About Riva Ridge Assisted Living & Memory Care Center

Riva Ridge Memory Care Center is a small, family-style assisted living and memory care facility in Leander, Texas, located about 20 minutes north of Austin. Licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services Department as a Type B small Alzheimer's certified assisted living facility, it provides personalized care to a maximum of 16 residents.

The center offers hands-on assistance with activities of daily living and specialized care services tailored to each resident's unique needs. Care includes 24/7 monitoring, nourishing meals prepared on-site, housekeeping, and personal care services. All meals and services are included with room selection between private or shared accommodations. The facility employs a person-centered care philosophy that addresses residents' cognitive, spiritual, social, and emotional well-being rather than following solely a medical model.

The intimate 16-bed setting allows staff to customize care plans, menus, activities, and décor to accommodate individual preferences. The center overlooks countryside scenery and is designed to feel like an extension of residents' homes, with caregivers serving as an extension of family. The high caregiver-to-resident ratio enables the facility to adapt services to each patient's unique needs and build relationships with both residents and their families.

Riva Ridge serves residents with both minor and major medical needs by having both assisted living and memory care services on-site, allowing the facility to adjust care levels as residents' conditions change.

So very grateful to have learned about Riva Ridge and their Memory Care home. It is a beautiful assisted living home with lovely hill country surroundings and views, nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The leadership, caregivers and other staff are a step way above the rest! As someone who has direct experience with a family member living at three other assisted living facilities, I can very honestly and in a well informed position, convey the care and services provided at Riva Ridge is a true blessing that I will always be grateful for.

I can not imagine better and more loving care than that which was afforded to my mother over the last two years of her life. The staff is responsive to the family’s concerns and most important is loving and caring to the resident.

Riva Ridge is an outstanding facility, truly best-in-class for all categories from the incredibly warm and kind caregivers to the home-like environment that is impeccably clean and inviting. We moved my grandmother to Riva Ridge from another nursing home where she was receiving very poor care. From the instant we entered Riva Ridge we were comforted by the warm greeting from the staff, the fantastic holiday decor (that felt like home) and the professionalism of Ken Missler (owner) and his wife Ivonne (staff manager), whom take great care to ensure that all residents are well cared for, comfortable and happy. During our visits, my grandma would tell me about the games she had played that week, the momentos she had received and many other beautiful moments that created memories of joy during her last year of life. From the day she arrived until her passing, the staff of Riva Ridge did a phenomenal job of caring for her, keeping my family apprised of any changes/needs that she had, and giving us all peace of mind that she had the best possible experience for her final year. I am forever grateful to Ken and Ivonne and the Riva Ridge staff for creating an environment of care, love and respect for my grandma, and I will always remember them with gratitude.

When we searched for a place for my sister in law, we knew that Riva Ridge Assisted Living was the right place as soon as we stepped inside . It is truly a home. The residents are treated with love and respect and fed wonderful home cooked meals catered to their needs. The Christmas luncheon featured a variety of meats and sides and all were delicious. I even asked Ivonne for some of her recipes! Ivonne and her staff went above and beyond in preparing and cooking a wonderful meal and making meaningful memories for the residents. Many thanks to Ken and Ivonne for the homey, loving facility that they have created.

Riva Ridge Assisted Living was an absolute blessing for my family and my father during the last 3.5 months of his life. From the moment we entrusted him to their care, we knew it was the best decision we could have made. The facility itself, run by owner Ken, is wonderfully cozy and inviting, with a warm, home-like atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. It’s not just a facility—it truly felt like a second home for my dad. The care team was exceptional—every nurse and caregiver loved on my father as if he were their own, which gave me immense peace of mind. They made sure he was comfortable and well-cared-for in his final days, and I am forever grateful for their kindness and compassion. What really stood out was how organized and responsive the staff was. I was kept in the loop on every aspect of my dad’s care, and they handled all changes in his health with such professionalism. When the time came for his passing, they handled everything with the utmost care and sensitivity. I couldn’t have asked for more in those difficult moments. Riva Ridge truly does everything by the book—this is a trustworthy, well-run home, and I would recommend it to anyone in the Austin or surrounding area looking for a caring, compassionate place for a loved one who needs extra care. My dad was in good hands, and I will always be grateful for the love and care they provided.
