The Rivers Independent Plus Living

While living in your independent living apartment you are able to choose from a menu of health management services which would include an on site urgent call pendant for your personal safety and security.

The Rivers Assisted Living

The Rivers Assisted Living offers health care services to persons who need assistance with daily activities. Our assisted living approach provides the ideal solution for seniors who need some help with personal needs while focusing on wellness to keep them as independent as possible.  We offer tailored assistance plans that meet your unique needs.  Residents in our assisted living apartments are able to live by themselves with services provided by trained health care providers such as escorts to meals and activities, bathing, dressing, laundry, housekeeping, and assistance with medications. Assisted living is not an alternative to a nursing home, but an intermediate level of long-term care appropriate for many seniors.

Upon admission to Assisted Living the resident, family and health care providers determine a service plan. This personalized service plan is then updated regularly to assure that the resident receives the appropriate care as his or her condition changes. Residents enjoy all the advantages and benefits of apartment home living while receiving the support they need to enjoy an enriched lifestyle.

The Rivers Advanced Care Living

The Rivers also Advanced Care Living, a specialized program for persons who require 24-hour supervision or medical care. Personalized attention from trained staff focuses on the well-being of residents while fostering independence, socialization and family involvement.

We hope you visit The Rivers campus soon. You'll find a park-like setting with award-winning grounds and a community where people love their homes and lifestyles. Join us!
