The Rivers in Portage, Wisconsin, serves seniors who need long-term care, including those who need help moving around. The facility is a Community-based Residential Facility with 16 licensed beds, so it feels small and easy to get to know people. Residents can pick from different care types, like assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, or short-term respite stays. There are two updated buildings, each with areas focused on specific care needs. Trained and friendly staff help with daily tasks, keep rooms and clothing tidy, and are always around to help out, while individualized care plans make sure each person gets the right support but can still be as independent as they want.
The Rivers offers many services to keep residents active and healthy, like fitness classes, light housekeeping, laundry, and daily activities that are social, educational, or just plain fun. Meals are shared in the dining room, and common areas are bright and roomy, with a clean and homey feeling in every part. Residents use WiFi, water, heat, electric, and cable as part of their stay, so the place feels like home. Amenities are set up to make life comfortable and convenient, like an emergency call system for peace of mind and several different floor plans to fit needs. Seniors at The Rivers can also enjoy programs and outings that let them connect to the restaurants, shops, and local sights in Portage. Memory care services come with focused activities to help with memory and keep minds working. The Rivers is part of Encore Senior Living, and a new wing gives more room for the community to grow.
