Transition Comfortably
Bridges™ Program
Some seniors have been diagnosed with memory disorders like Alzheimer's, but severe symptoms might not yet be present. Our unique Bridges Program helps residents acclimate to the community and focus on the activities they can do. As symptoms progress, we'll tailor the activities so their transition is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
This innovative program promotes engagement with a small group of friends in shared activities—like reminiscing, cooking, music appreciation, celebrations, pet therapy and more. Bridges provides a gentle transition into our memory care program: Illuminations.

A place to call home
The accommodations fit me perfectly. I love the price, it's very affordable. I'm glad to have the option of eating in my apt or in different dining rooms with many other residents. Many of my friends have moved in which makes it even better.

Finding a new happiness
After the death of my wife Lila, I asked my heavenly father for help in existing without her. He amazingly gave me my dog Cricket and from our home led us to the Courtyards at River Park. I live comfortably, and the staff have made the move and daily life as pleasant as I could have ever imagined.

Choosing Memory Care for Mom
I didn't want my mom to feel like she was going into a nursing home. The staff here is incredibly devoted, and I felt like I wasn't giving my mom a lesser life, I was giving her a better one. She feels cared for and that's what's important.
