My mother moved in late May 2024. She is fully transitioned from her house of 45 years to THE RIVERS. The staff, the grounds, the food, maintenance people are all wonderful. The only hiccup was (is) Century Link for a land line. After numerous calls and missed appointments, she has decided to stay with her cell phone.... Read more

This is a really nice facility and the tour went good. I saw good interaction with the residents. It is a clean facility. All the staff were highly knowledgeable to give me answers and valuable information about the community. This was too far from our home and not within a good proximity.

We recently moved my my Dad into a Independent Living apartment at The Rivers in Burnsville. I was worried he would struggle with the transition from his previous home of 30 years. It has gone much smoother that I thought it would. The staff at the Rivers is great. They communicate well and are very friendly. My dad likes the community. So far, so good.

During my tour i was able to get all of my questions answered. I was given a proper tour of the community and shown the activities that are offered. There were a lot of wonderful residents on site that were nice. One thing i really liked was the complimentary meal that the community offered. Everything was organized and overall i had a great tour.

I would rate this community as great in all aspects. Each of the goes out of their way to be there for us at every turn. They encourage us to enter into as many of the activities as we can in order to create a family atmosphere for all residents. The dining room serves wonderful meals, including white table cloths and napkins. The wait staff is coached to treat us all with a smile and a great attitude that they are pleased to serve us. ALL areas are kept neat and clean at all times. ALL our needs are met with a smile and often times a hug! The Christmas season has been a lot of fun. They have activities scheduled for each day with choirs from the area coming to sing for us and with us, fun! The Christmas Holiday Gala was fabulous. Starting at 4pm with favors and wine while greeting each other with a Happy Christmas Hug. The evening continued with a special dinner of Beef Wellington and all the trimmings - serenaded with Choir Music and continuing with a Gospel Choir sing along. Fantastic. There are Christmas decorations at every turn including decorated Christmas trees. We also had an evening "Lite up the Nite" starting at 7pm. Glorious nite with stars shining and a church choir singing and then all the outside was lite-up with lites on the trees and portico's and gazeebo. Followed by hot chocolate and cider with Christmas cookies. This is the way for seniors to live! Bless us all.

There is really not much that can be said about The Rivers facility except that it is a decent facility and the staff members get the job done when it comes to taking care of my loved one. I can't think of any improvements.

Everyone at The Rivers is very nice and very sociable. All of the staff members and residents are just great people to work with and to have dealings with. They do seem to be a little bit understaffed however.

So far so good at The Rivers. We are working through it. I do wish he had a bigger room. We've had to have a few meetings to clarify some things. The TV service is supposed to be included and they don't seem too committed on him getting good TV service. The age of the building kind of shows. Other than that so far so good as I said.

I can not think of anything for The Rivers to improve on. They are just such a friendly staff and it is a very comfortable feeling just being there and knowing that my loved one is looked after as well as she is.

They all seem to do a pretty good job over there at The Rivers facility. I rated the place fairly high and gave it a five-star rating overall and all of the sub-categories were rated just as highly for the place.

I do not really know anything about the place. All I did was help move my loved on in to his apartment and I have just visited him a couple times. As far as I know he is happy there, so that is a good thing.

The staff at The Rivers are friendly. They means well but do not always follow through. They are not always responsive to my mom. When she calls for help they take too long. The staff does not even take mom to breakfast and lunch as they are supposed to. They do respond to my inquiries which I appreciate and they try to make things better.

Stunning retirement place for my parents. Love the folk that live there and looks like they are having a blast! The Lunch we had was perfect and the soup was out of this world. I feel like I can relax and trust the family and workers at The Rivers to take care of my folks when they move in next month!

A Place for Mom has scored The Rivers 7.9 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.
