adjusted if health needs change, and personal assistants are on hand 24 hours a day to help with daily tasks as these needs shift. For folks wishing for independence, the community provides independent living options and residential living for those who don't need daily care, and pet lovers can even bring their pets along.
