Riva Ridge Assisted Living stands out as a uniquely warm and welcoming care community, dedicated to making residents truly feel at home. With an intentional focus on creating a family-style environment, Riva Ridge seamlessly blends the comforts of a traditional home with attentive, professional care. The facility is thoughtfully designed to support only 16 residents, a purposeful small size that enables the staff to focus on each individual's needs and preferences. The high caregiver-to-resident ratio ensures that every person receives personalized attention, allowing for tailored care plans and the flexibility to adapt as needs change.
At Riva Ridge, the philosophy of care is deeply person-centered, taking a holistic approach that nurtures not only physical health but also the cognitive, spiritual, social, and emotional well-being of each resident. Rather than revolving daily routines around clinical tasks or institutional processes, the staff strives to fill every day with meaningful activities, engagement, and compassion. Whether in Assisted Living or the Memory Care Center, residents are never seen merely as patients, but as individuals with stories, preferences, and capacity for happiness.
Meals at Riva Ridge are home-cooked, thoughtfully prepared to accommodate dietary needs and personal tastes. Shared and private rooms are available, each integrating individual preferences in décor and arrangement to provide residents with a true sense of belonging and comfort. The peaceful country surroundings set a serene backdrop, fostering a tranquil atmosphere for residents and their families alike. Housekeeping and personal care services are all included, contributing to a sense of ease and security.
The presence of both Assisted Living and an Alzheimer’s-certified Memory Care Center on site allows the team at Riva Ridge to support individuals with varied and evolving medical and personal requirements. Staff members, including Janeth Mendoza, Ken Missler, Ivonne, and Sheila Shannon, are part of a dedicated team that has established strong, lasting bonds not just with the residents but also with their extended families. This commitment is reflected in every detail—from customized activity programming and menu planning, to daily interactions that emphasize respect, dignity, and genuine affection.
Riva Ridge’s approach to care goes beyond simply meeting needs; it nurtures a true sense of community and belonging, where the well-being and individuality of each resident are always at the heart of daily life. The facility is beautifully landscaped with accessible gardening areas, inviting residents to enjoy the outdoors and participate in therapeutic activities. Inside, there are opportunities for art, games, and other forms of engagement, all led by the caring Riva Ridge team. Every aspect of the environment and care is tailored to support the comfort, happiness, and dignity of the people who call Riva Ridge home.
