River's Edge

I like the friendliness of staff and residents. As for improvements, the only things I see are pricier repairs, which are put off. We would recommend River's Edge to other families who may need a place for their loved ones

It's a bit cliquey. But good food and beautiful scenery. I picked this community because they came and got me to bring me on a tour.

[name removed] stayed at River's Edge for one month. He had too much freedom there, and took advantage by staying in his room all the time and ordering meals in his room which he ate little of - they stacked up on the table and in the fridge, and were not cleared unless in the trash, and that had to be placed in the hall to go away - by the end of the month it became clear that he could not take care of himself and we moved him to a nursing home...he had lived alone for many years and had developed a movement disorder and needed a cane or walker to move around, and he hated to appear disabled - and I know that was a big problem -

What we like the most about the River's Edge community, is that the staff communicates. They are committed to managing my Mother's health and care through hospice. The previous assisted living facility would not and made us move her.

The sales process was very welcoming and caring. Due to decisions by the health insurance provider very little time was allowed for our move in. The staff at River's Edge stepped up and accommodated an early move in. All staff interactions have been positive. The facility is clean and inviting and residents are always about and appear relaxed and happy.

The serene surroundings of Rivers Edge Independent and Assisted Living Facility makes you forget that you live in the city! With the ability to bring your dog to roam free in the dog park on site, picking fruit off the trees near the large pond or enjoying one of their many festive occasions with other happy residents, life at The Rivers Edge facility is sure to please. The staff is wonderful and accommodating how they ever they can to make each resident feel at home and safe. And the food! The Chefs food is amazing (try his BBQ!) With gates to surround this beautiful property bordering the river you can enjoy yourself on the property or be driven to escorted destinations that you and your neighbors have suggested. A place to enjoy life!

I had a very nice tour awhile back and was looking at their invitation to Home for the Holidays, it reminded me how much I enjoyed my tour and lunch. Food was so good, nice linens, wait staff was very helpful with what she would recommend. I really enjoyed the setting of this community, the grounds are beautiful, I like to garden and be outside, especially enjoy walking. Love the lake you can walk around, and the fun dog park where I can talk my sweet [name removed]. Glad I made the right choice. 10/10 love my new friends and that includes that amazing staff!!!

Administrator intervened on family reuniting with mom. He had NO LEGAL right to do so. The lack of professionalism on his part has been reported to regional offices and APS.

I feel my mother is receiving excellent care. Her adjustment has been difficult for her and the staff have given her love and support.

Helpful personnel, kind and caring with residents. Have bent over backwards to make my mother feel at home. All help is respectful and caring. We are very pleased.

So far a great experience for my parents. Moving is always a challenge. It is a matter of adjustment to new surroundings and schedules. The staff have been very friendly and supportive. Meals are reasonable, menu a bit limited for dinner. The facility is well maintained. The 2-bedroom unit is very spacious and has just the right amount of kitchen facility when needed. Since they just moved in, unclear is cleaning program and its quality. Thus far experience has been good.

I was really impressed with the staff at The Chateau at River's Edge. They were all super friendly and caring and helpful. They have a really good program with options and the ability and desire to accommodate however they can to make it a smooth transition and pleasant experience.

Met with Mark Kubiak..Saw 1 bedrm in IL and 2 bedrm in AL. Floor plans are okay. Place overall is okay if nothing better. Food in assisted living was not healthy optioned. IL food options looked a bit better. Grounds were okay for a short walk. Liked idea of WanderGuard and also the pins residents wear with GPS.

I enjoyed this one. I liked it more only because the university is right next door so they have a lot of young people coming in, doing research and what have you but they get many visitors in that sense.

Just this weekend I moved my mother out of the Chateau at River's Edge and into their location at Carmichael Park. She needed more memory care and a more secure facility. I would give the Chateau at River's Edge a 5 for people who need physical care but mentally are pretty sound. For mild cognitive issues it's probably good. The caregivers are really good and I think it's probably a really good value for people who aren't dealing with cognitive issues. My mom was finding ways off the property so we very quickly escalated to 24 hour one-on-one care so it just didn't make sense for her to be there anymore. I think it's a good value as long as someone doesn't needs additional, outside assistance.

The facility staff does not get my mother down to activities as much as I would like or if at all. We have had some issues figuring out the medication. The food is good but the menu could be changed up a bit. The residents get alot of chicken for dinner and eggs for breakfast. I am taking my mom to all of her appointment because either the transportation does not go that far or the times are not convenient. I have contact with the care stuff but not with the professional staff. Once they received the check they had completed their job. I am rating the activities poor since my mother has not really participated in many of them. They have bingo, exercise, music, bridge, etc.

River's Edge is a really good community but we just needed a higher level of care. The community overall was really good and we would recommend it to anyone that is in need of an independent living community.

This is a good community for individuals that are more active and are more independent. If the individual can still move around and get back and forth then they would be fine here. There is not a lot of socialization. Cost was $3,800 a month. The staff is very thoughtful and respectful but there was no personalization. Would recommend this community to someone who is more independent then assisted living.
