The Esther at Riverbend in Springfield, Oregon operates as an assisted-living community with clinical support designed for residents who need routine help while remaining as independent as possible. The team is equipped to manage oxygen therapy and to monitor residents who control diabetes with oral medications. Care plans can be adjusted for individuals living with mild dementia, and the staff provides graduated assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting when some physical help is required. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision for walkers to one-person transfers for wheelchair users, ensuring residents can move safely throughout the building.

Additional safeguards include licensed RNs or LPNs on staff and a nurse on call around the clock. Background-checked caregivers work an awake overnight shift, and pull-cord alert systems link residents directly to staff. An activity director coordinates daily programs, including brain fitness sessions using Dakim software, while medication management, incontinence care, and pet-focused services are available on site to simplify routine health needs.

Apartments vary in layout, and not all units contain every feature, but options may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and cable service. Housekeeping comes on a regular schedule, and residents can opt into scheduled laundry services, which reduces personal chores and makes it easier to focus on daily activities.

Dining revolves around a set menu with the option to order off menu for those who prefer different choices. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the culinary team provides diet modifications as needed for medical or personal preferences. A private dining room is set aside for family visits and small gatherings.

Residents have access to on-site parking, and the community is wheelchair accessible throughout common areas. Pets are allowed, so it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, internet access, a library, communal gardens, and concierge services, while scheduled transportation assists residents with errands and appointments away from the property.
