We liked the lay out of the apartments. Easy for handicap to get around. It is owned by an investment firm. Suck seniors dry. Staff very friendly and trying to do their best. You can always get a hamburger, which is good, if you don't like what they serve. It's an example of rich getting richer and sucking middle class poor.

Our Experience
There have been some changes and this facility is definitely different than it used to be. Not bad, but not as pleasant. The food quality is not as exciting as it was for my loved one. They do offer activities, but my loved one chooses not to participate.

A welcoming community
Most of the staff are amazing! Moving in was smooth. Most importantly, my loved one loves it. A truly welcoming community. [Name removed], the Activities Director, is absolutely wonderful. It's very difficult communicating with staff/logistics/finance right now with the changes going on.

New name = bad choice
We moved our loved one in about 11 months ago. We really liked the options & management.
[date removed], New Facility director took over & nothing has gone right. Staff is quitting, or they let wonderful nurses resign due to bad management.
That all aside in the 11 months my loved one has lived there the price has changed 3 times!
Effective [date removed] they are making all the residents take an assisted living package for $[removed]more a month! My loved one receives no cares from staff except what is provided with light housekeeping, laundry & meals.
They don't have the staff to provide "cares" for all the residents.
With this price increase we will be paying $[removed] a month for a 1 bedroom apartment!! That's $[removed]in 1 year!
Plus, the activities director treats the independent & assisted living residents like children some of the activities are very undignified. Playing with Legos & tinker toys is not something my 85 year old loved one would like to do.
We are moving our loved one.

A Wonderful Place for Mom
We love River Bend! It's a friendly and supportive environment that feels like family. My loved one says she likes the food. The facility itself is excellent, and it's an excellent value. I would highly recommend it to other families. We couldn't be more pleased.

Good Place to Live in Your Golden Years
I would choose them again to place my loved one here. They are very friendly and this stands out to me. Some of the activities available are music, arts and crafts, and more for the residents to choose from. The food could have a little less sodium and more options would be more desirable for my loved one. Maybe even more plant based eating.

great place needs improvement
From what we have seen the meals look great and the activities are great and we are fairly happy with the place. Our issue is with the communication, we aren't sure if it is because of the rotating shifts or the turnovers but the internal communication is lacking. Sometimes we ask multiples times for something to get done for our loved one and it does not reach the person it should, we really have to advocate for her.

A nice place but be prepared to take care of your loved one yourself
The people are pretty nice. I do not feel like they have enough staff but I understand that as of right now. However, I do not feel like you get what you pay for with memory care. I do not feel like they are attentive to their needs and that could be due to limited help but they need more help with cleaning rooms and showering.

Good Place to go
My loved one is getting excellent care here. I do have issues getting a hold of the staff when I want to. They have him participating in all of the activities. This was one of the main things for me and he is up and moving and participating in everything.

Our experience with River Bend
We chose River Bend Assisted Living because of the location of the facility as well as the value for the money. The room sizes are very good and we are happy with that. They could use improvement on the variety and the quality of the meals, it has been an on going issue that hasn't been resolved.

Overall a great facility
We chose River Bend Assisted Living and Memory Care because it was close to family and it was cheaper than others we looked into at the time. The only room we have seen is the room for 2 that they have, they wanted to stay together and it has been perfect for them. We have not eaten here but my in laws have said that the food is really good. They said the portion sizes are great and they also have treats for the residents. The facility is in a great location it looks like a big hotel. They have a small memory care unit here as well. I would definitely recommend

my experience
I think they judge people before talking to the residence, she felt they did not try to get to know her, and when we pulled her out of this facility not one staff person said goodbye to her. They did have a bus and they got to do fun activities that she loved. The room had a lovely view, and it was very clean.

The food is great and the activities are ok. They have a couple of activities each day. The staff are wonderful at helping mom. The community is clean and well maintained. The community is in a beautiful area by the river. They have been above board on all charges and I would recommend this community.

Not Meeting Expectations
We are very disappointed that most of the impressions that this property provided us are not being brought put through. We were told that they have transportation which they do but it is during certain hours and the staff highly suggests that you have to work around their bus drivers schedule and the operating times of the bus. Some of the staff seems to be insensitive towards my mother's situation they tend to be rude and not very accommodating. She finds it very difficult to communicate with the staff because some of them do not speak English very well. My mother hates the food here nothing is good.
However, she loves her apartment it is setup wonderfully for her age group and is handicapped accessible. I think the owner should be a better job at assessing the potential resident before accepting them because in my mother's case I think her care needs are too much for the staff to handle.
