Riverwalk Communities
Riverwalk Communities sits at 401 SE 6th St in downtown Evansville, Indiana, and it is hard to overstate how close Select Specialty Hospital is: 0.06 miles, essentially a short walk. For a Medicaid-accepting assisted living and adult day care community, that proximity is a practical detail worth knowing. The neighborhood earns a Walk Score of 71, meaning most errands are also reachable on foot. The facility is operated by Amehealth (Evansville) Inc, with Katie Goldsberry as administrator and Robb Shipley as Director of Nursing.
Riverwalk Communities is newly established, its license having been issued in early 2025. Of 113 beds, 82 are currently filled, putting occupancy at 73%.
Services confirmed in structured data include rehabilitation and short-term rehab, licensed nurses and CNAs, 24-hour staffing, daily living assistance, and companionship and socialization programs. The facility participates in the Medicaid Waiver Program and accepts Medicaid as the confirmed payment pathway. Fitness and recreation are available, and pets are allowed.
State inspections have tended to focus on medication management and care planning and documentation. For families seeking Medicaid-funded assisted living or adult day care in downtown Evansville with immediate hospital access and a walkable urban location, Riverwalk Communities covers the functional bases in a newly opened setting.
