Imagine retirement life on a cruise ship


where every day is a vacation. That’s what it’s like at Riverplace. Te independent retirement community,


off River Road near Green Island, provides the same freedom you would enjoy on a cruise. You have the options to do what you wish while others take care of the chores, like cook- ing and laundry, that you prefer not to do. Riverplace even resembles a cruise

bors shooting pool across the way or look down on the diners below. The meals served are also worthy of a


cruise ship. The executive chef prepares the nutritious fare from scratch. You’ll enjoy chatting with your table mates and will no doubt make fast friends. Your “cruise” also comes with an enrich-


ment coordinator who maintains a large cal- endar of activities, ranging from entertain- ment to exercise, from which you can choose. Te goal is to provide you with many oppor- tunities to interact and to help you discover a new purpose and passion to enrich your life. If you prefer more solitary pursuits,


there are multiple venues including an exercise room, library, chapel, many quiet sitting areas, beauty salon, TV room and an outdoor walking trail. Some amenities at Riverplace are even bet-


ter than those on a cruise. Your apartment, whether it be a studio, one-bedroom or two- bedroom, is spacious with multiple clos- ets, a kitchenette, patio or balcony in most


Covenant woods senior living Community Promotes health and indePendenCe


You can learn a lot by sitting in the lobby of a retirement commu-


nity and watching people interact. At Covenant Woods you find a community where men and women in their golden years are actively enjoying life. As residents run into each other in the lobby, they embrace and


catch up on the news. Some head out for volunteer activities while others make their way to the shuttle bus, bound for a shopping trip. Some linger at a blackboard that lists the activities for the day: bingo, a poker game, a speaker, exercise class and Bible study. Among those still active and living independently are two resi-


dents who are over 100 years old. Tat speaks volumes about the kind of care the retirement community provides. Sales Director Angie Postell says the goal is for their residents to be to be as inde- pendent as possible for as long as possible. Independent Plus, the transition program for those between inde-


pendent and assisted living, is one way they meet that objective. A customized home care plan still allows resi- dents their freedom and privacy but pro- vides a little more help when it’s needed. Te community, nestled on seven wooded


acres of north Columbus, includes assisted and independent living in 195 duplexes and apartments. Tose who enjoy independent living at Covenant Woods no longer have to worry

cases, and a bathroom designed with safety in mind. Tere are emergency pull cords in every apartment and live-in managers to assist you in the event of an urgent situation. You won’t feel trapped at sea at River-


place. The beautiful apartment community is set within secluded and beautifully land- scaped woods. When you want to venture into the world, complimentary shuttle ser- vice will transport you. Should you have a pet, Riverplace welcomes your furry friend. Your cruise never has to end since Riv-


erplace provides independent “aging in place.” Should you begin to need help with some daily tasks, home healthcare agencies or care givers of your choice can come to you rather than you having to move to an assisted living facility. You’ll find living at Riverplace is truly


a stress-free cruise with lots of new found friends. It’s the lifestyle you have earned. Come see for yourself by scheduling a per- sonal tour and complimentary meal. Visit riverplace-retirement.com to learn more.

about home repairs and maintenance, cleaning or cooking. Tey can decorate their spacious apartment with their favorite possessions and entertain without the aggravation of clean-up.

transportation, medication


management and personal care. This lifestyle is tailored to promote continued activity and good health. Activity coordinators design an active social calendar. Residents


never have to worry about loneliness. Supplementing all the planned activities is an attentive and caring staff, standing by 24-hours a day. In addition to the amenities like a hair salon, fitness facility, librar-


ies, swimming pool, chapel and variety of relaxing lounges, residents enjoy delicious and nutritious meals. The facility, which was Columbus’ first retirement community,


retains that tradition of Southern charm and hospitality. Some of the staff members have been there almost as long as Covenant Woods’ 28-year existence, and they love the family feeling. Resident Betty Jeanne sums it up: “Caring


people clean my home, do my laundry and prepare and serve my meals. I am now a lady of leisure.” Angie invites you to come visit and see
