Riverside Manor
In Ames, IA, Riverside Manor offers independent living. Private living space comes with the community’s services attached, and daily care is not part of the package. A person who handles their own personal care is the one that arrangement is written for.
The area is car-dependent, and 45 is the Walk Score behind that. Errands mean a car or somebody to drive, and a resident who has stopped driving would need that arranged.
Fifty-nine beds put the place in the smaller range. Somebody who would rather be in a building that size than a large one is who it appeals to.
