RiverLodge Assisted Living

Whew

On a tour of River Lodge Assisted Living I asked about the smoking policy. Residents are permitted to smoke in certain areas. One of those places is on the patio of the person's apartment--which may adjoin another apartment. If you are a non-smoker you would have no control over what smells drift into your space. There were a lot of nice things about River Lodge, but that alone would make me want to stay away.

RiverLodge had an activity room, church services on Wednesdays and Sundays, and card games. The facility was very neat. Besides the price, it was nice, and the rooms were small.

So far I have been extremely pleased with RiverLodge. It is great. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They're really just caring. They just want to take care of my parents. The food is great. I have eaten there several times with them. They do outings, exercise, and crafts. They have a little movie theater.

My son is a resident at RiverLodge Assisted Living. Scott was not really happy there; he didn’t want to be put there. He gets forgotten in his room sometimes. Not that he needed anything, but he needed the interaction with other people. It was a beautiful place, and the director was wonderful. I like the place a lot. It was relatively new, very private, and had a lot of activities for them to do. It’s off the road and has lots of trees around. It was a little hilly, so there was no place for somebody like Scott to walk outside too much, but the lobby was wonderful. They had a big fireplace. They had people that came in to play music. The cafeteria was right there in front, and it was very neat, clean, and tidy. The rooms were very nice. They had a lot of staff that would come in, do waste baskets, clean up your room a little bit, or change your linens. He had a single bedroom, a living room, a bathroom, and a little kitchen, but he also had a patio so he could go outside and smoke if he wanted to.

The staff at RiverLodge looked attentive to their residents when we had our visit at the facility. The facility is also very clean, and I like the rooms. Their dining area is buffet style.

RiverLodge was quite nice. We have friends there. They have different size rooms. They have one-person rooms and two-person rooms and they have like, kitchenettes. The rooms were a good size. The hallways were wide. They have personal laundry facilities. They have meals that you can get from the dining room and for an extra fee, they will deliver them to the rooms. The staff, the ones I met, was very nice. Everybody else who lives there who we know seem to think they were very, very nice. There were a lot of activities. They have movie and game rooms. Some of their residents even have their little dogs and they have doors that go out to the back that you walk right out on to the lawn with sliding glass door, and they can take their dog out back.

Riverlodge is the newest facility here. It has very wide halls which was good with railings you can hold on to. Everybody was very pleasant when we were there. You can have fully assisted care where nurses would come in. They had one and two bedroom apartments which were a little bit larger. It was a very open place. They had a little café setting and an ice cream bar. They did have an exercise room and a laundry room, too.

Riverlodge has more trees around the facility. The place is clean. I wouldn't want to live there right now, but I just thought it was a little better than the other ones we visited. The staff provided more information and I just liked it better. I didn't see activities going on at the time I was there.
