Rivers Edge Assisted Living in Aitkin, MN
5.0

My grandpa has been living at this assisted living facility for a year now and it has been a wonderful experience. The staff are incredibly attentive and caring, always going out of their way to make sure he is comfortable and well taken care of. The facility itself is well-maintained and has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I feel confident knowing that my grandpa is in good hands and would highly recommend this assisted living facility to others looking for quality care.
