Riverside Cottages At The Shores in St. Augustine, Florida, is an assisted-living community designed to serve residents who need daily oversight and specific medical support. The team is experienced in helping individuals who wander during the day or night, require wound care oversight, need oxygen therapy, or manage diabetes with oral medications. The staff is also trained to work with residents living with moderate dementia, adjusting care plans as conditions change.

To maintain resident safety, the community runs background checks on all staff, keeps an awake night-shift crew on duty, and uses door alarms and in-room pull cords to alert caregivers. On-site personnel provide non-ambulatory care, diabetic monitoring, and continence management, and are equipped to handle full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. A one-person transfer protocol is in place to help residents move safely between bed, chair, and wheelchair.

Apartments offer functional living space with cable service available in select units, though not every accommodation includes every feature. Floor plans are designed to allow caregivers easy access for routine monitoring while giving residents personal privacy.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet common nutritional standards, with snacks offered between scheduled dining times. The kitchen can modify textures or manage specific diets as ordered by a physician, ensuring residents with medical restrictions receive appropriate meals.

Residents have access to wheelchair-friendly common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop for routine grooming, and internet connectivity for email, video calls, or streaming.
