I moved here after my husband passed away. This was a very good move. Friendly people,and everyone is so nice. They have lots of activities snd very good entertainment. If you are looking for a place for your last years,this is it.
My loved one is currently a resident at Rivercrest Place and everything has been very good for her at this facility. She had some problems at first with being told what to do, but has settled in now and is very happy. My loved one says that the food is good and that everyone is friendly. It really is a great place! I would recommend Rivercrest Place to family and friends as a great option to consider for their loved ones.
5 stars for all except the last two - It is very expensive and there are not many activities or many people in general around. My dad said that he loved the staff and thought they were just fantastic. I live in another state so didn't get to observe anything myself. He also raved about the food. They cook everything from scratch there. He was here for respite and the minimum stay for that was 2 weeks at a time a believe. At the end they worked with us on a day by day basis so I didn't have to pay another 2 weeks.

Typically comprised of a private living space and a full kitchen, these communities offer homes with many of the amenities of apartment life but without the hassle. Guests can be invited over and entertained, and more time can be spent with them with the basic maintenance of daily chores out of the way.
