We transport residents from Esther at Riverbend Assisted Living several times a week, and we’ve had nothing but good experiences with their team. They take great care of their residents, the place is always clean, and the staff is easy to work with. When you walk in, it honestly feels more like a resort than a typical facility.”

We cannot say enough great things about The Esther and their staff. The Caregivers were amazing while taking care of our Mom. They made sure she was comfortable and we had anything that we needed. Everyone was very compassionate and caring. Everyone made sure we had meals, water, coffee, etc. whatever we needed. They made us feel like family. Thank you from our family for taking such great care of Mom.

I moved my father to The Esther at Riverbend after determining that a different assisted living community was not a good fit. The Esther has been wonderful, and he has been absolutely thriving since his move. I could not be happier with the bright and new building, the spacious and well laid out apartment, the helpful and engaging staff, or the thoughtful and community-oriented activities!

The staff at the Esther are so wonderful and make this community feel like home. Every time I enter the building I'm greeted with positive energy. The food is fantastic and I always have to stop by for the cookies that are at the front desk.
