Caring, friendly staff took care of my mother during the December through March covid season. They got the vaccines. Without covid restrictions for visitors (from the state) it would have been completely wonderful.
We weren't there for very long becuase we had to put my father in memory care so we didn't get a good sense of the activites or care services. We chose it because we were very impressed with the staff and the location. It was kind of our in neighborhood instead of being in town.
The facility is smaller, on one level, very clean and very friendly staff. Our loved one really likes the food and her room. The studio apartments are L-shaped which makes it feel more like 2 rooms. Hers faces into the inner courtyard and she is able to "observe" everything going on out there. River Run does not have a high minimum for extra care. My mother in law takes no meds, is fully ambulatory and mostly in her right mind. Extra care is based on a point system which is really low for us. There seems to be a disconnect between the Corp office and staff with the billing. Might be growing pains? We found an error on our bill from corp one month and the staff figured it out and fixed it
