RiverWick in Savannah, TN is an assisted-living community designed to offer residents reliable day-to-day support while emphasizing consistent medical oversight. Licensed nurses coordinate with on-call physicians to monitor residents’ health, manage medications, and oversee diabetes care protocols. A speech therapist is available for residents who need help maintaining or regaining communication skills, and the community can accommodate short-term or respite stays for those recovering from an illness or giving family caregivers a break. Staff members are trained to respond to urgent needs around the clock and to adjust care plans as conditions change.
Beyond direct medical services, the team assists with bathing, dressing, mobility, and other activities of daily living so residents can maintain routine and independence. Scheduled wellness checks, help with scheduling outside appointments, and transportation to local providers ensure that no aspect of health management is overlooked. Residents and their families have access to care conferences to review progress and update goals, giving everyone a clear picture of support levels at any given time.
Private and semi-private suites are available, and many include features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-friendly layouts, and individual climate controls. Some apartments are pet friendly, and common areas such as lounges with a piano or organ, landscaped outdoor spaces, and on-site parking add to day-to-day convenience. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so it makes sense to confirm specific details when touring.
Dining staff prepare three meals daily and accommodate a wide range of nutritional needs. Residents can request no-sugar or low-sodium dishes, choose vegetarian selections, or arrange for kosher options by advance notice. Guest meals are available, allowing family or friends to join residents in the dining room without disrupting routines. Snacks and hydration stations are provided between meals to help maintain balanced nutrition for those managing diabetes or other health conditions.
Residents have use of an activity center, a library and computer lounge for internet access, and organized social outings into the Savannah area. The community schedules birthday parties, live music events, and seasonal gatherings to encourage social interaction. Outdoor areas and a swimming pool give residents opportunities for fresh air and low-impact exercise in monitored settings, supporting both physical and social well-being.
