Last week, at Walmart ,the Rio Terra bus driver didn't get out of his seat to help the elderly citizens down the steps, at least the last step, a helping hand for some.

I should have written this review many times before. Rio Terra Assisted Living is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! My mom has lived at Rio Terra for six years. All staff have always showed the most loving and kind care for my mom. I cannot even begin to say thank you enough. My mom is well cared for and loves Rio Terra. Thank you to the concierges, the nurses, med techs, aides, resource coordinator, resident service director, bus drivers, life style coordinators, dining room attendants, cooks, housekeeping...I am sure I am missing someone and I apologize. My family knows that my mom is in the best hands and she is happy.

My mother has generally enjoyed her time at this assisted living community, but recently we’ve encountered some concerning issues with ants in her room. A few days ago, she set a cookie down, went to the restroom, and when she came back, she picked it up without noticing that fire ants had gotten on it. She was bitten on her hands before she realized what was happening. Then this morning, she reached for the glass of water she keeps next to her bed and found it full of ants as well (not fire ants this time, but still disturbing). I understand that pests can be a challenge in any facility, but I’m hoping these incidents will be taken seriously and addressed promptly to ensure her safety and peace of mind. We appreciate the staff and want to make sure her living environment stays clean and comfortable.
