Gemstone Senior Living at Riverpark

Gemstone Senior Living at Riverpark offers assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled nursing in a secure, home-like setting, and the community's been a Certified Alzheimer's Facility for 20 years, which means residents with memory problems, including Alzheimer's and dementia, get special care from staff who know what they're doing and who've been with the community a long time, with the same executive director for over six years, and folks do say the staff and administration are outstanding and care with compassion and empathy. Residents have private, semi-private, or suite rooms, and while some of those rooms are small, they're kept clean and comfortable, and people can bring smaller dogs with them to live as pets. The buildings have calming colors, cozy furnishings, and plenty of safe places inside and out, with thoughtful layouts that let folks walk around safely without the risk of getting lost, which really matters when someone's living with dementia or wandering behaviors, and Gemstone uses technology, like bracelets that alert staff if someone tries to leave, to make sure residents are safe but still have some independence. The care is personal, with tailored plans that help with daily things like bathing, dressing, meals, medication, and transfers, even for people who need extra support, and nurses are on site or on call around the clock. They handle all kinds of behaviors-wandering, aggression, and even more difficult cases, so families often find peace of mind knowing residents are in a supervised place. There's always something to do, whether it's stretching classes, karaoke, physical or occupational therapy, or activities that help people with memory loss stay engaged, and the community runs both indoor and outdoor activities, so everyone has choices. Meals are chef-prepared and can fit special diets like low salt or low sugar, and folks can invite guests sometimes, and their sheets and laundry are handled by the staff as part of regular housekeeping. Respite care, hospice services, and devotional services are also available, and the community supports aging in place with a wide range of care, so people don't have to move away as their needs change, and those all-inclusive rate plans mean families don't have to worry about extra fees when care levels go up. Gemstone Senior Living is family-owned and operated, has locations across Texas-including Fort Worth, Bulverde, San Antonio, and Austin-and is known for its strong focus on dignity and independence for seniors with memory care needs, maintaining a high review score from families and residents who say people feel valued, comfortable, and well cared for in a safe haven.
