Riverside Presbyterian House

This is one of the most caring senior living facilities you'll find. The staff are hired because they understand and enjoy working with a senior population. My mother lives here and is very high maintenance! She is checked on three times a day at mealtime by phone. If she doesn't answer, someone comes to her room. If she has any health concerns (or concerns) someone assesses her needs and assists immediately & notifies me. Her room is perfectly sized, & all rooms are being renovated to include kitchenettes. Meals are also available on site. Bingo is mom's favorite. So many other activities like piano, gospel, bluegrass, classical, to themed holiday parties, birthday celebrations, broadway shows, and shopping, too. Never a dull moment! There's an on-site hair salon, workout room, library and lots of friends to meet here! They have a visiting foot doctor, a pharmacy next door that delivers. The ladies can have their nails done, and you can get chair massages! When I grow up, I may have to move here. Thanks RPH for working so hard and caring so much for our parents! Kitchen, Maintenance, Admin, Front Desk, CNAs, & You! You are all so awesome.

My mother is currently living at this facility and I cannot say enough good things about the staff. They truly care about the residence. I visited several facility with rooms the size of a closet. The rooms are a great size and the meals are very good, lots of variety. If you want a caring place for your loved one this is the place.

My father has been in Riverside Presbyterian House for about a year and a half now. We chose it because they keep an eye on him despite having close to 140 seniors living in this apartment complex. They keep up on him with whether or not he shows up for his meals. When he didn't show up for a meal one morning, they went up looking for him and found him incoherent and unconscious on his floor. They let us know if there's an emergency or if there's anything to be concerned about even though my sister and I are in Georgia. They do a really good job with communicating. They have activities that he enjoys. The staff is excellent, and he said he hasn't had any problems with any of them. The food I tasted was good. My father prefers to eat out sometimes, but he likes breakfast there. He gets three meals a day.

My dad is at Riverside Presbyterian House. I think it’s a nice facility. The food and maintenance are really good. They take care of it all the time, so areas are well kept but has kind of an institutional feel. It’s a high rise with several floors of independent living and three floors for assisted living.

We found Riverside Presbyterian House in a book for senior living for my brother-in-law, and it is close to his sisters. The facility is wonderful, and the staff have been so kind. We had nothing against them. For meals, they make sure he eats and picks out the correct food because he is a diabetic. They also call us when he doesn't go down and eat. They keep us abreast of everything. He is provided three meals a day, and he has his own apartment, but no one watches over him.

We lived in Riverside Presbyterian for two and a half years. It was very nice, and we loved it, but we each got sick a couple of times. Family had to come from Illinois and Pennisylvania, and that was hard. However, we were very pleased with it, and we really liked their staff and the way it was run. It was a dual facility. It was HUD, and it was also a private pay place. So, they had HUD people there as well as private pay. My husband and I were missionaries for 30 years, so we definitely needed the HUD place, but we were all treated the same. The food was excellent. My husband was definitely independent whereas I was the one who needed the care, so he was out a lot. He would go play tennis, and do various things, and I swim. We were both in the community for the place because we were used to doing leader type things. They were very good. They were wonderful, and they had a wonderful director. It was run very well. They had medical staff. If you got sick during the night, they had somebody qualified to come check you out who was a LPN or an RN -- not just a med tech. The security was top notch.

The staff was phenomenonal at Riverside Presbyterian House. They're very caring, very attentive. The food was delicious. The activity was kind of limited. That is the drawback. The other drawback is it's a 14-story building with elevators for old people, which is a problem with people who have memory issues and movement issues. I absolutely, positively like the staff. Mom has an independent living apartment. It's spacious enough. She lives in a studio, it is one big room. There's a bedroom, and a living area and bathroom with a cut-out tub, so that was nice, and plenty of storage area as well. They loved bingo. They did a lot of field trips. They went on buses and went to parks, and they did piano and song singing as well.
