My dad was resident at Riverside for almost 1.5 years. This place made his life so much better; the staff are extremely attentious and always eager to do their best. They often go out of their way to help residents and their families with everyday problems that arise. They treat residents with utmost care and have excellent communication with family members. Moving my dad to an assisted living facility was not an easy decision, but Riverside helped him regained his strength and mental health. The facilities are simple but pleasant and extremely clean.

I'm only reviewing based on what we saw. The building is decrepit, so sad! Some areas have just been painted over over the years, and other things are in their original status from whatever long ago it was built. Everywhere smells old and like mold. We visited to consider moving our relative there, and it is an absolute no-go from the 4 of us. I think I would die of depression living in such decay. We have no idea about care, administration, food, services, and such, so again, this review is solely based on what we saw.
