A Wonderful Place to Live

At Emeritus at River Oaks we value our residents’ opinions and we rely on their feedback through our food, activity and resident councils to plan activities everyone enjoys. Each day is filled laughter that stems from a calendar of enriching activities. Choices in social, physical, mental, spiritual, cultural and creative activities are encouraged. Residents enjoy a variety of live entertainment and outdoor excursions, all with the security of knowing care is available if they need it.

Emeritus at River Oaks is active like a “cruise ship” is active, but without the sea water. We do however certainly enjoy the therapeutic waters of our heated pool with pool parties and aqua exercise classes. We are six acres of fun and offer an array of different activities for everyone. Social hour with karaoke, wood working classes, baking delight, Bible study, ladies’ fancy nails and men’s manicures, fishing trips, bingo, jewelry beading and many crafts, are just a sampling of what we offer. We even have a theater to enjoy movies and freshly popped popcorn.

Partnering with the Local Community

Emeritus at River Oaks is passionate about being active in the community of Englewood. Our focus is to hold events that add quality and value to the lives of others. A variety of events are held within our community that will nurture the spirit of people of Englewood and to be a resource to them. We host monthly Alzheimer's support groups and educational seminars to offer help with health issues and financial support. Our Chili cook-off is a sure fire way to enjoy the summer heat, while our participation in the holiday parade provides an outlet in the cooler part of the year.

Fine Dining

Three homemade meals are served each day. Each meal offers a tossed salad, mouth-watering entree choices and a delicious desert. Meals are served in a restaurant-style atmosphere so that everyone can enjoy conversation with friends at their table while delighting in a satisfying culinary experience.
