Posting in response to new ownership of River Ridge Nursing and Rehab facility. My mom was readmitted after a hospital stay. After she arrived, she was greeted by a nurse named Gracie, (new staff) and an Aide named Criselda on the Special care unit. I was pleased to see them, she was tended to promptly. Mom came w/new orders; they were kind and thorough about making her comfortable. My mom is in a fragile condition in her old age; I pray she will continue to be cared for with the love and patience I witnessed on her return. Thank you Avir @ River Ridge Nursing. Daughter to Ms. A.P

I truly believe that River Ridge take very good care of their residents. I have gone for about a year to feed lunch to a resident from Monday thru Friday and see how well entire staff treat their residents. They make sure that all the residents eat and they feed the residents that need help. Great job.
