The rates increase on his apartment . Our only worry is that he won't be able to afford it any more because he loves it so much..... and he's on the edge of not being able to increase the amount of money that he can spend on his apartment.

Our loved one absolutely loves being at The Rio Grande community, and the location for us was great which was a key factor in making a decision for our loved one. Our family is able to come and go as we please and eat some meals with our loved one which are excellent. They are very welcoming and encouraging to bring families in for meal time. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

It's Your Home
The residents and staff are very nice and go out of their way to make you feel like part of a family. The staff are good to work with the family if we have any questions or concerns about loved one. The food is good. They are willing to accommodate the resident's needs if the food needs to be delivered. The apartment, changing of linens, laundry, housekeeping, utilities, and all the meals are included in the monthly fee. You are able to pay extra for an outside agency to come in and help your loved one in the community.

A welcoming experience.
The staff at the Rio Grande were most helpful and welcoming. From our first visit and tour of the community, to my mother's move in a month later, our family was supported. At one point, my mom changed her mind about moving (last minute jitters), and David encouraged her to come back for some additional visits. As a result, mom will be moving into her new apartment at the Rio Grande on January 15th. We have a large family, and my mom has insisted on taking everyone for a tour before she moved. The staff at the Rio Grande have been most gracious about providing tours and delicious sample meals. The Rio Grande feels like a real community where people care about keeping your loved one safe and happy.

Mom is thrilled
Mom loves The Rio Grande. It is beautiful. Mom is thrilled. The staff are great there. It is the newest facility that we looked at. There are two managers there that are so sweet. She did come from a larger facility where there were a lot of staff. Like when I come with some heavy things and I need help there aren't as many staff helping. But really that's not a complaint and something I am sure I can talk to them about and resolve. Mom says that all the residents seem happy there. The staff really try with the activities. Mom is super healthy in how she eats and the staff really worked with her needs regarding that. It has gone beyond our expectations. I am so happy with this facility. It is a perfect fit for her here.

The Rio Grande offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Rio Grande 8.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
