Unique Amenities
RGV is unique in the wide range of amenities offered to
residents, from a 36-seat movie theater to restaurant-style
dining with flexible serving hours to an in-house health
and wellness rehab therapy program. Additional standard
services include weekly housekeeping, flexible transpor-
tation schedules, and exercise and game areas. Pets are
welcomed in the community, as RGV values the rewarding
association between residents and their animals. “People
choose us because of the services and features we offer that
set us apart from the other facilities in the area,” says Matt
Reese, Executive Director of RGV.
An independent living community like RGV gives retired
people the choice to receive the assistance they need—with
things like housekeeping, cooking, and transportation—
without the feel of a nursing-home facility. The 47-employee
team at RGV finds it rewarding to care for and help enhance
the lives of residents. In the process, the staff finds their own
lives enriched through exposure to the residents’ diverse
histories and life experiences. “Everyone has a story,
and we need to stop and take the time to listen to them,”
observes Reese.
All of the 99 Affinity Living Group communities, including
RGV, follow five important principles:
•
Caring
(providing a safe and comfortable environment)
•
Quality
(through service delivery and professional practice)
•
Teamwork
(working together to achieve more than can
be done individually)
•
Innovation
(in services offered and consistent improvement)
•
Financial Balance
(to ensure organizational longevity)
Affinity Living Group, currently operating in eight states,
will reach a milestone this year when it opens its 100th
community.
