I recently visited Riverwood to tour the facility because I’m looking for a place for my mom, and I had a wonderful experience. The facility was clean, welcoming, and had a warm, home-like atmosphere from the moment I walked in. Phree, the concierge, was absolutely amazing! She greeted everyone with a smile, was so friendly and helpful, and made me feel welcome right away. You can tell she truly cares about the residents and everyone who walks through the door. She made such a great first impression and made me feel much more comfortable during the visit.
