My 96-year old mother has been in River Bend for four months and she loves it there! Made new friends and the staff always does anything they can to make her comfortable and cared-about. Best assisted living facility we've found within a hundred miles. UPDATE: She's now been there just over one year and still loves it. So do we! UPDATE #2: She's been there three years and neither her nor our opinion has changed!
