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.

Review for River Ridge Retirement Village

I would recommend it to others but would encourage them to visit a couple of times during busy hours to observe the care of residents.It is clean, friendly and the staff are caring but they are understaffed, so residents don't always receive the care they need at the moment.It was a promising place to put my loved one.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We love hearing that you've found our community to be clean and the team to be caring. In regards to being understaffed, currently we are not, but we have had some delays in care due to staff sickness. We are always open to opportunities for improvement, so we have taken this feedback to the team. If you would like to discuss your experience in depth, please call the community and ask to speak with the Executive Director. Thank you!

Work in Progress

My dad was previously a resident at River Ridge Retirement Village and overall his experience was okay. The staff was mostly new with a few old who remained. I observed the old staff as excellent, friendly and genuinely concerned with knowing my dad. The communication and organization was terrible. The price/cost changed constantly. My dad said that the food was 'just okay.; Dad will eat anything, so it might have been terrible. The overall cleanliness was good. The director is kind and helpful, but I get the feeling that she is not supported by anyone above her. Getting into the building to visit was a constant complaint, often having to wait and call for a long time before getting inside. Hopefully, they are a learning to work together because the disconnect by the original employees and the new employees is obvious.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We are disappointed to hear about your experience with our community. We understand that communication can be an opportunity for improvement, and we apologize that we weren't able to implement a better system during your dad's stay with us. We took this feedback to the team, and because of the anonymity of your review, we aren't able to distinguish you or your experience. If you can please call the community and ask to speak with the Executive Director, we would be glad to discuss your review more. Thank you!

Excellent Staff and Value

From the day my brother entered River Ridge, he (and I) were treated like family. The staff gave 110% to make sure I was informed and kept up to date on his care. They also worked to manage his day to day health and well being along with customizing solutions to keep him thriving. And yes, they aren't perfect, but let me tell you, it isn't often when you see a management team that rolls up their sleeves to do what is in the best interest of the patient and family. I have found everyone there to be positive and always open to ideas to improve the partnership between family and staff. I would highly recommend River Ridge to anyone seeking care for a loved one.

River Ridge's Decline

When the place was bought out, by an investment company, all went downhill. The new director they fired, had zero people skills. He didn't even talk to the residents. Missed meetings, lied about taking care of issues, and his boss did nothing.
