Assisted Living and Alzheimer's Care in Englewood, Florida
"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do."
This is a simple promise that the staff at River Oaks — and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities — has shared since 1985, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful — a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for its active lifestyle.
Right at Home
Set on six acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with an outdoor courtyard, River Oaks is considered one of the premier senior living communities in Sarasota County. Located near Highway 776 across from the post office, our community offers 147 apartments on two floors. With a full range of services, residents can remain here even if their health needs change. We offer:
-
Retirement Living:
Enjoy the active retirement lifestyle of upscale independent living, where everything — yard work, housekeeping, meal preparation, even transportation — is taken care of for you. Just wake up and take in the day!
-
Assisted Living:
Should you need a helping hand from our warm and caring staff, we also offer complete assisted living services. Our services focus on wellness to help you maintain your health, so you can live as independently as possible.
-
Alzheimer's and Dementia Care:
Our community also offers an innovative memory care program, Join Their Journey®, for seniors affected by Alzheimer's or dementia. Because your family's experience will be unlike any other, our goal is to get to know you and your loved one, so that we can offer support and solutions for your individual situation. We "join the journey" of your loved one by recognizing individuality, encouraging choices and allowing residents the dignity to live in a secure, personalized and familiar setting that feels comfortable for them.
New friends, new beginnings
With its family-friendly atmosphere, River Oaks feels like a loving, caring home — not just a place to live — the moment you walk through the doors. Our common areas — including our lovely dining room, TV room and library — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer a wide range of activities each month, including shopping outings and trips to nearby Englewood Beach. While River Oaks is located in a rural area, our community is convenient to Merchants Crossing, Publix, Wachovia, CVS and Walgreen's. River Oaks is also within easy driving distance to Englewood Hospital and a nursing home rehabilitation facility if ever needed.
