River Bend Retirement Community was founded with the passion and belief that seniors deserve a choice in housing and care options. We feel these options must allow them to maintain their independence, dignity, and privacy. River Bend is owned by Callahan Construction Inc., and we opened our doors in July 2006, with 31 assisted living apartments. In Spring 2014, we began our second phase of River Bend. This addition consisted of eight assisted living apartments and was completed in July 2014. In July 2018, our third phase was completed. River Bend officially opened 17 units in Moments, our memory care unit, along with five assisted living studio apartments and a beautiful chapel.
River Bend Retirement Community is all about choice. We believe in the philosophy—your home, your way. The building has been designated to accommodate a variety of living situations. Having the choice between independent living, assisted living, and memory care you are assured to find the right fit for you. Each resident in assisted living and memory care have a specialized care plan to fit their own personal needs. River Bend’s hallmark is our red carpet, person-centered care. We train our staff carefully to maintain that reputation. Each resident is treated with respect and dignity.
