Program
We were visited by representatives from the Karr House; Angie Silvan, Community Awareness and Marketing Manager, Gayle Harriman, Executive Director and Kim Harness, RN. The facility has been purchased by Enlivant and will be under going a name change to Riverside Place. With the change will come a more committed approach to care and quality of life programs for the residents. A holistic approach to senior living designed to help residents thrive in mind, body, and spirit. In addition, they are working to be able to provide a number of rooms for residents that have exhausted their private funding and have to rely on DSHS for funding of their stay.
