Riverdale Assisted Living

Riverdale Assisted Living, licensed for 96 beds under Certification #00000370, is an Assisted Care Living Facility owned by Brenda Richardson Memorial Care Home, a group that's spent years working with adults and older adults who need a little extra support, and this place definitely brings together different services and amenities you'd expect, with some things set up for folks who could use memory care, respite care, or even just help now and then, and after walking through the common areas-which include a living room, a library, and both outdoor patio spaces and walking paths-it's easy to see that the staff want people to feel comfortable and at home. There's an on-site fitness room, a spa with a whirlpool for relaxing, and a swimming pool and hot tub, and people who want to keep up their appearance can make use of the full-service beauty and barber shop right on site, and with weekly housekeeping, linen service, and free laundry, chores don't have to get in the way. The apartments, which come in studio, semi-private, or two-bedroom options, have wall-to-wall carpeting and their own climate control, plus an emergency call system that gets the attention of the 24-hour awake staff, so if someone needs help, day or night, there's always support, and since they offer diabetic care, medication management, incontinence care, help transferring for non-ambulatory residents, and even care for residents at risk for elopement, they seem to listen carefully to each person's needs with regular assessments and keep care at the right level. Riverdale also offers memory care for folks with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, with a safeguarded facility, support for wandering risk, and activity programs built to help with cognitive engagement while reducing confusion, and those who like being social can spend time in the activity spaces, take part in onsite devotional services, or join group outings with scheduled transportation-though people can also get rides to medical appointments and there's busline access as well, which is helpful for families and guests. Residents get meals, including vegetarian choices, and every resident (who's 55 and over) has access to indoor and outdoor spaces for gatherings or quiet times, and since pets are allowed, it feels a lot more homey, plus the rules about no smoking indoors keep things cleaner. Payments are flexible, with private pay, social security, veteran's benefits, and private insurance all accepted, and care fees are based on whether someone needs higher, medium, or low levels of support, including charges for a second person and a community fee, but the important thing seems to be that Riverdale aims to give everyone respectful treatment, help people hold onto some independence, and provide both the staff and health support needed to keep everyone as safe, comfortable, and engaged as they want to be.
