The staff at River Ridge are the most compassionate and caring people. Jennifer, Damiana, Cavalene, the nursing and RCA staff are incredible people. Not only are they awesome to the residents, they treat the family like their own. I cannot express how grateful I am for my mom's care. Additionally, Omar and his team serve great food which is hard to come by at other assisted living facilities.

River Ridge at Avon provided an incredible place for my brother who needed a range of support at different times of his stay. River Ridge’s community provided both individualized care when needed while allowing him to have a loving environment he was proud to call his home. What stood out as much were their values and emphasis of building personal relationships with him and family members to enhance his experience. I am extremely grateful for River Ridge and how they prioritized my brother’s needs and happiness.

I wish there were more stars to give because I’d give them. My father is 98 years old when we made the extremely difficult decision to transition from living alone to assisted living. Jennifer made it an absolute breeze from the first phone call. Unfortunately in the last year his health has declined, Damiana, Andrea, Cavalean, Tammy and Tracey have been nothing short of amazing. I am navigating this blind and they have been my navigation. It is so much more than just an assisted living facility. These people care, and understand you. Not to mention everyone at the front desk is just as helpful. If anything were to ever happen to me this is where I’d want to go. I cannot appreciate this place or ALL of the people that work there more.

River Ridge is a special place with a staff that is both professional and friendly. I am always amazed at how everyone who works at the facility knows my mother by name. A special thanks to Jennifer for the promises made and promises kept. Another special thanks to Tim who takes care of any special things that my mother needs. My mother raves about the food, the level of attention is fantastic and reassuring to any family member knowing that your loved one is checked on throughout the day. The activities and special events are truly something to look forward to each and every day.<br>I cannot say enough good things about River Ridge and would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a facility for their family or friend.
