The Fountains at Rivervue

The Fountains at Rivervue was a very nice place. The rooms were cheery and the lunchroom was complete with linen. There was great involvement by the residents and there were full classes for them. The residents were mostly ambulatory and doing well, not just in wheelchairs and sitting. There was a men's group since there were many men, so it would be comfortable for my dad if he moved there. They just had a very good approach to the whole process of aging.

My mother is 95, and would be staying at The Fountains while I'm on vacation in July. I thought it was a good fit for my mother. They would bring her to church; that is very important. It's also near our home, so my brother would be nearby. The facility is beautiful. We saw their dining room. Everybody was eating having conversation, and they all look very happy. The young woman who showed me around was very professional and she answered my questions. I was very impressed with her.

The Fountains at Rivervue was very nice. It's modern, very clean, and the people were very nice. I was once invited to an outdoor barbecue during summer. And once in a while, I still receive an invitation for lunch or dinner. It's not far from New York and not far from the train station. My children could take the train up and visit. The food was not extraordinary, but it was sufficient for me. I eat a very good appetite, but I like simple foods so it was all right for me.

After having homecare for my Mom, we decided to put her in an assisted living facility. At home she was just sitting in a chair with an aide. She had no quality of life. The Fountains at Rivervue was conveniently located and provided a means of socialization for my Mom. There she made friends and was able to have a little independence with the help of the staff. She had her own studio apartment...just enough for her. They provided 3 meals and snacks

The Fountains at RiverVue is an upscale retirement home located in a small suburb in Southern Westchester, NY. The facility is very clean and offers private rooms/apartments for its residents. They offer a wide variety of services including a very good restaurant style dining room, telephone, cable tv, internet service, laundry service and transportation services. There are also a number of exercise and fitness programs available throughout each week. Most of the healthcare professionals on staff during my visit were registered nurses or nurse practitioners but I was told that PA's and MDs are on the grounds often. The amenities provided by this facility are not cheap however. Costs can range from almost $5000 to over $10000 per month depending on the residents needs.

Excellent place and exceptionable staff. My friend's grandmother spend the last part of her life there and I can say that she seem happy and peaceful. Although she needed help to walk, She enjoy some independence with staff help. Nurses and doctors were always at her disposal and the center offered many activities and stimulated her mentally and physically.

There was also entertainment. Best of all, their was a nurse and doctor on staff to provide her with her medication. We were very pleased and comfortable knowing she was always cared for. We never had any regrets or guilt about putting her there and she loved it!
