PositiveWonderful
Our family toured 5 assisted livings in our area and chose River Valley. Warm, kind, and helpful every visit. Grandma is all settled in now and we all still get the same warm friendly helpful treatment especially her. She also loves their home cooked meals. The staff and care provided has brought us so much peace and comfort. Looking back I wish we hadn’t waited so long.

PositiveOur experience.
Our situation was a little different from most. Our dad was 93. He was in really bad health. We had never dealt with assistant living before.

PositiveFirst time dealing with assistant living
This was the first time we had had an experience with assistant living. After the first month we realized our dad probably needed more help than we realized. They were very helpful with us and kept him there. They helped us get extra help for him. He was a 94 year old. He really enjoyed all the workers. We could call or visit at anytime.

CriticalPlace for mom
This facility has gone through a number of operators since 2019. It seems they come with big promises, but nothing changes. There is no commitment to fixing deferred maintenance and resources to the staff must be limited, the food is so bad.
