Riverview Terrace offers assisted living in a secured community, with staff trained to monitor chronic conditions and respond quickly to changes in health status. The team puts particular emphasis on diabetes management, coordinating physician oversight, blood-sugar monitoring and medication adjustments as needed. Short-term respite stays are accepted, allowing families to schedule breaks while residents receive the same full spectrum of support. A community physician is available for routine visits and urgent concerns, ensuring continuity of care without the need for frequent off-site appointments.
Additional clinical resources are delivered on campus. On-site professionals provide medication management, physical therapy, non-ambulatory and ambulatory care, and specialized support for continence needs. A dentist and podiatrist schedule regular clinics, while hospice providers can be integrated when comfort care becomes the priority. Memory-care programming, including Dakim brain-fitness sessions and environments designed to minimize confusion, is available for residents showing signs of cognitive change. Restaurant-style dining with modified textures and therapeutic diets helps maintain nutrition during illness or recovery.
Living quarters range from ground-floor studios to larger units with kitchenettes, private patios or decks, and baths equipped with wheelchair-accessible showers or standard tubs. Select apartments are air-conditioned, pet-friendly and located near indoor common rooms such as the library, media center and TV lounge, while others are closer to outdoor courtyards, walking paths and the swimming pool. Housekeeping, linens and maintenance are provided, and resident or uncovered parking is available; however, not every apartment contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify individual layouts during a tour.
Dining is structured to give residents choice and accommodate clinical dietary orders. Three daily meals are prepared in a commercial kitchen, with all-day and anytime dining options for those who prefer flexible schedules. Menus can be adjusted for vegan, kosher, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar or organic preferences, and physician-ordered modifications are honored. Residents may eat in the main restaurant, stop by the café-bistro for a lighter selection, reserve the private dining room for family gatherings, or enjoy seasonal BBQs and picnics on the patio. Guest meals are available.
Recreation and wellness programming is broad and scheduled throughout the week. Residents can work out in the fitness center, join stretching, yoga or tai chi classes, or take part in the walking club. The activity center hosts art and cooking classes, trivia nights, Bible studies and current-events discussions, while the movie theater and game room support social gatherings. Live music, dances, happy hours and wine tastings are regular events, and day trips, community service outings and intergenerational programs keep residents engaged with McMinnville and surrounding areas. Gardening enthusiasts maintain raised beds, and those interested in lifelong learning attend educational speaker series offered on site.
