At RiverMead’s Memory Support, we encourage residents to bring their own furniture and decorations to personalize their apartments. This personal touch helps them feel at home and comfortable in their new space, making the transition smoother.
Although moving into a smaller space, your loved one’s world will truly expand. They’ll enjoy dining, recreation, and activities right outside their door and be able to connect with other residents and staff throughout the day. The isolation they may feel at home, on their own, will be replaced with a sense of community and belonging.
We invite you to tour and experience the vibrant and warm Memory Support neighborhood in person. Seeing RiverMead firsthand is the best way to understand the lifestyle, care, and comfort we provide.
