My grandmother resides in this community and they have been helping her after her stroke. She can do things on her own and they also encourage her too. The physical therapist coaches her into doing normal activities that she used to do and gets her out walking again. I love the aides there that help her with her evryday needs when my family and I can not help her as much as we once did. We go on short walks down the trail to get her motovation going. She joins in the activities they have on site...

I am the daughter of a parent who has been stricken with this horrific disease and I cared for my mother in our home for 11 yrs until recently having to place her in a long term care facility. I am somewhat satisfied with the accomadations she has but feel she could get better, unfortunatly I am unable to afford it. I visit the home every day to see her and to keep track of the care that she is receiving.

The staff and nurses were incredibly caring towards the patients. I saw how they were acting towards other patients even with out their families there.

My Grandmother was a resident at this county facility for sixteen years. She had colon cancer which wasn't diagnosed until her death. At times she would eat popcorn or certain foods that would cause explosive diarrhea and pain. I witnessed many occasions where the staff was extremely busy and would have to stop to assist in the clean-up. My Gram was a proud woman and I was protective of maintaining her dignity as well. I must say, overall, the caregivers worked hard to extend kindness, compassio...

Riverside is a very good place to have your relative go for extended care. The staff treats every client like family many times doing the little extra but special things. They provide many different types of activities and try to include anyone who can enjoy the experience. We have staff and case worker reviews periodically to share ideas and change the care plan as needed. We have been totally happy with Riverside in the 16 mos. our family member has been there.
