My Experience
I am currently a resident at Riverside Residence. Overall, things have been okay for me here at this facility. The only thing that I would like to comment on is there are a few problems, but I don't want to comment on them also. As far as the food is concerned, it is not up to my standards. There's way too much starch, not enough vegetables and fruit and way more chicken than there should be. The variety is not very good, but that's just my opinion.

Smoke
When coming by to check on my uncle all the smokers are out front and you have to walk through all the smoke. Very unpleasant and no respect for visitors. Would be nice to find another area for the smokers and not the front entrance. Let's hope things get better here with the new owners.

I Would Highly Recommend
The kitchen staff are very nice. The food is pretty good for the amount of people they are serving. It is beautiful outside, especially in the summertime. It is near the Riverwalk. The decorations are gorgeous here. They have places for parking. There are no stoves. Everyone is friendly here. There is a library on site, along with a beauty shop. They allow dogs on premises. I would recommend the community to others.

The community is a very nice community. The residents and staff are very friendly. The staff is accessible, and they don't know the answer to my questions immediately. My loved one's room was recently remodeled, and is very nice.

I love it here because the people are very nice and friendly. We also have a nice river walk right outside our front door. We can walk on it when we want to. We also have a bridge we can cross too.

Review of McHenry Villa
McHenry Villa has a gem - [name removed]! She is on top of it all. I enjoy living here for over eleven years. The outdoors is inviting. The indoors is maintained by [name removed] and his team. [name removed] is a master at his craft. The McHenry Villa is a wonderful community to live in. I call it home. Stay safe. [removed].

Maybe a good fit for your loved one - give it a look.
My mother became a resident of the Villa at age 94. My mother entered fully minded and reasonably fit - doing her own laundry and keeping her apartment tidy. We wanted a nearby facility, limiting our travel. My mother specifically was drawn to having an outdoor connection. The River Walk is easily accessible out the main doors - quiet and away from traffic. Not all places have this benefit. When we met with the director, [name removed], she was friendly, warm and professional. The Villa offers independent living, 3 meals a day, housekeeping and security. Additional services are offered as requested for additional costs. The staff is helpful and caring. Apartment sizes vary. We chose a two room apartment. Maybe a good fit for your loved one - give it a look.

Mom is happy and comfortable
My Mom lives here currently and is very happy. She’s comfortable and is provided with 3 meals a day. The staff is very responsive and seems to be knowledgeable about the type of care she needs. The food is okay, at least better than hospital food. They have plenty of options, however, so if she’s not happy with the meal they give her then she can get something else. The cleanliness is fine and housekeeping comes by once a week to clean. They have a few activities available like trivia, bingo, and a few social hours. Overall, based on our experience, I would recommend them.

A Place for Mom has scored Riverside Residence 7.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
