Riverside Assisted Living & Memory Care in Bourbonnais, Illinois, offers two levels of residential care: Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents in Assisted Living receive help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, mobility and medication management, delivered by trained caregivers supervised by licensed nurses. The Memory Care neighborhood provides structured, secure support for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, using individualized care plans that include 24-hour oversight, behavior monitoring and redirection, and coordination with physicians and specialists as needed. Both settings maintain on-call medical professionals and can arrange on-site lab work, therapy services and hospice coordination.
Supporting these core care programs, the community installs emergency call systems in resident rooms, conducts regular wellness checks, and keeps caregivers on duty around the clock. Physical, occupational and speech therapy can be scheduled on site, and visiting podiatrists, dentists and other clinicians are available by appointment. Transportation to outside medical appointments is arranged by staff, and care conferences are held with residents and families to adjust services when health conditions change. Short-term respite stays are offered when space permits, and post-hospitalization recovery plans can be developed for residents who need extra monitoring after discharge from acute care settings.
Private studios, companion suites and one-bedroom apartments are available, each with step-in showers, grab bars and individually controlled heating and air conditioning. Some layouts include kitchenettes, larger closets or patio access, but not all accommodations have every feature. Weekly housekeeping, linen service and maintenance are provided, and residents may furnish their spaces to their preference within safety guidelines.
Meals are prepared by the culinary team and served in a central dining room three times a day, with snacks and beverages available between meals. Menus rotate regularly and accommodate physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic or mechanical-soft. Memory Care residents who need extra assistance benefit from adaptive utensils, cueing and a calmer dining environment adjacent to their neighborhood.
An activity center serves as the hub for daily programming, from group exercise and art sessions to card games, movies and resident council meetings. Scheduled social outings, devotional services, housekeeping, laundry and maintenance are included, and the life-enrichment staff adapts activities to individual abilities and preferences.
