We loved Emerson for our mom Paula. She was here for almost 2 yrs before she passed from LBD. She was living alone having all the horrible symptoms LBD causes. She was scared and frankly was a danger to herself. Everyone was so loving and attentive to her. The review that says they visited a good friend often was about our mom. Let me tell you they did NOT visit often. And if they were listening to our mom remember she has severe dementia. Not sure what they expected for a memory care facility but they are way off base. Maybe they needed to check themselves in. If we had to do it over we’d place mom at Emerson again! Megan has done an excellent job as director here. Her staff works so hard to help the residents and their families through a very difficult time. The staff who always went above and beyond with mom know who they are. We love you all! Compassion like they give is hard to find these days. The residents are here for a reason and most of us are not qualified to take care of someone with dementia or to judge those that are. Allow Emerson to help. You wont regret it

We recently visited a family friend at Emerson River Pointe, we have visited many times prior, this was definitely a different vibe. We were able to meet some new staff, Mindy was amazing. Best afternoon visit we have had. Emerson, please keep hiring quality. Looking forward to visiting again. I definitely recommend.

This place is very depressing. We have a very good friend who is living here and we have found when we visit, which is often, the menu posted for the week is not what is being served. Delicious, nutritious food is replaced with low quality less expensive choices. At one visit we noticed that they did not have enough silverware to go around. My friends clothing and other personal items seem to disappear. We have found the staff to be very friendly and seem to care. If there comes a time in your life that assisted living becomes a nessisity, please do your homework on these places and if you can try to keep family with family.

Absolutely rude, the executive director has a horrible attitude. I was suggesting a way to fix an issue and she was no help and rude. Definitely not a place I want to work after that experience, can’t imagine how they treat the patients. Would recommend a class in professionalism.
