River Rock Adult Family Homes is a very special place for loved ones needing special care from an awesome staff. My mother was a resident at River Rock Canyon for 2.5 years. I was very lucky to have found this home for mom and always knew she was safe and cared for. The facility was warm and cozy, and I felt welcome and comfortable visiting anytime. The staff was so caring and loving, and did everything possible to make RR feel like home. From good healthy meals to fun activities, birthday and holiday celebrations, there was always a feeling of home and family. I highly recommend River Rock Adult Family Homes for your loved one's long term care needs.

My mother-in-law was a resident at River Rock for three years. The staff was so caring and loving, and they did everything possible to make RR feel like home. Meals were served family style to create a feeling of home and family. The activities and celebrations for each resident were awesome. The residents were always made to feel special from celebrating birthdays to National days. Staff also created arts and crafts fun, individualized exercise, games, and entertainment days from singers to a harp players. The talented staff would also surprise residents with homemade cinnamon rolls, cookies, cakes, and more. Gardening opportunities were available for all to enjoy, and the flowers were beautiful, and we were always kept informed about anything going on with my mother-in-law. River Rock is a very special gem for persons who need special love and care from an awesome staff. We always felt very welcome and comfortable visiting any time.

Exceptional Care and Comfort at River Rock Care Home Review: My grandmother has been a resident at River Rock Care Home in University Place for several months now, and our family couldn't be more pleased with the level of care she receives. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the facility. The staff at River Rock are incredibly attentive, compassionate, and dedicated to the well-being of their residents. They take the time to get to know each individual on a personal level, ensuring that their specific needs and preferences are always met. It's clear that they genuinely care about the people they serve, and it brings us great peace of mind knowing that my grandmother is in such capable hands. The facility itself is immaculately maintained, with spacious and comfortable living areas, beautiful outdoor spaces, and a wide range of amenities and activities to keep residents engaged and entertained. Whether it's enjoying a delicious meal in the dining room, participating in a group exercise class, or simply relaxing in the cozy common areas, there's always something to do at River Rock. Overall, I would highly recommend River Rock Adult Family Care Home to anyone in need of assisted living or memory care services. It's a place where residents are not just cared for, but truly cared about, and that makes all the difference. Thank you to the wonderful staff at River Rock for providing such exceptional care to my grandmother.

My grandma spent the last year of her life at River Rock and we feel so lucky to have found it. She was previously in a larger retirement community and our only regret is that we didn't find River Rock sooner. The capacity is small so the residents get very personal and attentive care. The staff is loving and wonderful. The house is warm and bright. I recommend River Rock to anyone who will listen to me.
