RiverView Ridge in Rock Valley, IA, offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to choose the level of day-to-day support they need. Medical oversight is consistent: an RN or LPN is on staff and a nurse is on call around the clock. The community manages special diets, supports diabetics who use oral medications, and offers structured oversight for residents with mild dementia conditions. Routine podiatry visits are handled on site, reducing the need for outside appointments. For personal care, staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and some physical help with eating.

Safety and responsiveness are built into daily operations. Residents can summon help through in-room pull cords, and trained staff remain awake all night. Background checks are completed on all employees, and 24-hour security coverage ensures controlled access. Transfers are handled according to individual need, ranging from standby supervision to one-person transfers with walkers or wheelchairs. An Activity Director is also on staff to develop programming that meets physical and cognitive abilities.

Apartment layouts vary, but units may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are available in all living options. Because floor plans differ, not every apartment contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm details during a visit.

Dining provides flexibility. Daily meals are served from a set menu, but the kitchen can prepare on-order selections and manage physician-ordered diet modifications. Snacks are available throughout the day, and meals can be delivered to the apartment when needed. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings, offering added convenience.

Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, library, communal gardens, special-interest clubs, and scheduled religious services. Internet service is provided, and transportation can be arranged for errands and appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
