The Riverview Health Care Center is where I most recently visited, as I was along for support with a very good friend of mine. Since I would consider myself to be an experienced person when it comes to dealing with these type of facilities, I always seem to keep an eye out for what is really going on in these places. While I normally have a lot to complain about, this time was much different, as I walked away very impressed with what I saw during my two hour visit to this facility. The staff could not have been more pleasant, as they seemed eager to please my friend's family member with all of his needs, and they were also extremely courteous when she had any type of question for them. The rooms all seemed very clean and well kept, including the bathroom and all of the social gathering areas. Speaking of gathering areas, this facility had a very large area devoted to the patients entertainment, which I thought was very nice. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone, as it is very nice and well operated by true professionals.

My mother said she wanted us to never put her in a nursing home, ever. We broke that promise and to make it worse, the mother of nine did not get the visiting she so badly needed.The staffing was varied, some people could be so nice and others you would wonder how they kept their jobs working with people.I seen her go through therapy each week. She would smile at me when I got there to visit. She ate better since the food was served three times a day.Our elders were raised to be independent and had to stand alone. Now, we have to reverse the roles and help them in every days tasks and it does feel strange at first. It doesn't get any easier as time passes.
