River Crossing in Charlestown, IN is an assisted-living community equipped to manage a broad spectrum of health needs. The team is trained to care for residents who wander, including those who may attempt elopement, and can supervise individuals who are up all night. Nursing staff oversee wound care, oxygen therapy, and diabetic management whether the resident uses oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The community also accepts adults under 60 and supports moderate dementia conditions. On-site services include regular visits or coverage by nurses, physical and occupational therapists, a podiatrist, an optometrist, a dentist, and hospice professionals, with medication management integrated into each care plan.

Daily living support is available at the highest level: staff can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers, and residents who rely on walkers or wheelchairs receive the necessary support. Incontinence care and general ambulatory assistance are covered, giving families a predictable outline of responsibilities the community will assume.

Accommodations vary by unit and may feature wheelchair-accessible entryways, wall-to-wall carpeting, wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, mini-blinds, and in-unit washers and dryers. Some common areas include a central fireplace, a piano or organ, and access to beautifully manicured outdoor grounds and parking. While the property is pet-friendly, and many apartments look onto outdoor areas, not every unit contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a visit.

Meals are provided three times a day, and menus are planned to meet typical assisted-living dietary standards. Staff monitor meal consumption and can assist residents who require help with eating. Specialized diets, such as diabetic-friendly options, are coordinated with the nursing and dietary teams to align with each resident’s medical plan.

Residents have access to a walking path, outdoor areas, an activity center, a library and computer lounge, live-music events, organized social outings, a swimming pool, and various clubs and community groups. These amenities are designed to keep residents active and socially engaged while offering multiple venues for casual or structured interaction.
