Riverside Assisted Living at Patriots Colony
Riverside Assisted Living at Patriots Colony is an assisted living community in Williamsburg, VA. Assisted living residents receive help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while living in a private apartment. Respite care is available for short stays, which can give a family caregiver time to travel or recover.
The community has 136 beds and offers apartments with one or two bedrooms. A two bedroom layout may suit a couple moving together. Residents can swim in the pool or use the salon and spa for personal grooming without leaving the community. Rehabilitation services are available at the community, so a resident can receive therapy without arranging transportation elsewhere.
Family style dining includes multiple selections, giving residents choices at meals in a casual setting. The Dining Experience and Clubs and Activities programs offer organized opportunities around meals and activities, and religious services are available as well. A Walk Score of 80 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
