Overview of River Bend

River Bend provides assisted living, Adult Day Care, Hospice Care, and Respite Care in Great Bend, KS. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication, while the resident lives in a studio. Adult Day Care provides care during the day without requiring a resident to live at the community. Hospice Care supports residents receiving end of life care, and Respite Care may suit a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover because it provides a short stay.

River Bend has 40 beds, making it a smaller community where staff and residents get to know each other. A Walk Score of 59 means some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some errands independently. Pets are allowed. Courtney Klima serves as the administrator.
