River Mills Assisted Living at Chicopee Falls offers an Assisted Living level of care and is equipped to handle residents with complex medical profiles. The community supports those who wander during the day or night, provides safeguards for individuals with a history of elopement, and supervises residents who are up all night. Clinical staff manage wound care, oxygen use, special diets, and diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication or injections. The team is also prepared to care for residents with advanced dementia conditions.

Care is delivered by RNs and LPNs on site, with a nurse on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and there is 24-hour security coverage. Resident doors are alarmed, and both pull-cord and Personal Emergency Response Systems alert staff if help is needed. A dedicated night-shift staff remains available even when most residents are asleep. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside trips. For daily living, the staff can provide full assistance with bathing and some physical help with eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision to a one-person assist and accommodates walkers and wheelchairs.

Apartments vary, but many offer a private bathroom, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, and cable service. Prospective residents should confirm which features are available in the specific unit they are considering.

Meals are available from a set menu or ordered individually, and snacks are on hand throughout the day. The culinary team can adjust textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered diet modifications or resident preferences.

Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheel-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, community gardens, and high-speed internet access. On-site religious services and scheduled transportation help residents stay connected to their routines. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
