Overview of Aviva River Bend

Facebook

Aviva River Bend offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Rochester, MN. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident keeps an apartment, independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care is a short-term stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community has 90 beds, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments as well as private and semi-private rooms. If a resident’s needs grow, they can move among care levels within the community, while the range of room types gives someone living alone, a couple moving together, or someone who wants a companion different options. Aviva River Bend may be a good fit for a resident or family seeking several care levels in one community, including short-term support.

The starting price is $3,985 per month. Residents can use walking paths, a fitness center, an on-site salon, a theatre room, a patio with a fire pit, and restaurant-style dining, with rehabilitation services also available. Scheduled activities include fitness classes, community outings, art workshops, educational lectures, movie nights, and memory enhancement programs, and pets are allowed.

A Walk Score of 78 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently. Riverside Center is the neighborhood location, and Aviva Senior Living is the owner.
