Overview of River Mills Assisted Living at Chicopee Falls

River Mills Assisted Living at Chicopee Falls offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Chicopee, MA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication while the resident keeps a private apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

There are 95 beds. Having assisted living and memory care in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, because moving to a different care level does not require leaving the community. Housing includes studios, one bedroom layouts, and two bedroom layouts, giving residents choices about space and privacy. A studio provides one private space, while a two bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

A Walk Score of 67 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so some errands can be completed on foot. For a resident who no longer drives, some errands may therefore be possible independently without a car.
