A distinctive aspect of life at River Bluff is the strong sense of community, fostered not just by the compassionate staff but also by engaging activities and special events, such as the Senior Expo held in the summer. The staff are dedicated professionals, including roles like the Unit Coordinator, Hospital Liaison, MDS Coordinator, Administrator Assistant, and Rehab Nurse. Their commitment goes beyond providing quality care—they bring a personal touch to daily life, often involving their pets in the community to brighten the residents’ days. Whether it’s the playful antics of a Brussels Griffon, the affectionate presence of an Australian Shepherd, or the energetic leaps of an Olde English Bulldog, pets are woven into the social fabric of River Bluff, adding warmth and joy to everyday routines.
The staff themselves create a sense of family, sharing stories of their beloved pets, who are frequently mentioned for their charming personalities and funny habits, such as burrowing under pillows or herding cats. These stories reflect the altogether caring, familial spirit that permeates the home. Whether it’s the MDS Coordinator’s furry companions playing endless games of fetch, the Administrator Assistant’s Border Collie learning new tricks, or the Admin’s Boston Terrier zooming in excited circles, these animals exemplify the lively and loving atmosphere that staff nurture in both their personal and professional lives.
River Bluff is open Monday through Friday from morning to late afternoon, providing ample time for families and friends to visit or arrange meetings.
