    A Life Plan Community, in a Retreat-Like Setting

    Kirkwood by the River, a Life Plan Community with natural beauty and maintenance-free amenities, is where all of life’s priorities come together…family, friendship, independence, and health. Now with more choices and flexibility, including Cottage Living, expanded dining options, and a new, state-of-the-art Assisted Living and Memory Support building, Kirkwood is perfectly situated to provide peace of mind and financial and personal security while you enjoy what matters most.

    Kirkwood proudly offers the full continuum of care. Experience the unique peace of mind that comes from having a plan as you transition through the stages of retirement. As a Life Plan Community, our primary focus is on helping our residents live independently and fully, on their own terms. Living at Kirkwood allows you to enjoy your retirement with confidence.

    This spirit of caring is felt in every level of care, from those who prepare the special meals needed by specialty care residents, to the speech and physical therapists, nurses and staff in skilled nursing. But this caring is most evident in how we cater to your spirit.

    Kirkwood, located on 120 acres of forested land along the Cahaba River, is a nonprofit created by Independent Presbyterian Church. The spirit of ministry and compassion is evident in all levels of care: Independent Apartment and Cottage Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, and Short-term Rehabilitation.
