Riverview Retirement Community

Great facility! Very clean and kind staff and residents.

Visited a friend and would highly recommend this facility. Staff were helpful and friendly. Lunch was great and overall environment enviable.

I’ve resided at Riverview with assisted living in the Terrace since October 2023. The thing I like best about living here is the friendships I’ve made among the other residents. As you will see in this review, there are other advantages to Riverview, but friends are the only reason I am not seriously looking to move to a different facility. The food here is decent, and I find the kitchen staff to be cooperative. I have some severe allergies, and the chefs cook special meals for me as required. They come to my table frequently to check to be sure I’m getting what I want. The salad bar is a life-saver, with a wide choice of fresh ingredients. The menu is otherwise carb heavy, so I have to watch it to not gain weight! The therapists here were able to work around the Medicare issue so that I got the months of therapy that were required for me to get back on my feet. Every one of the people in the therapy department is professional, respectful, and friendly. I am thriving under their care. The Aquatic center is fabulous, and is an asset that sets it apart from other retirement facilities. I use it three times a week for a routine given me by the therapists. This is the optimum exercise for me since I have issues with my feet that make walking and etc. problematic. The downside is that major construction that is to begin in the fall of 2025 will cut off access to the pool and it’s accompanying walking track and gym except via van transport that will be scheduled during the week. No more free choice of weekend or evening swims or walks on the track! The aides and nurses, though sometimes understaffed, work hard to give us the best care they can. Most nurses are great. Nurses supervise but do not provide any medical care except with doctor’s orders. There is only one nurse on duty for a whole lot of people in two buildings! The Terrace building is old, and my roomette apartment does have some problems – such as a very small bathroom, the need for extension cords, no sink other than the one next to the toilet, and a weird hump in the entry that is a tripping hazard- but it is enough space and it looks homey with my personal touches. Lovely extras: fantastic gardens and walkways, outdoor gathering spaces, special feasts and buffets for holidays and barbecues. Do I recommend Riverview retirement community to Prospective residents? I would’ve said Yes, a year ago.
