A Safe Place to Age

I would recommend it to others. Hi the community you choose is basically about getting involved with your neighbors and finding connections with them. The food , the care, the mgmt, the cleaning are all equal. How willing are you as a resident to be able to do this is the key.

Would not recommend to anyone

Very poor experience, I would not recommend anyone to this facility. Too many to name. Start by false statement of food care and management. Basically our family had to be there 24/7. Quality of care terrible all the way around.

The Cortland Riverside Gardens

She states the food is adequate, but she does not leave the dinner table hungry. Very tired of green beans and chicken. For the most part, the staff seems very friendly. I don't like the fact that I don't get receipts when I pay the bill. She likes it and that's what manners.

Review for The Cortland Riverside Gardens

What stood out most is The price is very good. The facility is newer and clean. The only negative thing is that calling them and actually getting someone to answer if almost impossible.

Peace of Mind

We checked out several facilities in the Grand Rapids area. Cortland Riverside Gardens was unquestionably the nicest of them all. It’s in a quiet residential area a short distance from a beautiful park. The rooms were larger by far than other facilities, allowing my mom to keep most of her belongings. Every room has a kitchenette and a TV. There are plenty of comfortable common areas. The director, Joy, made the transition easy for us and we have peace of mind with our whole experience.
