Eskaton Gold River is a senior living community designed with older adults in mind, and the staff there really goes above and beyond to make residents feel at home, treating everyone like family, which you notice from the start, because they always greet people warmly and pay attention to the little things, and if someone needs help, they're never far away, even in the middle of the night. Residents get various levels of care, so people who are independent or need a hand with daily life like bathing or medication, or even require skilled nursing, all have support on one campus, and there's even a special memory care area for adults living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with its own private setting and planned activities. The facility organizes cultural events, fitness and exercise groups, walking and jogging paths, shopping trips, and both indoor and outdoor activities, so the days don't get stale, and seniors have options to stay engaged, including the unique Kids Connection program, where elders can bond with local children, which is something you don't see often. Meals get served every day, catering to different needs-some need regular food, some need vegetarian or therapeutic diets-and the kitchen staff keeps nutrition in mind. Apartments and cottages come in different sizes, with attached kitchens, private bathrooms, and dining rooms, and many have patios or balconies, which is nice for fresh air, and you'll find modern features like high-speed internet, appliances, cable TV, and handy emergency call systems in every apartment, so you don't have to worry if something happens. Most utilities-water, gas, internet, cable, garbage-are included in the rent, and residents always have access to central air, electric heating, and carpeted floors for year-round comfort, and the pet washing station is a rare touch you won't find in many places. Security gets a lot of attention, with night patrols and systems like smoke detectors and sprinklers throughout the buildings. If you need to get around, you'll find transportation provided for appointments, group outings, and shopping, plus parking and closeness to public transit. All the common areas, both indoors and out-like gardens, a gazebo, library, game and party rooms, and enclosed courtyards-let you enjoy some company or quiet time, and if you'd rather relax indoors, the lounge has plenty of seats. The building's designed to support seniors as they age, so someone can move in while completely independent and stay as needs change, using the continuing care retirement community model, and there's respite care too, for short stays, which can be by the day, week, or month. Nurses stay on staff 24 hours a day, and on-site managers and maintenance teams keep everything running, so problems get fixed quickly. Caregivers get special training, especially for dementia and memory care residents, and services include things like medication help, nutrition advice, health care, emergency treatment, and more. Residents who like to socialize will find many events, educational seminars, religion services, creative workshops, and group trips, which help people stay active and meet friends. Floor plans, a photo gallery, and brochures are available to look over, plus there are virtual tours for folks who can't visit right away, and the community's posted updates and photos regularly on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Seniors can bring a pet, use shared laundry, or schedule a haircut at the beauty salon, and life here really supports everyone's individuality and wellness, with a lot of ways to age in place, including hospice if it becomes needed. Everything is built to be accessible, following WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. The whole place runs under license number #347001241, and people can reach out with questions, request a tour, or see floor plans and more details online.
