The Esther at Riverbend Assisted Living

At The Esther, we provide our assisted living residents with the familiar comforts of home in their own senior living apartment. The community is fully equipped with indoor and outdoor common areas so our residents have the ability to enjoy the social aspects of senior living, but still have the dignity of privacy in their private senior-supported apartment. Along with luxurious amenities, residents have daily access to an array of activities, events and classes to keep them engaged and stimulated. Our on-site outdoor gardens and walking paths provide an inviting and safe environment for residents to enjoy visiting and residing in our assisted living community. The seniors of Springfield will enjoy a safe environment that provides daily assistance, sophisticated dining with health-conscious options, and a social life that many seniors thought they couldn't have again.

Senior living campus

The Esther at Riverbend Assisted Living in Springfield was carefully planned and designed with the aging process in mind. If our residents require specialty care for memory loss, we have The Rawlin at Riverbend Memory Care, which is part of the ONELIFE family, available next door. We assist families with the transition of their loved one into our sister memory care community that is patient, kind and engaging for seniors with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Neither community requires long-term leases, only month-to-month residency agreements.

I've lived at The Esther since it first opened in 2024. It's stylishly decorated and professionally landscaped, making it look great both inside and out. The administrative and medical staff are very knowledgeable and have a can-do attitude. The activities are carefully selected with residents in mind, and the team is enthusiastic, welcoming new suggestions. The food is tasty and nutritious and the kitchen staff is also open to new suggestions. We have transportation available for shopping, medical appointments, and scenic outings. My own apartment is cozy and comfortable, with windows that offer a lovely view. I'm so glad I chose The Esther – it's home!

When we first began the search for an assisted living community, our biggest hope was to find a place where Mom wouldn’t just “get by” but where she could truly thrive. Choosing Esther at Riverbend has been the best decision our family could have made. From the moment she arrived, we noticed a positive change. The warm, caring team welcomed her as if she were family, and the atmosphere felt alive with purpose. What really stands out is that Mom isn’t just surviving day to day anymore she is flourishing. She’s more engaged, more active, and most importantly, she’s happy again. One of the things that gives our family incredible peace of mind is the new Go Icon feature. It allows us to know when she’s joining in on activities, and it reassures us that she’s not spending her days isolated. Instead, she’s out there playing games, attending social gatherings, and laughing with friends. We can actually see that she’s socializing and enjoying her time, which has made such a difference in her overall outlook. Seeing Mom thriving making connections, staying active, and truly enjoying life has lifted such a weight off our shoulders. Esther at Riverbend is more than just a community; it’s a place where residents are encouraged to live fully, with dignity and joy. Our family couldn’t be more grateful.

I’ve worked at the Esther for a little over 6 months. I have worked in other facilities before but I have never worked in a community quite like the Esther. The Esther thrives to do and be better and for a new community I can proudly say I’m so thankful I was given this amazing chance to work at the Esther and assist everyone that lives in this community! I have never been in such an upbeat living environment everyday the staff and management do everything possible to make a difference not everyday is perfect but knowing I can rely on my fellow coworkers in all departments is truly a blessing you don’t see in a lot of residential communities. Im extremely thrilled to be able to say the Esther always feels like a second home and I am extremely happy I get to continue growing with the Esther community as they have so much amazing potential for a new community I’m exited to see what all this community is going to bring to the table as we grow💗💗💗

The staff at the Esther are so wonderful and make this community feel like home. Every time I enter the building I'm greeted with positive energy. The food is fantastic and I always have to stop by for the cookies that are at the front desk.

After a lengthy search, we found an excellent Assisted Living home, the Esther at Riverbend for our mother. The Executive Director, Tonya Hodges' professionalism and exceptional knowledge of the Assisted Living industry made the Esther an easy choice. On arrival, we were immediately welcomed by Tonya's staff and community residents. The grounds are well maintained, and the interior common areas are kept meticulously clean. The staff have a very positive attitude, and provide attentive and compassionate care for our mothers specific needs. Of note, Alena, a care partner, demonstrates daily a friendly, caring, and supportive attitude towards our mother and other members of the Ester residential community. We are very pleased to have our mother at this Assisted Living facility where she is thriving.
