My sister received skilled nursing care at Riverbend for several weeks earlier this year. Although there were a few issues with the transition from the hospital to Riverbend, staff was responsive in resolving them. The entire staff - management, nursing, housekeeping, etc. - were all friendly, competent and compassionate. Many family members from all over the U.S. visited my sister during her stay and staff was very accommodating about letting us use areas where this large group could gather, play games, visit and eat together. We were made to feel welcome at all times. Staff also helped us make transport arrangements when needed. My sister passed away shortly after leaving Riverbend and all of us were comforted by the loving care she received during this final stage of her life.

The administrator at this building was really kind when we toured and she seems like she knows exactly what she's talking about. I loved the relationship she had with her staff and you could tell they cared about each other which I could see being extended to the people they served there.
