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.
First Hand Experience

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.

Life at 90
The people at the Courtyards are very nice from top to bottom. I have a lot of fun with the variety of activities. I turned 90 years old here and I had an amazing birthday party right here in the community.

Enjoying life
