My overall experience with The Rivers is very positive. The woman who showed me around was kind and nice, and we saw everything that I might be interested in. She listened to me, and we saw places. I don't have good spatial relations, so seeing something makes a big difference for me. She introduced me to a couple of people. They were all nice and very welcoming. I wanted to know if there was a way to garden, not individually, but I could help with major gardens they already had. So everything was really good.
I was looking at a one-bedroom, a den, and a two-bedroom, and I found out the two-bedroom was too big, and I didn't need it. The one-bedroom with a den was idyllic, but it doesn't come up very often. When I was looking at the square footage at the foot of the one-bedroom, it was very good, so I'm pretty sure I can fit my goods in it. It had enough space for me. The staff was very respectful. I loved the people. They were all super nice and super welcoming.
I saw the dining hall and the activities areas. I saw the fitness room. They have sort of a soaking pool. There are some paths out back that are nice to walk on, but we didn't go on them. It was a little chilly. They had a lot of activities. Some are fitness related, there are some that would be for a bigger group, they're in the process of buying a bus to take people to the supermarket, and they have a book club. They have various things I probably want to try. The living atmosphere was excellent.

We toured The Rivers. The community was kind of depressing. The tour lady was over the top and a little bit too outgoing. She was rude to my dad. She didn't mean to be, but she offended him. She was nice, but at the same time, she was a little overbearing. They have independent living and assisted living. They also had a whole bunch of issues with food because of COVID, and she kept blaming everything on COVID. They didn't have a lot of choices for food. We saw the rooms. The ones that were remodeled were fairly nice. They did not have (which I found very weird) very accessible showers. They still had tub-type showers, which was not going to work for my dad. Overall, they need to listen to the person who has the needs, not their children. They need to engage with the person who would be moving in there and understand them.

We have chosen The Rivers, and we are just getting ready to move in today. We toured it yesterday. It's perfect, it's beautiful, and the staff is great. They're absolutely very nice and great people. We looked at the 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom, and we have rented a 2-bedroom. The apartment is great. They showed us everything. Right now, with the Covid, they don't have much activity. Once the Covid is gone, I'm sure they'll open up again. They have a nice parking area for your vehicle. We love it.

We like that The Rivers is nicely maintained, and there are a lot of residents for my parents' social activities. The food is good, and housekeeping is provided, too. There is a lake outdoors, which is really nice.

We moved into the independent living of The Rivers. It was excellent, we had a 2-bedroom, 2-bath, and the staff was very good; we are happy with them. They have Bingo and stretching, and they can take trips. This week, they're going to the Minnesota zoo. The food is excellent, and the dining area is really nice.

I liked the setting of The Rivers because it's in a wooded area, and I liked the people that I met. They had exercise equipment, social hours, and different activities each month. They provide transportation to the doctors' appointments, but my doctor is out of the range that they travel, so I have to drive myself to my doctor. They showed me multiple kinds of rooms, and they are all adequate in size.

I toured The Rivers. I loved it. Of all the places I had been to, that is one I like the best. I like the whole thing. I think the staff was very nice because I came away with a good feeling about the place. I had lunch with her. The dining area was good. I think they have a bus that goes grocery shopping. Also, they have a heated underground garage, and to me, that’s a must because I’m handicapped, and even though this is not a handicapped building, I could get around in it.

The Rivers was very attractive, new, and fresh but farther away than we wanted to be. They had underground parking. It seemed like they did have special places to do things. The staff was very nice, pleasant, helpful, and made us feel welcome.
