My name is Kimberly, and I am very pleased with the staff at Riverdale Rehab Center. My sister is currently a patient there, and she is improving every day. She is receiving rehabilitation services, and the therapists are doing an excellent job. The entire staff has been caring, professional, and supportive throughout her recovery. I truly appreciate all of their hard work and dedication.

This is a terrible place. My mother had pneumonia and was there almost a year and passed the day they brought her home. As a matter of fact she didn’t make it home. She passed leaving.this terrible place. I talked to two other people they said their relatives passed while in this place. Remember this is not a hospice it’s a nursing home so why are so many people relatives getting worse or passing. I have a friend their now I said to this person leave wheel chair your way out out of their if yiu have too but leave. Also There extremely over priced for little help they give people. The restrooms are always dirty. The floors don’t seem like they get mopped or swept at night. It’s just bad here. I wouldn’t recommend this place to an enemy. May the Most high watch over everyone in there cause their all about the money and care not to much about the patients

I am sorry that I don’t know her name but the older white female with dark frame glasses at the front desk was extremely friendly and professional and didn’t hesitate to guide us through checking in on the kiosk this was our first visit. I met a young lady name Sasha at the nurses station who was extremely nice and helpful but I am not sure if she was a Nurse or a CNA but regardless she was very professional and friendly and there was also another young lady I think her name was Sun I watched her interact with a resident who she called Ms Lucy she was so attentive and treated the resident with compassion and respect! This young Lady also took time to acknowledge my husband and I as we were standing in the hallway talking to our friend who we came to visit today she was very friendly. Another young lady name ISA walked right passed us and didn’t bother to speak to us or the patients sitting in the hallways.
