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.

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...

A Place for Mom has scored The Rivers with 2.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score based on 2 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time, The Rivers has 2 reviews with an average "overall experience" of 2.5 out of 5.
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.

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.

A Place for Mom has scored The Rivers 2.5 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.
