Starfish Care Homes – River Hills operates as a residential care home able to manage a wide range of health needs. Residents with wandering behaviors—day or night—elopement risk, combative or other behavioral challenges, advanced dementia, and psychiatric issues can be supported. The team monitors and treats wound care cases, manages oxygen therapy, and works with residents on special diets. Diabetic management is available for those on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens, and residents under 60 who meet clinical criteria are also accepted.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked caregivers provide awake and asleep night-shift coverage, and the building maintains 24-hour security with alarmed doors, fenced outdoor areas, pull cords, and PERS devices that alert staff. Podiatry services are offered on site. Assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting is available at the full-assist level. Mobility support ranges from standby help with walkers to one- or two-person transfers, Hoyer lifts for full transfers, and care for residents who are bed-bound.
Rooms may include private bathrooms, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate, but not every room contains every feature. Prospective residents can review the available layouts to find a match for their preferences and budget.
Meals are prepared in-house with a set menu as well as an on-order option at designated times. Snacks are available throughout the day, and dietary modifications are accommodated to support diabetics, low-salt plans, texture changes, and other physician-ordered requirements.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, and pet-friendly policies. It is a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The property is wheelchair accessible, offers internet access, features communal gardens, and hosts on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and community outings.
