Riva Ridge Assisted Living & Memory Care Center

Riva Ridge Assisted Living & Memory Care Center sits as a small and cozy place with room for just 16 residents, making it feel more like a family home than a big institution, and you'll notice right away how the staff and residents treat each other with kindness and respect, since everyone seems to know one another and the staff, who include certified nurses' assistants, are around day and night to help with anything from bathing and dressing to medication, walking, and eating. The place is registered as a Type B small, Alzheimer's certified Assisted Living Facility, so it's geared for folks who have memory issues like dementia or Alzheimer's, and the Memory Care services are clearly a big part of what goes on here, with staff making sure people feel safe and comfortable whether they live in private or semi-private rooms that open up to shared dining and activity spaces. The kitchen prepares homestyle, nutritious meals, and dining is almost like being at a family table, since the food's won awards and the menus can fit what each resident likes or needs, while there's plenty of organized activities and social time, which is important for keeping spirits up and helping folks stay active and engaged, with activities, transportation, internet, and even parking all included. The community makes a strong effort to include every resident, giving the same level of care and welcome to all, as a Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity Provider, and personal care plans are set up for each person, adjusting as needs change over time, so it never feels one-size-fits-all, and there are always enough caregivers around to notice when someone needs extra attention. The facility, which had a remodel back in 2018, is laid out to feel peaceful and home-like, with a landscape that gives a sense of calm, and you'll find everything set up for comfort and dignity, right down to the way daily living support, cleaning, and meals are handled, so residents can just focus on enjoying their days, building friendships, and feeling a sense of belonging.
