The staff of River View was friendly and hard working. They truly care about the patients. The social workers were knowlegable and guided her through every part of the process. The staff was quick to respond to my Mom's needs. She also had exceptional therapy during her stay. Her therapists were so caring and dedicated! The facility is very clean and well taken care of, and the rooms are spacious.<br>Thank you to all at River View for your care and compassion towards my mom!!! We highly recommend your facility.

I went to river view for rehab it was the worst experience of my life. They didn't have any of my meds I greatly needed the first night. I was basically thrown in a bed and forgotten about. I tried to call for help and no one would answer me. The staff walked around like mindless zombies. I wouldn't leave my dog in that place.

My brother rehabbed from the hospital at Riverview Nursing and Rehab. He was treated very well and the follow up, particularly by Mary, was exceptional. In this day and age where extra effort and attention have fallen away from customer service, Mary did the extras. Thank you.
