This is a lovely place to live! Very cozy and comfortable. Set in a quiet residential area surrounded by beautiful mature trees. The staff are kind and friendly, and the activities provided foster camaraderie and fun for the residents. Every New Year's Eve (A 20 year tradition) they put on a fancy Steak & Lobster dinner with 1st rate live entertainment! Entertainment is also provided during the year as well.

As a resident for over 20 years, I am grateful for River Glen. My greatest appreciation is for the quality of residents in the townhomes. Most of whom I called my friends. We have a nice selection of activities from Bridge to gardening to going to see plays and musicals. The facilities are well cared for. I appreciate the location being on a major bike path as well as 2 parks close by. One park has activities for seniors. The staff is currently very caring and responsive to residents needs.

This is one of the most beautiful, warm and well-kept facilities I’ve ever came across. The executive director, Kelly Raske, is extremely considerate and informative to families, and the residents seem very happy!
