Riverwalk Village at The House of the Good Shepherd delivers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof. Residents who wander day or night, attempt elopement, or stay up all night can be cared for within protocols designed to reduce risk and maintain safety. Staff manage oxygen therapy and provide diabetic oversight for both oral medications and insulin injections, allowing residents with varying medical needs to remain on campus. The Memory Care program accepts residents with advanced dementia and provides the structure and supervision required to support those cognitive changes without a forced move to a higher-acuity facility.
Clinical coverage includes an RN or LPN on every shift and a licensed nurse in the building 24 hours a day. Background-checked team members stay awake overnight, and door alarms, wander guards, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems channel alerts directly to staff. Podiatry is available on-site, reducing off-campus medical trips. Full assistance is offered for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the community can handle everything from simple walker support to one- and two-person transfers, Hoyer lifts, or bed-bound care. Security personnel are present around the clock to back up the clinical team.
Apartments may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, basic cable, and the option to paint or decorate, but not every unit has every feature, so it is best to confirm specific layouts during a tour. Dining operates on an on-order system, letting residents choose meals at point of service, while snacks are available between meals. Therapeutic and physician-ordered diet modifications are accommodated.
Independent Living residents can opt into medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and a monthly meal plan that reduces daily cooking demands yet preserves autonomy. These services can be adjusted as needs change, allowing residents to remain in the same apartment even if support requirements increase.
Amenities include resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, pet acceptance, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, community internet access, regular religious services, and scheduled transportation for errands and medical appointments. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
