Emeritus at River Oaks Community Testimonials

My father who has Alzheimer's has been living at River Oaks since June 1, 2011. The staff is very understanding and good to the residents as well as helpful to family members dealing with this change of life. My dad is in the locked-down, memory care facility so the security is very tight. They are vigilant on keeping the environment secure so residents do not wander outside. Each resident has their own room or they can share a suite. You can rent the furnishing from River Oaks or you can have your own delivered. There is an area where they can freely walk outside onto a porch and get fresh air. The large common area is where they gather for activities and dining. The staff assures that each resident is seated and gets the proper meal for their needs. They provide laundry service, housekeeping, snacks, meals, various activities such as bingo, trips outside to ride around town or visit the beach, medication disbursment, assistance with bathing and personal hygiene, and many many more everyday tasks. This service is so important to people with Alzheimer's as they progress in the disease and loved ones are no longer capable of caring for them. Overall, I think River Oaks is a good place for my dad and I am comfortable with the accomodations.
