AI Summary of Reviews

Families say River Ridge truly feels like family, and that their loved ones thrived there in both assisted living and memory care. Reviewers point to long-tenured, compassionate team members, a leadership team that communicates consistently and stays ahead of residents' needs, a spotless community in a lovely rural setting, and activities every day, including weekends.

River Ridge is an outstanding assisted living community and memory care facility. My family member lived there for almost five years and thrived. We experienced the assisted living community and the memory care unit. The leadership team (executive director, wellness coordinator, activities coordinator and facilities manager) consistently communicated and always stayed ahead of his needs. Led by an amazing executive director, the wellness coordinator ensures quality care, the facility manager keeps everything spotless and running smoothly, and the activities coordinator makes sure every resident feels included. The nurses and tech staff are compassionate, skilled, and incredibly consistent. Very little turnover, warm atmosphere, and true attention to detail. River Ridge feels like a family, not a facility. Highly recommend.

River Ridge provided exceptional care for my family member for nearly five years. We experienced the assisted living community and, in the later years, the memory care unit. The leadership team (executive director, wellness coordinator, activities director, and facilities manager) communicated consistently and always stayed ahead of his needs. They coordinated with his medical provider, kept us updated, and made sure he felt supported and engaged. The facility is spotless, well-managed, and full of staff who genuinely care. The activities coordinator checks in personally if a resident misses an activity, and the nurses and techs are compassionate, well-trained, and long-tenured. Very little staff turnover means residents are surrounded by familiar faces who know them well. River Ridge feels more like a family than a facility, and our loved one thrived there. We are deeply grateful for the entire team.

We had an excellent guide that answered all our questions. A lovely rural setting.

Really friendly, I have too many favorite caregivers to name! Activities are good, because they even have activities on the weekends.

I've gained weight! The food is good! I don't attend most activities, but they had a great party tonight. The caregivers are excellent, especially [name removed] and [name removed]!

With almost six months of care for my father who suffers from some dementia, hearing loss, occasional depression and wheelchair bound, I can truly say the staff has been patient, caring and enthusiastic with him and made him smile. He loves it here!!
