A nice community with room for improvements

The biggest negative I have is they were supposed to take the monthly cost out on the first of each month, and they never did. For elderly folks on a fixed budget this was unacceptable, we tried reaching out several times and the executive director, never returned our calls. When we toured the facility we were given one cost, and when we signed the contracts the cost had jumped [fee removed]. I asked for a copy of the assessment for level of care for my father and never received it. My dad enjoyed his time there. From a patient care perspective I would recommend it. From a cost and financial perspective I wouldn't

River Ridge Review

The director was the only positive, but she was busy in her office. The price changed within 2 days from my telephone conversation and signed documents until arrival two days later. It was their mistake. A previous employee quoted me an amount, I signed, then they tried to say he was wrong. Long story. Director corrected it, but billing could not get it right for 2 months. We ended up leaving. Gave notice within 30 days and never got deposit back as was stated we would in contract. The director was new, the staff was new, the office/billing were old. No communication between the two. Very frustrating to deal with.

A great place for memory care

We were looking for a place for my aunt with dementia. I wanted a place where I could visit her as often as I’d like and she would be Safe, cared for and comfortable, A place for Mom helped me tremendously to find this place. We’re very happy and so is she!

A great community with a staff full of love and support. They are truly an extended family for us to rely on

5 on all of them! The place is great and takes care of my dad above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

I was able to tour both the assisted living and independent living facilities. I was impressed at the number of activities and personal help in other buildings. It also is admirable that those in independent living could participate in special programs at the other building.

We talked to residents while sitting there eating and they all had favorable things to say! Staff was friendly and asked repeatedly if they could help us. Cost compared to other places was good.
