The apartments at River View Lodge Assisted Living had full-size refrigerators, a dishwasher, and a washer and dryer. They had two levels, so there would have been a necessity to take an elevator, which concerned us. They had a couple of larger apartments, which were particularly nice. The views were very beautiful. The setting was lovely. It's like a park with a lot of grounds and the Wisconsin River there, so that was very nice. We met some of the staff, and they seemed happy and had a good relationship with the director who was giving us the tour. If mom needed to transition out of independent living into more direct care, then she would have had to go to a different building and we didn't see that building.
