Our resident-tailored programming focuses on the individual residents and their wants as opposed to a perception of what seniors like to do or a majority rules approach. We believe strongly in the benefits of socialization and purpose for every individual and do our best to have a dynamic calendar that reflects our resident’s wishes.

We understand that our residents are all different people with different likes, interests, hobbies, skill sets and talents. We want to keep their interests peaked and foster an environment of life-long learning. We also understand that not all seniors enjoy large group settings or speaking in public, so we provide programming for those residents as well. It may seem difficult to accomplish a program that encompasses all of this, which is why we rely so strongly on our residents’ input and feedback.

The methods we use to ensure we are meeting our residents social, physical and mental needs include: activity assessments, room visits (a focused visit on residents who are not participating), and monthly meetings. Transportation – Our Communities provide transportation to local churches of different denominations, doctors’ appointments, shopping (grocery & other), banks and to exciting destinations for outings. Our outings are also resident-tailored and based on the interests, requests and comfort levels of our residents.

Our activities program promotes social activity, physical movement, and creative engagement - the calendar is packed with the things that the people who live here want to see and do. Our Activities Program is full of fun, informative, and entertaining events for everyone. Each day there are plenty of activities to not only keep you busy, but you will find it is a great place where you can go to socialize with others during your stay. Join us for ice cream socials, arts and crafts, Bingo, music appreciation or current events.  We also feature many local artists and musicians showing off their talents. Once you arrive, the Activities Department will discuss your interests and hobbies and assess your activity level with you and your family.  A custom and personalized program will then be developed to meet your individual needs.

Our Activity Directors work closely with residents to provide a program of leisure and wellness activity choices and events seven days a week. Home life is a priority at River Valley Rest Home, and every resident receives a person-centered approach and an individual activity program tailored to their needs and personal goals.

With so many well-being activities for body and mind, we also recognize that everyone needs some time to honor their spirit with relaxation and mindfulness for personal reflection, and our unique leisure and wellness program incorporates opportunities for this.
