The Village of River Oaks is a dedicated memory-care community that admits residents with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. Care teams are trained to manage wandering behaviors, elopement risks, oxygen use, special diets, and “up all night” sleep patterns. The community also accepts younger residents under 60, individuals with psychiatric diagnoses, and both oral-med and insulin-dependent diabetics. Clinical oversight is provided by registered and licensed nurses, with a nurse available on call around the clock, and a therapy room on site for ongoing rehabilitation or behavioral services.
Resident safety and daily support are built into the routine. Every caregiver has passed a background check, an awake night shift monitors residents, and door alarms, a fenced rear area, and 24-hour staffed security reduce exit risks. Personal Emergency Response Systems alert staff instantly. Caregivers can offer full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained for walker or wheelchair mobility, standby help, or one-person transfers. An Activity Director schedules cognitive programs and therapeutic engagement seven days a week.
Apartments are offered in several floor plans, some featuring private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls, and cable connections. Residents may personalize their space with paint or décor, and housekeeping is included. Not every residence includes every amenity, so it is useful to review the specific layout options during a tour.
Meals are served restaurant style with a choice of set menus or on-order selections three times daily. Snacks are available at any time, and meals can be delivered to the apartment or enjoyed in a private dining room for family gatherings. The culinary team manages doctor-ordered diets, including gluten-free, vegetarian, pureed, mechanical-chop, thickened-liquid, and other modified textures, as well as diabetic meal plans.
Community amenities add to day-to-day convenience. Residents have access to wheelchair-friendly common areas, an exercise room, movie theater, wellness center, indoor pool, fitness center, library, communal gardens, special-interest clubs, full-service salon for a fee, and on-site religious services. Outdoor smoking areas and reserved garage parking are available, and concierge services help coordinate transportation via scheduled shuttle service or rides to medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Internet access is provided throughout the building, and multilingual care staff are on hand to support residents from diverse backgrounds. The property is also close to public transportation.
