The Rivers

The Rivers offers assisted living and memory care in Portage, Wisconsin, a small town about two hours from Milwaukee. It’s a quiet, family-friendly community with plenty of green parks, wildlife refuges, and lakes. Silver Lake is next to the two buildings at The Rivers, and Swan Lake State Wildlife Area is only five minutes away. Portage is a wonderful place to settle down and enjoy the peaceful scenery and down-to-earth locals.

The facility is composed of two buildings, one for assisted living and the other for memory care, and it was recently updated with a new wing. As a medium-size community, The Rivers offers multiple floor plans to choose from and various spacious common areas. The community is kept spotless and homey.

This is an ideal spot for seniors and families who want to feel like they're truly known and part of a community. Caring staff members keep residents’ rooms and clothing clean and tidy, and residents take meals together every day in the dining room. A hairstylist comes by to make sure everyone is looking sharp. The staff works together with a group of lively locals to organize frequent activities, classes, and excursions. Residents are kept busy and enjoy painting, decorating...

Room for Improvement.

When it comes to the overall experience, the cleanliness and care services there is just not enough staff. I moved my mother out in [date removed] to a much better place. It cost more but she was well cared for and they had enough staff and activities. The director was great and really cared about the residents that were there. My mother did have heart problems and did pass away in [date removed]. But they were very compassionate and had a nurse on staff and had hospice available also.

Review for The Rivers

The caregivers do the best job they can understanding they are responsible for doing everything cleaning, making meals, taking care of individual needs of those living there, answering the phone for facility, checking in vendors and anything else that may arise. Sometimes it gets alittle chaotic. It would be nice if there were more staff.There has been alot of turn over in staff also. The ones I've met since the beginning are great. Hopefully it will get better for them.
