How to approach the hard conversations with Dr. Rick Rigsby and Aaron Koelsch, founder of Koelsch communities.

Family Legacy

We are proud of the legacy we call family.

Emmett and Alice Koelsch began in 1958 with a nursing home in Kelso, Washington. Emmett and Alice instilled in their five children the philosophy: “Treat each resident with the respect and dignity they deserve.” Their legacy solidified the values for Koelsch Senior Living Communities.

El Rio

We explore beautiful Modesto for exciting things to do and see. We might have lunch at Huckleberry’s on a Monday to enjoy “southern cooking with a California twist” or visit Jack Tone Golf to get a satisfying hole in one. There is always something fun to see at the Farmers Market in Downtown Modesto, just a short distance from El Rio.
