It appears to be a nice area, definitely needs improvement.
The meals good from what I see, but I don't know about the activities I do not seem them. Charging for memory care, but giving assisted living care. They promised me that they would do daily hygiene care morning and evening and help with changing clothes for bedtime. This usually never happens. Our loved one sleeps in their clothing from what they wore for the day. It's just sad. I had high hopes for better care for them, but it didn't happen.

False promises
Overpriced Don't deliver on promises. Exec Director is FAKE, loud and obnoxious. Seems to only be concerned about money. Not caring at all. Good thing Caregivers are very caring, run by a wonderful, caring Resident Director, [name removed] and assistant RN. Had a chance to view memory care, run my a nice man, can't remember his name. Food was great and is now borderline disgusting. We moved mom out and she has since passed.

We liked the lay out of the apartments. Easy for handicap to get around. It is owned by an investment firm. Suck seniors dry. Staff very friendly and trying to do their best. You can always get a hamburger, which is good, if you don't like what they serve. It's an example of rich getting richer and sucking middle class poor.

New name = bad choice
We moved our loved one in about 11 months ago. We really liked the options & management. [date removed], New Facility director took over & nothing has gone right. Staff is quitting, or they let wonderful nurses resign due to bad management. That all aside in the 11 months my loved one has lived there the price has changed 3 times! Effective [date removed] they are making all the residents take an assisted living package for $[removed]more a month! My loved one receives no cares from staff except what is provided with light housekeeping, laundry & meals. They don't have the staff to provide "cares" for all the residents. With this price increase we will be paying $[removed] a month for a 1 bedroom apartment!! That's $[removed]in 1 year! Plus, the activities director treats the independent & assisted living residents like children some of the activities are very undignified. Playing with Legos & tinker toys is not something my 85 year old loved one would like to do. We are moving our loved one.

Good Place to Live in Your Golden Years
I would choose them again to place my loved one here. They are very friendly and this stands out to me. Some of the activities available are music, arts and crafts, and more for the residents to choose from. The food could have a little less sodium and more options would be more desirable for my loved one. Maybe even more plant based eating.

great place needs improvement
From what we have seen the meals look great and the activities are great and we are fairly happy with the place. Our issue is with the communication, we aren't sure if it is because of the rotating shifts or the turnovers but the internal communication is lacking. Sometimes we ask multiples times for something to get done for our loved one and it does not reach the person it should, we really have to advocate for her.

A nice place but be prepared to take care of your loved one yourself
The people are pretty nice. I do not feel like they have enough staff but I understand that as of right now. However, I do not feel like you get what you pay for with memory care. I do not feel like they are attentive to their needs and that could be due to limited help but they need more help with cleaning rooms and showering.

Overall a great facility
We chose River Bend Assisted Living and Memory Care because it was close to family and it was cheaper than others we looked into at the time. The only room we have seen is the room for 2 that they have, they wanted to stay together and it has been perfect for them. We have not eaten here but my in laws have said that the food is really good. They said the portion sizes are great and they also have treats for the residents. The facility is in a great location it looks like a big hotel. They have a small memory care unit here as well. I would definitely recommend

I think they judge people before talking to the residence, she felt they did not try to get to know her, and when we pulled her out of this facility not one staff person said goodbye to her. They did have a bus and they got to do fun activities that she loved. The room had a lovely view, and it was very clean.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Minnesota regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Minnesota regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about AVIVA River Bend

AVIVA River Bend offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored AVIVA River Bend 7.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
