My father was a resident of Spring River Christian Village. It was more of a nursing home-type environment, mainly because he had 24-7 skilled nursing. I loved the staff; they were very attentive. The social workers there were also very good. They were on top of their job and assisted people with all kinds of paperwork and things like that. They were very on time with taking care of my dad. If he called, they got there very quickly, so that he was able to get to the bathroom. They also were very good about feeding them right on time. I had no complaints regarding that.
They also had therapy right there. The only difficulty he ever had, and this was not the facility's fault, was that because of his insurance, they would approve three therapy sessions at a time. They had to go back in and try to request more. The facility itself was very good. He was able to even go to church every Sunday, and he was able to participate even. He sang at some of the services, so that was very good for him. He wasn't shut in a room and not allowed to do that kind of thing.
The rooms are pretty roomy. Most of the time, he was by himself. Towards the end, probably the last two weeks, he did have a roommate, which was not a problem with him at all. My dad's a very social person anyway, but a lot of the time he was in a room by himself. The room that he had at the beginning was nicer than the one he had towards the end, just because he had to start paying a full price per day, which was pretty rough.
The facilities were very clean and very pretty. The windows were bay windows so that they could look out and see quite a pretty area where it's located. There was a wooded area behind them, so that was nice. You didn't just look out and see a wall.
They didn't have a lot of activities, mainly because a lot of these people were in rehab. Some of them could not be at or go to certain things, but the front hall of the area when you first come in, was very pretty. They even had a fishpond, a TV, and a living room setting. They had a dining area which my dad very rarely was able to go to, mainly because of mobility. But they had a very nice dining room for the rehab people, and I was very impressed with that. For the church service, he was able to be wheeled in a wheelchair. He was able to go to that, so he went every Sunday and enjoyed being able to be part of those services because some of the facilities don't offer things like that. That was a really good plus.
My dad was not crazy about the food. At first, it didn't seem to bother him as much, but then he got a specific diet, and it was hard on him. The food was not agreeing with him. He was having a hard time with heartburn and things like that. He's also got high blood pressure, and a lot of the food was very salty. So, that was an issue with him, but I think that would be my only complaint.
They're a little pricey. I think if you had the right insurance or something, then it probably could be affordable, but it was kind of pricey.

My mom was at Spring River Christian Village. The staff was really good with her but they were understaffed too, which probably every nursing home is. They took care of her really, really well. As far as the care goes, they did a really good job. The facility was really nice and really clean. There wasn't any trash you were looking at. The food was also great. She didn't eat any of it, but they really had good meals. The room where she stayed at was really nice.

People, nurses are friendly. Facility is clean. But we had to stay on top of our Mothers care. It seemed that we were informing them on how Mom was doing instead of them telling us. We told them Mom was dehydrated, we had to call the Doctor. Moms in the hospital tonight because of a bacterial infection that runs rapid threw there facility. Not Happy!

Spring River Christian village is a great place for senior citizens. I originally went there to visit a friend but have since been back a few times to volunteer. The staff is super nice but, I may be a little biased because I have friends who work their and they have great amenaties and the place is very spacious. The facility is also very clean, I visited in the rooms with some of the residents and the rooms seemed clean as well as the kitchen and the outdoor areas. The best thing about it is that the people I volunteered to work with were all very nice and they all seemed very happy to see me. The residents also seemed to enjoy living at Spring River Chistian Village. I would definetly recommend it to anyone looking for a retirement community thats friendly and well kept with lots of amenities and great food.
