Mom is safe! What a relief that she has a safe, bright, comfortable place to call home. The personalized care at Avita is comforting to both mom and family. They have activities and schedules that help Mom navigate her life with dementia. I especially love the caring staff and that the doctors come to Riverbend.

As a traveling hospice nurse, I have the opportunity to visit many assisted living facilities and this one truly stands out above the rest. The environment is exceptional: modern, spacious, and impeccably clean. From the moment you walk in, you notice how fresh and well-maintained the space is, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention to detail. What makes this facility even more impressive is the staff. Every team member I’ve encountered has been friendly, compassionate, and incredibly accommodating, not just to residents, but to visiting healthcare providers as well. It’s rare to find a facility that excels in both environment and culture, but this one does just that. Without hesitation, I can say this is a place I would feel confident recommending to families and even consider for myself in the future.

What a pleasure it was for my friend and me to spend time at Riverbend at Farmington! It’s truly a lovely facility with beautiful, inviting grounds. The staff could not be friendlier or more helpful, and we met so many people who seemed genuinely happy to be there. We enjoyed a delicious lunch in the dining room, and saw several apartments, each of which was appealing and inviting. Each apartment has its own washer and dryer - what a luxury! Riverbend at Farmington offers a good variety of activities and programs, which I would love to try out! Thanks for a fabulous visit! !

A friend and I recently visited Riverbend. What a lovely facility! It is spacious, clean, and colorfully decorated. We had a delicious lunch in the dining room. The outside patio is large and a beautiful space for outdoor dining. All of the public spaces are very attractive. The apartments are quite nice with large windows and full kitchens. Each apartment has its own washing machine and dryer. There are also many activities for the residents. All of the staff that we met were warm and friendly. We were favorably impressed with Riverbend.

My mom has lived in the Memory Care unit for 2+ years. I would prefer to have her in my own home but since that is not possible this facility is a good alternative. A nurse is on site 24/7. Aids keep her clean and out of her apartment from breakfast until after dinner. The activities program is very good. Although my mom does not participate in everything, she is always with other people and residents. Staff are primarily professional and kind. My mom has a lovely apartment and the facility is clean. An ownership change occurred in 2025. Management and most aids appear focused on continuous improvement. Since 2023 there has been significant staff turnover and staff shortages at times. My understanding is that is not uncommon. The onsite hair dresser and physical/occupational/speech therapy services are convenient and well managed.
