Our Residents

You are great neighbors to one another and always ready to lend a helping hand! Thank you for participating in our “Giving Back” events, both financially and with your time. Thank you most of all for making River Pointe a great place to live and work.

THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS!! Your kind hearts and thoughtful actions are met with so much gratitude and are a true reflection of our community. We thank you for taking the time to make our lives a little (well, a lot) brighter, and bringing both staff and residents so much joy.

We are also thankful to have some new and returning volunteers already in the works! Keep an eye on our Facebook page for these upcoming events, and more pictures from our hardworking volunteers. Contact Anna Leeby (Community Life Coordinator) at 218-287-6900 if you are interested in volunteering for a great group of seniors!
