Better Living

Many of the staff have experienced a loved one with alzheimers. Every staff member i experienced was patient, caring and understanding.

The staff are very attentive and friendly. The food is good. I would recommend them to others who are searching for a place for their loved one.

They were one of the only facilities in the area that allowed the independent spouse to move in as a second person and be with the disabled spouse that needed care. [name removed] is a fantastic director. Very friendly, helpful, and available. Favorite careworker is ;name removed]. Shes very dedicated and loves the residents.

5 for all. What we like the most about the community is the staff and environment is both calm and welcoming

Great place to work filled with fun engaging activities and friendly residents that are enjoyable to be around. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Senior Community where the residents and staff are truly valued.

Staff is very nice and attentive. Facility is nicely kept. It's very nice to have a doctor come there and the hairdresser there used to work with my mom many years ago.

My father in law was in pretty bad shape when he went there. They kept him in the assistant living. They would work with him and checked on him more than was required. They knew we could not afford the constant care. In the back of our minds we knew he was getting close to the end. We were just hoping they could help us find a way to make him better. They were awesome. They tried physical therapy and more. They finally talked to us about Hospice. They came for extra help. Everyone was awesome. River Valley staff kept working with Hospice. They kept us informed what was going on when we were not there. They were all awesome.

What we like the most about Apple Valley is the staff and friends, and our loved one can have her cat which is a plus. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

When looking for a place for my grandma I was so pleased with the Rivers. They would answer my questions, their Nurse would answer my phone calls no matter the time of day. The staff are so kind and the residents seem so happy.

It felt very homey. Everyone was friendly. Dad and I were invited to have lunch there. Everything is on one floor. Always care givers around. Other places were nice but felt like I was in a hotel. He would have been on the 2nd floor with the dining room on the first floor. I saw very few people around.

This was the first time we had had an experience with assistant living. After the first month we realized our dad probably needed more help than we realized. They were very helpful with us and kept him there. They helped us get extra help for him. He was a 94 year old. He really enjoyed all the workers. We could call or visit at anytime.

My mom unexpectedly went from mild dementia to moderate and started wandering and eloping. We are private pay while in the Medicaid look back period and have been struggling to find anything in our budget. River valley was our blessing and we are able to cover the majority of her care while knowing she was in a very good and well-staffed place.

I would say that the staff is very good with the residents - very mindset on making sure they are taken care of - willing to help. Husband felt more comfortable with Emery Place - felt more like home- not huge facility where he could get lost.

My mom has lived at Pearl City Place for 17 months. It is a very warm and homey atmosphere. She really likes it. She has a lot of friends there. The director and nurse are very good and caring. The nurse is a RN and there full time. The director is also a LPN nurse. The activity director does a lot of things with the residents like Bingo, birthday parties, painting nails, movies, games and more. They just got a bus a few months ago. She has taken them on outings to movie, art museum, Discovery Center, lunch outing and Festival of Trees. They have had breakfast with cops and firemen too. They have two cooks that are very good. One of the cooks is a Chef. We are very pleased with the management at Pearl City Place.

Everything has been great so far. Communication with the family has been really great. They've responded well to my loved one's requests. The staff is always very responsive to her and her needs. My loved one enjoys the activities, especially the music. Housekeeping is done weekly and I've heard no complaints. They take care of her medications and get them to her daily. I would recommend this facility to friends and family.

My experience has been awesome. Generally, every person has bent over backwards to help me with what I need. I'm so very pleased with Brown Deer.

While volunteering at Brown Deer Place I had interactions with residents and staff who were all very friendly. The activities were enjoyable and fun to help create. Had fun while volunteering

I like the fact that it is a smaller facility. Liberty Court feels homey and welcoming. So far the staff has been attentive, always know who I am coming to see. Dad tells me all the people are nice. We had a larger group in for his birthday, they had a dining room reserved. I am happy with the care he is receiving. He is 98. I feel he has benefitted from the interaction with others.

I thought the price was too high, but I really liked the place and the people there. They seemed to have really great follow through. I liked this one the best out of the places we toured. For our family, our decision came down to price and location as most important to us.

Emery Place is a lovely facility with a wonderful staff, and our father is content after having lived here for the past two years. Our family would highly recommend this facility. If and when the time comes that you are needing assistance with your loved one, it is a "wonderful home away from home."
