River Place

Lewis

My mother will be moving into River Place. It's absolutely beautiful. We like that it's convenient. It's local. The facility is like a resort. It's only a couple of years old. There's a nice country club right next door and a nice church next door. We have a nice place to go and get fine dining if we'd like. We're just very impressed with the staff, and my neighbor's mother is also living there, and he suggested it to me and then I went and took a look. One of the greatest things is that it is very affordable when it comes to assisted living. The rooms are outstanding and just beautiful. The staff is wonderful, very cooperative, and very good at explaining everything, and will just bend over backward for you. All of the residents that I've spoken with seemed to love it there. They have so many activities; you cannot be bored. They have bingo every day at 3:00, any holiday whatsoever, they have a party, like Valentine's Day. They are constantly going places. They have a very nice van that is handicap accessible. My mother goes out in a wheelchair, so that makes a big difference. They take care of you. It is a fantastic place. It's beautiful to look at. You walk in, there's a fireplace that's bigger than a king-size bed. It's incredible. There are sitting rooms everywhere. They're not just people sitting around staring at the television. There's always a conversation. It's not a very large home. There are not like 100 folks coming in there at one time. There may be 40 at the max and that's not all at one time, so you get a sense of being able to dine and comfort plus you have your own apartment. You have the emergency button that you wear and they're straight to the nurses' desk. The dining area is excellent and the food is excellent.
