My Brother was a resident here for years, it was convenient to my Parents home so they could drive to see him daily. Our Parents passed and I moved him close to me. The staff did a fine job and took great care of my Brother. He was kept clean, comfortable and the nurse in charge of his wing made sure he was comfortable and cared for. As a long term resident he went through the changes in staff and all the staff members worked hard to care for him. In a facility where there are a large number of extremely ill residents the fact he got full attention was truly appreciated. When I moved him closer to me the transition went smoothly and no problems at all. The paperwork was handled efficiently and with care. A huge thank you from me and the kids. Prior to passing my Parents were also very pleased with his care. Thank you to everyone for making a difficult situation easy to deal with and allowed us to focus on my Brother. Thank you!!

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the dedicated team at Rivertowne Rehab for all the care and support given to my dad during his stay. A very special thank you to Lisa, Head of Admissions, Shequana nurse in the 300 section, as well as De and Cynthia for their kindness, compassion, and professionalism. Please also pass on my sincere appreciation to the speech and physical therapists for the exceptional care and attention they provided. The attention, patience, and care shown to the residents are truly exceptional and greatly appreciated by our family. Thank you again for everything you do.
