a great place for loved ones
Our loved one absolutely loves being at The Rio Grande community, and the location for us was great which was a key factor in making a decision for our loved one. Our family is able to come and go as we please and eat some meals with our loved one which are excellent. They are very welcoming and encouraging to bring families in for meal time. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

It's Your Home
The residents and staff are very nice and go out of their way to make you feel like part of a family. The staff are good to work with the family if we have any questions or concerns about loved one. The food is good. They are willing to accommodate the resident's needs if the food needs to be delivered. The apartment, changing of linens, laundry, housekeeping, utilities, and all the meals are included in the monthly fee. You are able to pay extra for an outside agency to come in and help your loved one in the community.

A welcoming experience.
The staff at the Rio Grande were most helpful and welcoming. From our first visit and tour of the community, to my mother's move in a month later, our family was supported. At one point, my mom changed her mind about moving (last minute jitters), and David encouraged her to come back for some additional visits. As a result, mom will be moving into her new apartment at the Rio Grande on January 15th. We have a large family, and my mom has insisted on taking everyone for a tour before she moved. The staff at the Rio Grande have been most gracious about providing tours and delicious sample meals. The Rio Grande feels like a real community where people care about keeping your loved one safe and happy.

Mom is thrilled
Mom loves The Rio Grande. It is beautiful. Mom is thrilled. The staff are great there. It is the newest facility that we looked at. There are two managers there that are so sweet. She did come from a larger facility where there were a lot of staff. Like when I come with some heavy things and I need help there aren't as many staff helping. But really that's not a complaint and something I am sure I can talk to them about and resolve. Mom says that all the residents seem happy there. The staff really try with the activities. Mom is super healthy in how she eats and the staff really worked with her needs regarding that. It has gone beyond our expectations. I am so happy with this facility. It is a perfect fit for her here.

This place is wonderful! My mom wasn't feeling well when she moved here, but the staff has made sure she was given care and attention to make her comfortable. I would recommend this place to everyone! The managers have been great keeping me informed when mom had to make a trip to the hospital. They go beyond great customer service here.

Beautiful Home and Community
The Rio Grande has been an excellent choice for our family. The staff is wonderful, responsive and very caring. The facility is beautiful and well kept. The activities available are varied and plentiful. We have been very impressed. The only caveat is that there is no nursing care. There is home health care available on site, but it is an additional charge. Since we did not need a high level of care for our loved one, this worked out great. The other thing I noticed is that the residents are very welcoming which helped ease our loved one's transition. I am very happy to recommend the Rio Grande!

Get ready for Anita. .. If your parent/grandparent gets sick -- they're done for. If you have to request meals to the room, Anita will throw a fit and remind you that it's not their problem. It's "independent living", so it's basically an extremely overpriced apartment. The reviews here also seem to be from the employees themselves because a lot of the stuff posted either doesn't make sense, or is a bunch of flat out lies. If your parent/grandparent has arthritis or neuropathy, get ready for another surprise. The shower head is attached to a hose which can't be fixed in a straight position. So if they have a hard time gripping on to something for an extended period of time -- tough luck. Please take your time and research other places before dumping any senior in this place.

Things have gone very well at The Rio Grade! It's a very nice looking community, and the staff have all been wonderful. They did a really excellent job welcoming him into the community and were helpful during all stages of the transition. He wasn't sure if he wanted to make the move, but now he is really enjoying it here!

The Rio Grande offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Rio Grande 8.9 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.
