River Ridge at Avon offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming that extends to residents living with advanced dementia. The nursing team manages complex profiles including residents who wander day or night, present elopement risk, have behavioral challenges, remain awake overnight, or are under 60 years old. Clinical protocols are in place for wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and all forms of diabetic management—oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin.

Around-the-clock support is backed by an RN or LPN on site and a 24-hour nurse on call. All direct-care staff undergo background checks, work awake overnight, and are supported by door alarms, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems. On-site podiatry, audiology, and a therapy room reduce the need for off-campus appointments, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained for every transfer level from standby with a walker to two-person and full Hoyer-lift moves, including bed-bound care.

Apartments vary, but many include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option to paint or otherwise personalize the space. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided. Not every unit contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a tour. For older adults choosing an Independent Living arrangement on campus, the community offers medication-management monitoring that adds a layer of safety without the structure of traditional Assisted Living.

Meals are ordered from a menu, with snacks available at all hours and a private dining room reserved for family events. The culinary team supports physician-ordered and preference-based adaptations such as gluten-free preparations, mechanical-chopped or pureed textures, thickened liquids, vegetarian plates, and other diet modifications.

Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and designated outdoor smoking space. The campus houses a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie lounge, and wellness center, and it provides internet access and communal gardens for daily use. Transportation is scheduled for medical or personal errands, and the property sits near public transit for additional flexibility. On-site religious services help residents maintain spiritual routines, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
