The Hacienda at the River

The Hacienda at the River covers 7.5 acres and sits between urban and rural scenery, with white stucco exteriors, terracotta roofs, arches, and shaded pergolas inspired by traditional Hacienda architecture, and when you walk around you'll see courtyards, fountains, birdbaths, paved walkways, and plenty of flowers and greenery, so it feels calm and open. Residents can pick from different living options, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, with amenities that fit older adults, and they give special attention to support for people living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, making things easier to find and reducing confusion. There are independent living apartments and private residences with balconies that look out over the mountains, and everything's designed for comfort with accessible bathrooms that have grab bars and easy access, while inside you'll find cozy common rooms filled with bookshelves, fireplaces, and places to sit and talk or maybe play a game. The food program is called Gourmet Bites Cuisine and offers nutritious meals in warm, inviting dining rooms that have comfortable seating and soft lighting, and you might eat outside on a patio with a wooden ceiling and floral chairs if you want, plus they have a flexible spending plan for meals so everyone gets what works for them. They keep a busy calendar of activities and events, with special programs like Watermark University and BrainCafé℠ for learning and engagement, wellness programs, horse therapy in the "In the Presence of Horses®" program, public events, and exercise spaces, plus a spa and salon for relaxing, and residents are welcome to bring their pets.

The Gardens at The Hacienda and beautiful grounds with lush plantings, fountains, and quiet places to sit make the outdoors peaceful, while the courtyard and indoor common areas offer more places to meet or unwind, and the whole community feels set up for comfort and safety, with a mix of modern apartments, villas, and shared areas that make it easy to move around and feel at home.
